No particular order.

Opening - Children of Men (2006) - before we see anything, we hear and what we hear is the de-humanization of immigrants, acts of terror, hatred and fear spreading. Then the news moves into its main story. We can see now. We see what this world concerned with: a celebrity death.

Epilogue - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) - Jesse James dies only to live on forever. Bob Ford dies the moment he pulls the trigger, only to live on for a few more years and never again.

Could Have - Schindler's List (1994) - the moment Oskar Schindler sees the severity of the Holocaust. Inspite of the thousands around him he mourns for the millions of others he could not help. He becomes unrecognizable from the man we saw in the opening.

Shootout in the rain - Road to Perdition (2002)



Guns - Taxi Driver (1977) - I'll be honest, I'm not actually sure why I like this other than I'm fascinated by it. Easy Andy is quite the salesman, I suppose.
