20 Coolest Tracking Shots In Movie History
20. Snake Eyes
Snake Eyes might not be Brian De Palma's best effort (at best it's a missed opportunity for an effective dark and twisted thriller, at worst a plain old s**tty movie) but there's no denying it has moments of visual flare and De Palma's trademark long tracking shots.

With Snake Eyes the tracking shot hits us at the beginning of the movie, introducing Nicolas Cage's character as he walks around a huge convention centre talking to a variety of characters. It's a beast of a shot running at over 12 minutes, a real endurance test for Steadicam operator Larry McConkey.
