Heard about the guy who fell off a skyscraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself: So far so good... so far so good..

La Haine (1995).

For anyone who hasn't seen La Haine (Hate), it's a vérité film that basically follows the day to day wanderings of 3 young men from the decayed and unhinged Parisian projects. Vinnie Cassel recieved all sorts of plaudits back in '95 for his depiction of Vinz, and although he is fantastic, it was Kassovitz' cinematography that stole the show for me. If you selected a Hollywood director at random and gave him $50,000,000 with a remit to make a scene cooler than the one above, he'd fail.
