I'm a sucker for one long tracking-shots. Every time I watch a movie, I get giddy when I notice an uninterrupted single take. Yes, some shots do have hidden cuts, but I still admire how they filmed it and tried to do it on one take.
It's a spectacular gimmick and it often enhance my viewing pleasure. Sudden cuts/edits can ruin a scene, that's why I always prefer unbroken camera shots (like how M. Night Shyamalan or Alfonso Cuáron do with their films).
Game of Thrones have a handful of them, but these are my personal favorites. Let me know which long take is your favorite or the ones I missed.
PS: I actually love Arya's single shot with the mother and daughter (The Bells episode), but I placed it on the honorable mentions so I can bookend it in this video.
