My vote: Con Air. My favorite film of 1997 and I still think is one of the best action films ever made. Speaking of borrowing elements, Nick Cage's character in Con Air is Cameron Poe. Oscar Isaac's pilot character in Star Wars is Poe Dameron. I don't think that is a coincidence.

James Rolfe, with your comment on quick cuts in films what is your take on the oner shot? What's the oner? It's when you get a long take, a minute or more, where the camera does not cut, the scene is just the one angle. Going to games for a moment there's a bit in Ground Zero where Snake tries to liberate his home base and it doesn't cut or jump, it's solely focused on him from the helicopter to the base being lost. What's you're...well, take on this?
