What was the best shot in the movie for you?

It has been a while since I ve watched this movie. But one shot really stayed in my memory.
Its when She visits him in the cemetery and she tells him, she f...ed someone else and cant be with him anymore (and i think its just after he went to see the doctor to fix his "problem"), and the camera goes around Francesco in circles, while his brain just freezes...It has been done lots of times before, and after, but i think this was done the best of all times i remember this from movies. Also the lines were great there, and the acting was perfect.
Great movie.

That was a very good scene, really looked nice.

I also loved near the end when they are sat on what is effectively the edge of the world for them when it cuts between that and the snow globe.

A very good little known film.

Any tracking or crane shots across the graveyard were awesome..mostly because of the score accompanying it.

I also like the ossuary scene when they kiss with the material between them. I like the care given to the shot of her scarf blowing away.

There are plenty of others, the movie is really beautifully photographed.

I thought all of the zombies looked exceptional. I liked the bit where Gna had the girl's dead head in the television set, lol.

This film is brilliant. It makes a movie like The Evil Dead look crap in comparison.

As someone else said, I love the Rene Margitte-related scene when She is covered in red and they kiss.

But I also really love the ending:

(spoiler below)

When they realize there is no "world out there" and they are stuck, some rocks falling into the abyss and Gnaghi dies - I just love the whole atmosphere and the surroundings. Brilliant final scene.

Those shots on the relatively modern stairs were looking very cool too. Can't remember where it was, police station or hospital or something. I always like it when they shot staircases from above .

There are really SO many shots/scenes I LOVE in this movie...all like mini paintings.

Most of you have mentioned some great ones, but one of the standouts for me personally is when "she" leaves the ostuary and is by her husband's grave...she let's her hair down and the look (and slow zoom) on Francis's face is priceless...its like he's OVERWHELMED with her beauty! Then they finally kiss with the moonlight directly behind them! So awesome! I even created a wallpaper using the screenshot (which someone STOLE for an article, but I won't get into that). Its just such a strong moment.

There is a shot with Francesco (when he was speaking with Death, I believe, but I could be wrong on this one) standing in the graveyard, and the fallen angel-statue-wings look like they're his own.
