Need some help with Flashbacks.

I have been itching my brain trying to figure out a creative way to teach Writing with Flashbacks. This is a standard in the state of GA for 5th grade. I have some great book examples of flashbacks in books but I really wanted to show my students a visual image from a movie or maybe even a commercial clip. If you can think of a flashback in a movie or any other type of media comment and let me know!

I know there are a number of flashbacks in the movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson. All of them center around the wreck that killed his wife and caused him to lose faith in God.

...I can't believe I didn't think of LOST first, but half the show centers around flashbacks.

I am assuming that is my genius husband commenting about Signs and Lost, neither of which I believe would be appropriate for 5th graders...tsk tsk. I was thinking more The Lion King when Simba flashes back to his father dying and/or his uncle telling him to run away. Hope that helps?

old "doug" cartoons...he always starts out every episode writing in his journal and then flashing back to the events of his day...
