Surprised the forum doesn't have a thread on this.
This topic is so big and has been discussed for so many decades it's hard to know where to start really, so I will keep it simple and let the thread develop from there. Most people have obviously seen the home movie made by Abraham Zapruder which shows the assassination:
It's strange that Zapruder started filming the motorcycles which precede the presidential limo from minute 0:00 to minute 0:08, then there is cut in the film, and it starts again when the limo is already on Elm street. According to other accounts I read Zapruder claimed he never stopped filming. Also numerous witnesses saw the presidential limo make a full stop for at least 1 to 3 seconds after the 1st or 2nd shot that hit Kennedy, contradicting the film. Apparently, this full stop in the limo made the final fatal head shot possible. There are those who claim the Zapruder film has been tampered and manipulated with. Although it was filmed in November 1963, the american public did not see it until 12 years later in March 1975 on the TV show Good Night America (hosted by Geraldo Rivera).
Also, most people do not know there are actually several films made on that day.
According to wikipedia:
If you watch them on youtube, ALL of these films listed above have missing frames in critical moments.
One of the most interesting to me is the film by Tina Towner, which is the only one showing the presidential limo turning from Houston street onto Elm Street.
You will notice that there is a cut in the film between seconds 5 and 6 where frames have been removed.
According to some reserachers, a first gunshot (that missed) was already fired at that moment. Other people say, there was proof that Lee Harvey Oswald can be seen standing in the doorway of the book depository watching the motorcade proving he could not be on the 6th floor.

...a total of 32 photographers were in Dealey Plaza. Amateur movies taken by Orville Nix, Marie Muchmore (shown on television in New York on November 26, 1963), and photographer Charles Bronson captured the fatal shot, although at a greater distance than Zapruder. Other motion picture films were taken in Dealey Plaza at or around the time of the shooting by Robert Hughes, F. Mark Bell, Elsie Dorman, John Martin Jr., Patsy Paschall, Tina Towner, James Underwood, Dave Wiegman, Mal Couch, Thomas Atkins, and an unknown woman in a blue dress on the south side of Elm Street.
