Every talks about the unforgettable opening scene of Ghost Ship, but there's another scene, shot in fast motion, that's (to me) just as jaw-dropping. It shows a series of crimes -- murders, double-crosses, triple-crosses -- and it's done in fast motion, so that you're not supposed to be able to track the shifting alliances of who's betraying who. All you can glean is that the number of people alive on the boat is dropping every few seconds, all by desperate human greed.

Rob Reiner once said he wished there had been a role for his actor friend Christopher Guest in The Princess Bride, forgetting that Guest was in it, as Count Rugen, the Six-Fingered Man. Guest so disappeared into the role as a sociopathic coward that the film's DIRECTOR forgot he was in it!
