Best single image from a film

It's not necessarily a still, but it's close. At the very end of Princess Mononoke, there is a shot that seems to be an extended still of a completely barren hillside, which slowly turns green as plantlife beings to flourish on it. That little shot accompanied by Ashitaka to San, a simple, but very poignant piece of Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack, is one of the most moving pieces of film I've ever seen.
I love how high up the lightswitch is.Dr Snakeman said:Just about every scene in Scott Pilgirm vs. the World was my favorite... it was just so much fun. I could watch that movie ten times and still not be tired of it.
This image really sticks out, though. In a movie so chock-full of crazy awesome... stuff, this is a surprisingly normal-looking snapshot. It is (for lack of a better word) cute.
Also, it's got one of the many hilariously funny lines.
Not necessarily my favourite shot, but The Last Samurai is probably my favourite film of all time and every other frame in it is utterly beautiful as this one...
I would have gone for the shot of Kasumoto's son being gunned down as he charged across the bridge, one of the best sequences in the film...
One of dozens of eligible shots taken from the seminal cult classic Japanese offering, Battle Royale...
This shot, although less commonly touted than other still frames of the movie, still reminds me of just how much of a cinematic and visual touchstone The Matrix has become in the last 13 years of film making...
Say what you will about the intellectual integrity of Nolan's latest high budget blockbuster, but with Inception, he presents a masterclass in creating innovative visual effects which provide some truly spectacular sequences, such as this scene...
Some still frames are so good they made the front cover, as these classic shots demonstrate...
Shame on you if you don't know all of them...

It's hard to really see well (it was taken from a PSP's screen using an old cell phone camera) but it's from Kung Fu Hustle
I added the pwned, many years ago cause I thought the picture needed something. I was perhaps incorrect, but that's how it is

I don't care for this shot in the slightest. I think it comes from a number of things: the heavy handed metaphor that the setting represented, the look on Obi-Wans face and even the style. On the latter point, Obi-Wan is performing a parry against a cut to the high left side of his body. Fencing protocol developed over hundreds of years dictates that the correct parry is what is known as "prime", where the blade is inverted (the tip points down) and moved to the outside. The goal is to meet the enemy blade near the hilt of your weapon (ideally you want to catch the tip of his blade with the hilt of yours as it gives you the most leverage and, in effect, grants the person making the parry control of the attacker's blade). By contrast, here the blade is caught near the middle section meaning that Skywalker is actually the one in control of the action. Were he not an inconceivable dope, he was in a position to take Obi-Wan's blade out of line and simply murder him.GreatTeacherCAW said:TIE
