Re: Best film scene transition. Your call.
****, I was just gonna post that.
But, yes, that scene is the best example.
Be sure to check out the 'Berg's analysis on it, too.

Re: Best film scene transition. Your call.
Hmmmm... had to think about this.
One that comes to mind- "Firefox" (Clint Eastwood, 1982)-
Pavel Upenskoy (the underground spy) is about to be captured by Soviet guards in the forest surrounding the airbase. He doesn't have the strength to flee, and knows he is a dead man so he slowly raises his pistol to his temple.
The next scene is an extreme close up of the Firefox's engines flying away from the camera- the "sonic boom" sound effect mimics what would have been the fatal gunshot to Pavel. So it is as if we heard the gunshot without being subjected to seeing it.

Another that I thought of was Silence of the Lambs when the FBI go to raid the house.

Re: Best film scene transition. Your call.
Im probably gonna get a lot of grief for this, but all of the transitions in Speed Racer are pretty awesome.
Most didnt like the movie but I did. You got to at least give it up for the cool transitions.
The Wachowskis never let me down!

BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI... Donaldson (in POW camp) looks up at the sun....cut to sun and then Shears walks into frame with sun giving him a ******-like "halol" .
CITIZEN KANE...when they end the "News on the March" and cut to a screening room projector beam. Actually any number of transitions from this film...

The whole movie is filled with brilliant transitions. The opening sequence alone contains a dizzying number of same-shot scene changes. Love it.

Re: Best film scene transition. Your call.
Lots of good ones here, I'll add if I can:
Platoon:
The guys are cleaning out and burning the waste from under the outhouses. David Keith is smoking a joint and exahales into the camera...the sun is burned in first over his mouth before the rest of the scene changes. Simple, but cool.

Re: Best film scene transition. Your call.
This is kinda a 180 but the movie "Children of Men" dealt with transitions in a most brilliant way. They got rid of a lot of them, lol. I only noticed it on the second viewing when a lot of the action shots were just one continuous take. I think the longest being a 7.5 minute run through a raging battlefield.
Then again, Aleksandr Sokurov did his entire move "Russian Ark" in one take. Just thought i'd add to the discussion of different ways to handle a "transition."

The transition in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when Indy finds the spot to dig and throws down his shovel that fades into the silhouette of everyone digging and him putting on his hat....it's just one of those moments in the GL/SS partnership that just work.
I was also a fan of the end of the drinking scene in "Jaws," where Brody gets his gun out and in the background is a shooting-star. It goes to the shot of the Orca, with another shooting-star in the background. I know the second one was added in, and I am glad they did, because it punctuates the scene so well.
