Watch This Beautifully Made Montage Shows 100 Years of Film History in 100 Shots

100 years of film history seems like a really long time, but what happens when it’s squeezed in a 6-minute timeframe? Well, the answer to this question is provided by Baltimore-based filmmaker Jacob T. Swinney. He managed to create a beautiful montage that includes 100 iconic movies and some of their most captivating scenes. Some of the titles are: Frankenstein, Casablanca, Sherlock Junior, Broken Blossoms, Psycho, A Nightmare in Elm Street, The Breakfast Club, Jurassic Park, The Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, and so on. 

Jacob T. Swinney is also famous for his other movie supercuts, such as First and Final Frames and Iconic Shots by Steven Spielberg.

Here’s what he has to say about his latest piece of creativity:

A journey through the past 100 years of cinema–the most memorable shot from each year (in my opinion). While many of these shots are the most recognizable in film history, others are equally iconic in their own right. For example, some shots pioneered a style or defined a genre, while others tested the boundaries of censorship and filmgoer expectations. If anything, I want this video to be a reminder as to why we all love cinema so much.
