i thought the editing in Ford v Ferrari and Top Gun Maverick made the whole movies.
i guess i more keenly observe the editing in action movies, because the first thing that comes to mind is Mad Max Fury Road. if you want to learn exactly what a difference good editing/composition makes in an action scene, study Fury Road.
this video demonstrates it well.

the key to action scenes is clarity. since there are so many quick cuts in an action scene, if your eyes are ever searching for what they're supposed to be looking at, the scene will quickly turn into a jumble. Fury Road was storyboarded and executed perfectly. with every shot, your eye follows the action, then theres a cut, and in the next cut, the action is always centered on the exact spot your eye was already looking at. it's done astoundingly well.
theres a lot of different facets to editing; action scenes are only one kind. but once you see what they did here with Fury Road, i think you'll never look at action movies the same way again

If looking for a film with unconventional editing which fits the Halloween season, The Cremator (1969) from Juraj Herz may fit the bill as well.
