Popular video blogger Jacob T. Swinney published a video containing 100 iconic shots from iconic films over the last hundred years. Each year in this collection is represented by only one frame.
As the author notes, some of the shots presented here have become textbooks and defined the foundations of their genre.
The clip begins with David Wark Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation and ends with George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road. The video also contains excerpts from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Quentin Tarantino’s Goodfellas, and Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life.
In four days, the video collected more than 260 thousand views on Vimeo alone.
