What movies have some very good match cuts (whether it be action match, graphical match, our sound match) that I can check out?

The best example I can think of is 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as Un Chien Andalou. For action at least. What else?

Second only to Space Odyssey.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Really they're used quite often and are encouraged as a part of film theory.  Most matches are motion.

Michel Gondry is fucking terrific with them.  I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine since the theater, but I imagine it has a lot of them.  His music videos certainly have great examples.

garden state has a few. from someone laughing to crying to exchanging shit. boondock saints also, from brothers being gay, then straight, till a totally diff character being gay.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

does the sex scene in monty python's flying circus where there's a montage of phallic stuff counts?
