You only get what you gif

Amazing Movie Gifs

The gif is a humble thing; an animated icon that's usually used to endlessly repeat the funny clip of the week, and to act as a snazzy avatar to impress all your friends on forums.

But Gus Mantle has decided to put a little more care and attention into creating some gifs, and has elevated it to a mini art form, with this series of incredibly detailed gifs of classic movie moments.

Ranging from obvious movements to the most subtle inflections, there's a whole range of them at his website, but we've picked 15 of the most iconic.

The Full Metal Jacket lads must be getting tired now.

Marc Chacksfield
Content Director

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
