  1. 2001: A Space Odyssey not being nominated - another position on Academy's list of shame :)

  2. The most memorable editing to me is when they cut to something unexpected, like in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Have you seen Daises (1966)? That has some unique editing too.

    1. 2001 is a great example of that. Another memorable one for me is the cut from the match to the desert in Lawrence of Arabia.

      No, but it looks interesting. I'll add it to my watchlist. Thanks for the suggestion!
