Movies almost always feature a shot in which a character has his back to the camera, and this supercut shows some of the finest examples.
This is brilliantly done, but I think we may have hit the saturation point for supercuts. I thought the whole point was to either show something awesome, Game of Thrones swearing, or more common than you’d think, pizza. I can’t think of a movie without a back-to-camera shot. They aren’t all this dramatic, but with the exception of POV, it’s the only way to see what the character sees.
