Memorable Facial Close Up Shots
 

I'm in the middle of assembling a video of close up shots in movies and, since I'm drawing blanks as to what else to include, I figured I'd ask you guys for suggestions. Here's a list of the films I already have:

The 400 Blows
Apocalypse Now
Battleship Potemkin
The Blair Witch Project
Brief Encounter
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
A Clockwork Orange
Come and See
Das Boot
Dead Man's Letters
Easy Rider
Full Metal Jacket
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Gummo
High Noon
Ivan, the Terrible, Part 1
Paris, Texas
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Persona
Requiem For a Dream
The Seventh Seal
Sunset Boulevard
Taxi Driver
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Third Man
Un Chien Andalou
Vampyr
The World of Apu

Grace Kelly's entrance in Rear Window

If you need more extreme closeups, there's Janet Leigh's eye in Psycho after the shower scene or Denueve's eye in Repulsion (opening credits)

👍 Classic

I'd add Martyrs (2008). The most important shot of the film.

Since I haven't seen it yet, which shot are you referring to?

City Lights: the tramp holding onto a flower looking at the girl
The Shining: Here’s Jack!
Jaws: the first reveal of the shark and Brody’s reaction
Citizen Kane: Rosebud going into the fire
Casino: the poor slob’s head in a vise

I'm referring to a different close up, btw. It's the set of close ups during the Mexican standoff at the end.

A little off subject . . .

The movie is not one of my favorites but the music is superb! Especially the last two cuts:
The Ecstasy of Gold and The Trio (the scene you are referring to).

I’d imagine it’d be one at the very end - curious now if I’m wrong @Morphy.

You'll know it when you see it. It would spoil it if I told you or posted a screencap of it.

There are hundreds. Westerns are particularly good at these shots like Leone's shots of the bad guys. Kurosawa's 'Stray Dog is the one that pops into my mind though:

You are absolutely right.

Do you edit videos for youtube / vimeo / twitter if you don't mind me asking?

No, I keep all the movie edits I make on my computer (I save them to Google Drive though) since I don't want to deal with copyright. Otherwise, I'd definitely post them online. For instance, I remember making a silent film stunt actor montage I really enjoyed that I would've liked to publish (sadly though, I lost the video years ago).

Also, looks like I need to watch Martyrs.

Can't believe I forgot about those two.

All those years later, I bloody LOVE Martyrs. Could it have been sleeker/better written/blah-blah-blah? Sure. But something about it is profoundly horrifying.

You're generally OK with montage clips / educational videos as long as there is no music in them.
