Although somewhat offtopic, some of you may be interested in a spectacularly filmed sunrise sequence from an old New Zealand post-apocalyptic sci-fi film which has recently been uploaded to Internet Archive
https://archive.org/details/the.-quiet.-earth.-1985.-remastered.-1080p.-blu-ray.-x-264-amiable
The sequence, with the hint of a green flash at the very start, is from 0:00:09 to 0:02:56.
In the hope of finding more similar material online, I have scoured the internet but so far found nothing comparable.
Sure, there are plenty of sunrise or sunset sequences online but they are either wide angle views with a minuscule solar disk or speeded up ('time lapse') views, i.e. nowhere in length near the 2+ minutes that it takes
for a proper sunrise or sunset.

If anyone knows of similar online sunrise or sunset sequences filmed in real time above a maritime (or flat desert) horizon with a solar disk filling a substantial part of the screen, please let me know.
