The exquisite tracking shot at Dunkirk is easily on a level with the pan through the glass ceiling in "Citizen Kane", The opening of "Touch of Evil" (restored version), The last shot in Antonioni's "The Passenger", and the opening shot in Altman's "The Player". I would include the ballroom scene in Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons but, as everyone here knows, the studio butchered that masterpiece and only hints of the continuous nine minutes survive.
