A Selection of the Ten Best Edited Sequences of All-Time

Obviously to attempt to list the ten best edited sequences of all-time is a fool’s errand so let’s just consider the following video, excellently compiled and discussed by the CineFix crew, to be a presentation of some of the best edited sequences so as to not start a slew of “you forgot” comments.

I, for one, could never begin to even remember all the best edited sequences in cinema’s long history, which is perhaps why CineFix’s ten selections are among the most popular and undoubtedly the most highly influential and talked about of all-time from Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey, a pair from Alfred Hitchcock, another pair from Francis Ford Coppola including The Godfather and, obviously, Sergei M. Eisenstein‘s Battleship Potemkin.

For my money I’d add The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Citizen Kane and a personal favorite, Godard’s Breathless as I feel the editing in that film gives it so much life you could hardly pick just one scene. I’m sure you have others that come immediately to mind, so watch the video below and share your favorites in the comments.
