Bit of an odd request I know, but a friend is looking for movies that feature the use of still shots, like in some films it might show someone take a photograph and then go on to show the photo fullscreen.

I know I have seen stills being used in films before, I just can't think of any off the top of my head!

Any ideas PH? confused

One Hour Photo with Robin Williams and Memento spring to mind, if I know what you're actually after. confused

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Hello Dolly (opening scene is shown as a sepia print initially and then comes to life in full colour)

Meet Me in St Louis (each section starts with a photo album picture).

La Jetée - directed by Chris Marker ( 1962 ) is probably one of the most noted of that genre.

It's a science fiction short film, constructed almost entirely from B/W stills. A masterpiece, and very influential.

RED uses postcards that merge into the movie.

Many police type movies use stills of the stakeout subject...cue motor drive sound effects.
