Why does this keep happening?! Answer the previous top 5 challenge, then pose your own. It's a perfectly cromulent concept.

Top Five awful performances by great actors

1: Keanu Reeves' intro in Matrix Revolutions.
2: Christian Bale's gravely voice in The Dark Night.
3: Sam Jackson in SW I-III.
4: Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter 1.
5: Rupert Grint in Harry Potter 1. (sorry, ran out of entries here)

Next: Top Five SHOTS in big studio films(e.g. we've HEARD of, at least, no artsy-smartsy bullshit here)

I'm not worthy of answering this one.

I'm not worthy either but here it is anyway.

1 - Rocky. When he runs up the steps during his jog he's being followed by the inventor of the steadycam. It's nothing now but at the time that was pretty slick. Compare it to Chinatown 2yrs earlier, in the scene were they find Mulray's body, the POV moves up a little hill which had to be hidden by 2 cops walking in front of the camera.

2 - The Passenger. At the end they dismantled a breakaway wall to let the camera (apparently) go right through a window.

3 - Contact. I know it's CG but when the girl runs to the medicine cabinet, etc.

4 - Raging Bull. When we follow De Niro into the ring the steadycam guy follows then sits on a crane and gets lifted. It's one of those things were you go 'big deal' after you hear how it was done but it was clever for the time.

5 - The Matrix. Say what you will about the 'bullet time' thing, it's creative.

edit: Aaand Eddie beat me by 4min.

I don't really associate long tracking shots with 'creative'.

To me, the way Tokyo Story keeps the camera at waist-height for the first half of the movie (because they sit on the floor in Japan, or something) is more creative than that 8min opening of The Player (which i like and hope DIF will do one day), which is cool and a tongue-in-cheek homage, but not really creative.

I'm not Vidina and I'm not from Lofoten, but I'm gonna comment anyway.

When I first saw that episode (Død Kalm) I was pretty excited by Mulder and Scully coming to Norway.

Then they met a guy with the last name 'Trondheim', which doesn't really work as a Norwegian last name. The supposedly Norwegian language spoken in the episode is all wrong as well, but the last name thing somehow bothered me more.

Thinking back on it, I'm actually pretty sure all the other last names in that episode were more Swedish than Norwegian.

Yes, There IS a difference! And it matters!
