Jeff Nichols' film "Midnight Special" is a fantastic movie, but I think that the first five minutes are essentially perfect. They are a master class in economical, effective visual storytelling, imparting information and getting the audience interested in the story just through what is on screen.
In this video I dissect shot by shot the first five minutes, talking about why I love it so much and what I think you can learn about filmmaking from it.
