What movies use a lot of slow motion shots?

I'm trying to find movies with a bunch of slow motion shots. I know the Matrix trilogy is full of 'em. I'm trying to think outside the box. I also know Lord of the Rings has a lot, as does Bad Boys 2. Any other suggestions?What movies use a lot of slow motion shots?I've heard many reasons why movies and TV shows have slow motion, and 90% of those reasons stink. I know that any artsy-fartsy film school flunkeys who read this will soil themselves and start crying, but that's their problem.







Just to be clear, I'm not talking about using high-speed film to shoot models and small explosions to make them look real (that's great stuff), I'm talking about things such as running, fighting, driving, and stunts of any kind.







To me, faster is more impressive. For example, a noisy, fast, fairly close-up view of a violent crash of some kind is more startling and terrifying than some slow motion crash that takes so long you could go for popcorn and come back and the crash still isn't over.What movies use a lot of slow motion shots?
Chariots of FireWhat movies use a lot of slow motion shots?Rock n Rolla

Wanted.

Sherlock homes.(most fighting scenes in that movie have them)

You can find slow motion shots in most of guy ritchie's movies.



if anything else comes to mind..i will add later..What movies use a lot of slow motion shots?
Just pick any movie in the action category and the odds are good.



Try a Bruce Lee movie.What movies use a lot of slow motion shots?What about The Deserter- a man jumping into a river seems sucked down by the slowly splashing waves. Also Face/Off for movements of a flock of flying pigeons. The old film Seven Samurai also has some. Look for Sam Peckinpah movies as he is a fan of SM.

Can't forget the last scene in Blackadder with everyone getting killed in the First World War- it's on Youtube if you want to have a look.
