RE: "The Secret in Their Eyes"

I well remember watching the opening shot of "The Player and noticing that the camera was doing exactly what the actor was talking about. I liked the movie, but that's the only scene I actually remember.

Another great tracking shot is at the climax of Hitchcock's "39 steps," where the protagonists know that the guy they're looking forward is somewhere in a crowded ballroom. The camera tracks from a very wide shot forward--forward--forward until the screen is filled with the eyes of the person they are looking for. The power of this shot is lost on the typical home tv--you need a BIG SCREEN!!
