I just wish there were more movies like Birdman because I can't watch it again.

What stuff do you want more of? If you're talking about the cinematography there's been a few movies done in one take: Russian Ark and Victoria off the top of my head.

Hardcore Henry attempts to do it as well, though you can definitely tell where the cuts are if you pay attention

You can catch the cuts in Birdman too. Russian Ark and Victoria both did it for real, though I'd argue that's just bragging rights versus the actual effect the unbroken flow -- faked or not -- has on the film's emotional resonance.

Hitchcock's Rope did it in 1948 when the pre-digital period made it literally impossible. He used some creative masking to hide the cuts in order to create a seamless flow, though it also uses a single setting in order to achieve a more live theater vibe.

Also, it's not one seamless take, but Mikhail Kalatozov's work is visually *stunning* and uses extensive long takes that make you question how the hell he possibly achieved them (a lot of pullies and wires is the answer). Soy Cuba in particular, but The Cranes Are Flying is equally phenomenal.

Thanks for the suggestions, I should have been more specific. I'm talking about the snappiness of the dialog and quick pace as oppose to the long cuts. Although long cuts can definitely be an element of this. Like the opening pan of Ricks, hell the entire Casablanca. Gilmore Girls lol.

Have you heard of this guy Quentin Tarantino?
