I don't have a favorite movie or a favorite book or favorite band. But I have a favorite time scaled video. It shows an owl. Make sure the quality is set to 1080p and you are in fullscreen mode, or you'll miss half the action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji_x8RU4zIo&NR=1

It's just an animal doing what it's doing, no post processing or dramatic cuts. Yet, watching all the details of what's happening in the short sequence amazes me every time I watch it. It's also the only thing I ever had on my screen that made my cat show a reaction (she treats it like a wall otherwise).

edit: Had conflated time lapse and slow motion. Fixed the text and will never come to Hackernews while having my mind filled with other work again. Ever.

While the owl is neat, slow motion is basically the opposite of time lapse

I'd call it more of a dual than an opposite. They're both showing you things you cannot see with the "naked eye" due to time limitations.
