It certainly gets better than the Apple ad. Ridley Scott set a bar with Blade Runner that he never jumped again.

And I never thought the match cut in 2001 was as amazing as it's made out to be. It's too jarring and doesn't flow well. I get the symbolism, but it could be a lot smoother visually.

The best part of 2001, for me, is when Dave goes on his mission to disconnect HAL. The pleading of HAL is creepy and heartbreaking all at once.

I always thought the blonde chick in the red running shorts throwing the hammer was a hottie.

Having taken two entire courses devoted solely to cinematography, I'd hardly call either of those more than mediocre, let alone outstanding.
