Movies with long tracking shots/long uninterrupted shots

1. Touch of Evil - The opening sequence.
2. The Protector - Nightclub fight scene
3. I Am Cuba - [funeral procession](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjuLkJ4m-mc)

An impressive shot because it transitions between street views and aerial views.
