Does anybody know of a film I could listen to, with dialog from an NTG-3?

I am on the cusp of buying an NTG-3... with my finger pretty much hovering over buy.

Before I do, I'd really like to hear a decent example of it being used in a film setting. I know by the time it's gone through post processes, you might not even distinguish it anymore from other mics, but that isn't important to me. I'm curious what a good production team can make this mic sound like- I want to hear it shine. From what I've heard so far scouring both vimeo and youtube for examples from short films, nothing has sounded quite inspiring. But I understand that it's pretty much 90% the talent that records, mixes and edits the audio.

So with that said, anybody have an example they could point me to, where it's been used? Ideally I would love to hear it being used in a film that's actually been distributed (DVD / Netflix etc), but that's not really important- whatever films online or shorts that have made good use of this mic that I could check out, would really be welcome.
 
While this isn't a film, have you heard this:


It's RAW audio from the microphones. I don't believe any processing was done to it. Yes you are right, by the time a NTG-3 or other production mic finishes post production, it's probably been through so many signal paths...

EDIT: I also might add that this video is what really really sold me on the NTG-3. I was on the edge about getting the 416 for a while, but after seeing/hearing the above, I went for the NTG-3, especially since I found it for $350 :)
 
Thanks. Yeah I spotted this video as well- this and a few other comparisons were what actually prompted me to go with the NTG-3. It just seems aside from reviewers that obviously handle this kind of equipment day-in and day-out, that it's hard to find a good example within creative use where it sounds as good, even after editing.

Regardless, I bit the bullet and bought one last night for $525. I thought that was a good deal, but $350? That's insane... would love to get in on that ha.
 
For ultimate budget outdoor mic (and even many indoors!) -
-this is the one.
