Hi anons. Could you list some examples of films with bad pacing and some with good pacing (Bonus points for reasoning)? It is something I'd like to think about more.

Flight
They blow their load in the beginning with the incident and the rest is just a slow burn of Denzel drinking.
>good
Sully
They move back and forth from Sully in the current moment dealing with the hearing and in the past to the incident, spread over time. But they do this in a way that isn't jarring. And they save the actual load for the end.

Harry potter are paced great besides 4 and 8. 4 is ok tho.
Fellowship is paced great but TTT and ROTK aren't. Though TTT still works.
Moonlight as good as it was in a bad year was badly paced. Silence was paced well it was just really long.
Can someone explain why Mad Max Fury Road flies in the face of pacing logic and works perfectly?

Flagrant, Inexcusably Bad Pacing:
>Kubo and the Two Strings
They were so close. Just a few more months hashing out the script and it could have been stellar. What a mess.
top tier pacing: shaun of the dead.
good pacing: pacific rim.

Whiplash is one of those rare movies with perfect pacing. Like Chinatown.

I can't, actually, but I do agree that it works perfectly somehow.

bad pacing = too fast or too slow, or inappropriate for the sequence/scene. it's all about how action and dialogue are edited to affect a certain mood, effect, etc. and give ample time for the material to breathe and move organically.
see Man of Steel for a film with horrible pacing throughout.
Empire of the Sun is a great example of a film with objectively perfect pacing.
