The past thirty years has seen an increased in use of slow-motion, whether it’s more professional sports leagues getting with the times and implementing new technologies, or in movie theaters by directors to mark an important moment. Invenire Films has made a supercut of the 20 greatest slow-mo scenes, so cue the music and start walking slow.
Running just under three minutes, the supercut is heavy on recent genre movies like “Zombieland” and “Judge Dredd.” Before you ask, yes, Zack Snyder is represented with both “Watchmen” and “300.” Fellow slow-mo aficionado, Wes Anderson gets a couple of shots in with both “Rushmore” and “The Darjeeling Limited.”
Watch the supercut of the 20 greatest slow-mo scenes below, and let us know some of your favorites that we’ve left out. A great recent one, to start some conversation, is the hit of Ray Liotta in “Killing Them Softly.” [Live For Films]
Yikes, terrible. Why do these things keep getting posted?
No Peckinpah or Woo ? What a moron.
Torrent, torrent, torrent, torrent!!!!
Lazy. Two scenes of Wes Anderson and Sam Peckinpah none?
Days of Future Past
20 best slo mo scenes? What a croc. More like best slo mo scenes of this particular millennial\’s stolen torrent collection. Anybody who chooses a Matrix cartoon fist punch over The Shining elevator blood needs to watch waaaaaay more film, preferably something not necessarily directed by Zach Snyder.
20 Slow Motion Scenes. But really not the greatest. By any stretch.
No snippet of the slow push in scene in Goodfellas on Robert Deniro in an aura of smoke as he decides he\’s going to kill Morrie with Cream playing in the background? Shame on you.
Or any number of scenes from Sam Peckinpah\’s The Wild Bunch
I respect the editing and choice of music of this piece, but would it hurt to put in clips of movies pre-1980? Too many recent choices, not enough history here. I mean, where is the ending to Bonnie and Clyde?
