3 best camera move scenes?

There were three sequences in Children of Men which are shot in one view for a long period. One of them blood splats on the camera - not sure if it was planned or not.

I read that they actually were not all continuous shots but a few stitched together. Even so the amount going on in the rescue scene is amazing. I didn't clock it first time i watched but when you actually see how much is going on in one log shot it really is breathtaking.

The other one that springs to mind is the scene in The Bourne Ultimatum where he jumps from one roof into a balcony window and the camera follows him in - i think they used it in the last Bond movie also.
 
Lots of my favs have already been mentioned but I liked this one from Terminator Salvation


This one-shot take from Hanna blew me away...


And lest we forget, Bourne's window jump with cameran in tow...



Oddly, one tracking shot that sticks in my mind is from The Inbetweeners movie bizarrely. The opening shot has the camera high above suburbia, goes down a street while descending and goes around a house and ends up outside Jay's window, all in one shot. Dont know how they did that.
 
There's a really nice steadicam tracking shot near the end of Swingers where they go through the kitchen, mimicking the Goodfellas scene already posted, but I can't find it on YouTube :(

Nice though.
 
The last of the Mohicans - near the start where they are chasing the deer and the camera is sweeping down through the trees.

Hero - Jet Li and Donnie Yen fight scene in the rain is great camera work. Catching the slow rain falling. The whole film is a master piece in scenery IMO.


The Long Riders - the shootout was the best western part I had ever seen with slow moving bullet shots/explosions to slow mo horses jumping through buildings. Great camera work and from 1980.
