Brassed Off, the opening scene. It is darkness, there is a 'BLEEEEEEWWWWW' of the of the Pit hooter/whistle and you then see the guys coming up out of the pit, starting with their headlamps being out of focus as a series of dancing dots, slowly coming into focus as they approach the camera through the darkness. You then see them getting in the lifts, before getting showered down etc and then leaving for the day, all complete with banter, and to the sound of a Brass Band playing... what is the music??
The Launch scene from Apollo 13, particularly the point where it shows you a side on shot of the entire Saturn 5 Rocket streaking through the ever darkening atmoshere at several thousand miles per hour. The rockets were HUGE, but in this scene, it looks tiny and just illustrates just how small and insignifcant these guys were, as well as emphasising the incredible speed they were actually travelling at (17,500 MPH just to leave Earth).
The 'Define Dancing' scene from Wall - E.
There are plenty of others, such as the full taxiing and taking off scene of the B - 36 in Strategic Air Command (a real life, truly historical film caught in glorious Technicolour, complete with Jimmy Stewart. Soon it was all gone and B - 52s were in charge forevermore. If you want to see a B - 36 and the last gasp of the great American Propellor driven bombers, just watch the film!
I often wonder if the people making the film knew that what they were filming was soon to be confined to the history books - the B - 36 was the last of the great WW2 stlye bomber types).
I'll think of more later.
