20 Coolest Tracking Shots In Movie History

18. Goodfellas

Oldboy Hallway
Warner Bros

Martin Scorsese is one of those rare directors who often employs grandiose camerawork in his movies without it ever feeling too show-offy or unnecessary - perhaps his finest moment when it comes to tracking shots came in Goodfellas.

The Copocabana shot as it's widely known starts off outside the club as Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) walks in with his wife and proceeds to take us on a sweeping tour of the venue - kitchen included - before settling with the characters at their table.

The name of the steadicam operator for this shot? You guessed it - Larry McConkey.
