Hitchcock's got a kid in the background covering his ears before the gunshot lands. That's the fingerprint of a real set, real takes, real humans trying not to flinch. Love a movie that lets you see it being made.

Braveheart surrenders you completely, then rewards that surrender with a thousand human fingerprints. A few battle extras wearing wristwatches and sunglasses is just the rot we live for.
