Watching The Shining. After Jack is locked in the freezer by his wife, Kubrick shoots him from the ground up as he's pounding on the door, begging his wife to let him out. An amazing shot (complimented by Jack's great acting), that does a great job displaying Jack's character's insanity.
What is your favorite shot from a movie?

Opening shot of Boogie Nights. Certainly not the best shot ever but I enjoy it.

When I think of The Shining, I think of the kid rolling around the floor on his big wheel. The shot is so low, his perspective, and the halls of the hotel look absolutely terrifying.

Bingo. Kubrik's other most chilling scene in cinema was in Clockwork Orange when Alex's head is stuck under water fo what seems like an eternity. I have had nightmares about that scene, lets face it the man is a genious film maker.

alot of the shots taken from the evil dead.
for such a low budget movie, they made the most out of it by creative, suspsenseful shots.
the scene where bruce campbell steps down in the basement, and then the camera does a 360 comes in mind, definitely.

The shark thrashing and tearing the cage up in "Jaws".
It was a real shark, who accidentally got tangled up in the rigging while an underwater photographer was getting shots of sharks swimming by the cage. Totally lucky to get the shot--absolutely terrifying to watch.
(I listened E's True Hollywood Story on the film last night on Sirius during a long drive.)

Not a movie: the music video for something like "Why did I move to Southern California." One long slow motion shot of a guy who's on fire whilst running. Wtf?

All I can think of is in White Man Can't Jump when Woody hustles Wesley at the beginning and he hits the last shot from the top of the arc even with the wind.
Also, two years ago I wrote an 8 page paper on the parlor scene from Psycho between Norman and Marian, that had some pretty brilliant shots in it.

havent read this thread other than the OP, so it might have already been mentioned, but if you have the shining, you really need to watch the behind the scenes making of by kubrick's daughter.
awesome insight into a number of different things including kubrick's directing style, as well as jack behind the scenes.
