and the Terminator 2 battlefield scene, it's just too obvious that the "distance" is back-projected ( apologies for being so damned anal )
My favorite scene is in Midnight Cowboy when Hoffmans character picks a guys pocket as he's getting into a NY cab, strikes a match on the cabs roof to light a cigarette butt, then flips the bird as the taxi drives off. It's little more than an eye-blink long but it's a gem and so in-character for the part he plays
Like watching a professional athlete score a perfect "10" in an Olympic event

it's a great back projection though - NuWave 06:22:12 01/30/06 (1)
better than the one in T1 where the semi tanker explodes. I'm guessing they've gotten better at that effect in recent years.

  Yeah, but there's a HUGE difference in budget between these two films; I'm sure no-one was expecting T1 to become as big as it did
  It certainly put James Cameron on the map
