That scene from Lawrence of Arabia was absolutely magic. Done in a single, unbroken take, David Lean had personally paced off the distance when Sharif began his approach so that he would start out invisible only to slowly approach. I've rerun that scene multiple times and I can't decide just where he actually becomes visible. The other great scene, which is probably more editing than filming, is near its beginning where Lawrence blows out the match where the film immediately cuts to the sun rising out of the desert sand dune landscape. Just awesome.
