After watching a great film, it is rare that we give conscious credit to the editing (which is actually a silent compliment to the editors). However, how the film was cut creates most of the powerful feelings we get while watching and is a major contributor to our final thoughts on a film. CineFix has put together what they believe to be the top 10 most effective editing moments of all time, and it's certainly worth noting the editing mastery at work.
Here is a list of the movies featured:
- City of God
- Bonnie and Clyde
- North by Northwest
- The Godfather
- Battleship Potemkin
- Psycho
- Un Chien Andalou
- Apocalypse Now
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Lawrence of Arabia
What are some of your favorite film edits of all time? Do you think editing played a role in why it's your favorite? Pulp Fiction is high on the list for myself.
