In Poor Pretty Eddie, Eddie takes Liz to a dam so she can take publicity photos of him against the waterfall.

A shot like this occurs in The War Of The Worlds (1953), when the scientists are testing the Martian probe viewer device.

Other shots where they couldn't be placed use wideangle lenses. The Truman Show uses these to give the effect of cameras hidden in the environment.Just about every scene in Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme uses it.It works beautifully for its intended purpose, but when used for close-ups inside buildings. The entirety of How the West Was Won was shot through two paired fisheye lenses, a purposeful choice by director John Ford to show the open, sweeping landscape of the West.This was a problem because he was a pilot. The film Hot Shots! had a character afflicted with 'Walleye Vision' that made the world appear this way.The Favourite: Makes frequent use of fish eye to heighten the emotions of the characters.Worrell to make Ernest look all the more obnoxious. Brazil uses the wide-angle lens in several scenes to underpin the surreal and bizarre atmosphere of the movie.Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance): There is a mild fish eye effect in some close-up shots of individuals, for example when Sam is telling Riggan what's wrong with him.Disney's Beauty and the Beast has one of these with Gaston through a peephole.His POV shots are shot through one as well.

His infamous glowing red eye was in fact made with a real fisheye lens.

HAL 9000's POV shots in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Action sports Films, such as skateboarding, used fisheye lens to capture the ride tricks while still be able to see the surroundings and the riders themselves in the action.

The figure out how to exploit it by painting their clothes to match the walls and hiding in the distorted areas of the camera. During the Reaper Arc, the students are imprisoned in a cage with explosive collars while being monitored with a fish-eye lense camera. The boys get in on it, repeatedly upgrading the tank and eventually realizing it's standard lense doesn't help them navigate it better, but Okajima figures out what they need is a fish-eye lense. After Itona's Heelв‰Їace Turn he creates a miniature tank to use for assassination.

Used multiple times in Assassination Classroom.

Used during a short skateboarding sequence in K, complete with the requisite low down angle and tracking to make it look like a skate video.

Becomes increasingly frequent in Steins Gate with Okarin's close-ups whenever something particularly traumatic happens or he gets closer to snapping from stress.

Used a few times on Kyubey in later episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

She didn't, but it was terrifying nonetheless.

Invoked for a moment in Magical Pokaan, to make you think Aiko had snapped.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha was quite infamous for using the fish-eye effect on the most mundane of scenes, such as, for example, when a character is standing besides a fridge.

In Digimon Tamers this is used both to enhance the idea that the world shown is a mindscape (When focused on a character) or that the characters are alone (when focused elsewhere).

In Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex, the Major and Batou are shown this way while they're piloting Tachikomas.

Particularly when there's segments of exposition being discussed between characters.

This shows up rather frequently in One Piece during the Water 7 Arc.

It's part of the Signature Style of Hideaki Anno.

There's a shot in episode 11 that's used to emphasize the implied menace of a locked door AND to visualize Asuka's self-centeredness.

They're used in real-life scenes as well.

Neon Genesis Evangelion did this often in Shinji's internal sequences, to heighten the sense of isolation around him.

The manga often uses this for the traditional effect, or a lesser version for particularly intense full-page spreads ( this is probably the best example).

Mostly it's done just to show off, it seems, as many of the shots are completely gratuitous.

Done a couple times in Naruto when a character is going crazy or about to succumb to his dark side (or both).

The first two Patlabor films have this on occasion, usually (but not always) when a character is getting reamed for screwing up.

The same gag is used on Yue in Negima, as both were made by the same studio - one of the OAVs opened a scene with a fish-eye view of Nodoka as she talks to someone, then pulls back to show it was the reflection off Yue's Forehead of Doom.

Pani Poni Dash! used this effect to emphasize Miyako's gigantic forehead.
