The scene where the expedition is walking down the mountain in Aguirre: the Wrath of God comes to mind.

Memento: "I'm running. Why am I running? I must be chasing that guy. No wait, he's chasing me."

Saving Private Ryan

Sunset Blvd: Starts with William Holden dead face down in the pool. Opening shot perspective is from the bottom of the pool looking up. However, it was actually shot by covering the bottom of the pool with a mirror and shooting the reflection from above.

The metal sign and Breakfast at Tiffany's do not belong in the same post.

It's not the metal sign, it's the Portnoy, and it has been appropriated for the fairyesque.
