What are some movies with long seamless scenes/takes?


I can only think of Rope and Children of Men but there must be others. I want movies with long sequences of action or dialogue without any edits.

The longest single shot movie is The Russian Ark about a Palace in Russia and the historical events that occured in and around it. The whole movie is one, long editless shot of over 90 minutes. it took 3 attempts to film the entire thing in one take... no editting. It is the longest single shot movie in the history of film.

Check out the site listed below...

Paris, je t'aime:

It's actually a movie made up of 16 short stories, but a couple of the sections are shot like you described. They are simply a one shot take of two characters talking.

This is a lame movie (in my opinion) but I believe "The Breakfast Club" had long sequences of dialogue without edits(?)

The protector has a 5 minute seamless fight scene.

Quentin Tarantino is known for it.

Elephant. Lots of that movie are long, continuous shots following a character for 5-10 minutes. It's very odd, but intriguing.

The opening scene from "Touch of Evil" is one long unedited scene shot by what had to be a crane that covered a number of blocks.

"Good Will Hunting" had several scenes like that ... as did "Before Sunset" and "Before Sunrise" (which were a lot ad libbed as well). I found a website with 15 movies with scenes like this ....

children of men has awesome long, uncut shots in it. and on the dvd, there's a documentary about how they did some of them.
