Montage-maker Paul Proulx's work has been featured on Neatorama before, but I just couldn't resist myself again: Proulx has recently put together a 2-minute clip that features moments from his 100 favorite films. At first I didn't feel like this clip was particularly creative but as I watched it more, I realized that aside from the juxtaposition of similar beats/events/lines here, there's a rhythm to the way these moments are edited together...and I like it. What do you think?
Also, can you name all the films?
