Another video editing question

People were so helpful yesterday, and I'm hoping to impose again with another question about the farewell video T is making for my s-i-l.

We're trying to find footage of film melting away to white/breaking/going offscreen, to transistion from the soppy beginning to the upbeat main portion of the video. I can totally picture seeing this sort of thing being used in a heap of shows/movies, but can't think specifically of any that I'd have to be able to rip.

Can anyone think of anywhere I could get footage like that, either online or from a movie/show?

I really appreciate the help :)
