Best forward-moving shots?
A friend is looking for excellent fast forward-moving shots for a paper he's writing. Sonnenfeld and the Coens did it a lot. Examples of what he means:
The Evil Dead roaming camera
The big forward-moving shot that ends up in a screaming mouth in Raising Arizona
The Naked Gun's opening credits, driving around from the car's POV
Fight Club's and Panic Room's big "ooh, let's see all this" shots (many of which were computer-enhanced)
Camera moves forward and hits Anna Faris in the head from Scary Movie
Camera moves over Paris and glides into Ewan McGregor's apartment in Moulin Rouge
Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves's "arrow-cam"
Danny riding down the halls on his big wheel in THE SHINING
The intro to Narc where Tellis chasing a suspect from Tellis' POV
He's not looking for any slow steadicam shots... nothing like Goodfellas or Russian Ark...

Then again, maybe I just love seeing Marky Mark get shot.

Matrix Reloaded.
The camera acting as Neo as he comes down into the city then the highway where the fight is taking place on the top of the Semi Truck
Run Lola Run
Starts with an aerial shot of the city, then moves down incredibly fast, into her window and in front of her face as the phone rings.

My favorite shots are PTA's in the opening to Boogie Nights or Magnolia.. Boogie Nights is one long steadi-cam shot while Magnolia has some carefully hidden cuts within to make it seem like a seamless shot.

Tenebre. The shot which has the camera revolving all around the house (including peeking in windows to see what's going on in the house) before finally going in and watching the reporter getting murdered.
