Clip from Children of Men
(Warning: HUGE spoilers in this clip - although it occurs early in the film, it gives away an important plot point. Only view it if you've seen the movie or don't care about seeing the spoiler.)

So, is Children of Men as good as everyone's saying? Short answer: no. The film had five screenwriters, and this point is painfully obvious while watching the movie. I gotta say though, there are some great shots in this movie. Most of the movie is obviously inspired by I Am Cuba, as there's lots of one-shot, long, choreographed shots with a handheld camera. The shot from the clip above is awesome; it appears as if it was shot with a remote camera on a small motorized dolly track on the roof of the car... that's the only way I think it could've been done.
