Great list of tracking shots! There are also those long 10 minute(ish) takes in Hitchcock's Rope.

Enthusiastically agree, in particular with Children of Men!

You weren’t kidding. I’ve never seen Touch of Evil but that opening scene was incredible, even more so since it was made in the 50’s!

I scrolled down the list to make sure that you'd included Russian Ark. :) I can't imagine the coordination it would take to pull that off. Stunning film.

In general, I love the creative ways they reused the material from the other films, which is what some critics dismissed as rehashing. They're so wrong.

Also, the way Neo and Trinity are reunited, and using Sati to embue the film with a sense of Long time was great.

Cole, I just watched Matrix Resurrections. No fucking way that movie deserves a three-star rating.
