Some of my favorites include the “Ax Gang” montage from Kung Fu Hustle (Stephen 
Chow, 2005): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvCa6FH9nro 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvCa6FH9nro>.

Pretty much every montage from Citizen Kane is a master class in how it’s done: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfl2M8B9WA8 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfl2M8B9WA8> and 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=32&v=pKS_fSDP3-E&feature=emb_logo 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=32&v=pKS_fSDP3-E&feature=emb_logo>.

Not the most memorable film, but Notting Hill has a single-shot montage that’s 
interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_BXD_ONQ8

In his later films (but still pre-Morrissey), Warhol did some things with 
temporality that I would call variants of montage, created by rapidly stopping 
and starting the camera, and sort of “sampling” some banal activity that, in 
earlier years, he might have shown in its entirety. Early scenes in I, a Man 
are exemplary of this: https://archive.org/details/1967andywarholiamaniaman

And to jump on Chris Freeman’s bandwagon:

<https://southpark.cc.com/clips/153324/sports-training-montage>. The kids used 
to love this, but these days South Park might not be so hip (even if you tell 
them that the character Stan is named after Stan Brakhage). 

Echoes of Silence has a terrific sequence, beginning with still frames then 
becoming “animated” again, at about the midpoint:

Finally, Edgar Wright is a modern montage master. Shaun of the Dead and Hot 
Fuzz are standouts.
