Bad ones: the sounds "heard" in space in abaout every star wars movie
Good ones: the vapor patterns behind the wings in "Top Gun" when they make
high powered climbs (vacuum condensation from wing lift), g-loc or g force
induced loss of consciousness.
Best one: Buckaroo Banzai-using a laser to give mass to virtual photons so
they could pass through a mountain, and into a new dimension.

>>I am also looking for scenes which could be used in teaching specific
