Yeah, with a single line, a horizontal "filmstrip" model is better. But with a multi-row gallery, it isn't. This is the "tyranny of the OR" - one should not have to choose one way. I have 9 rows visible, so the one-row case is totally irrelevant to my daily use.
So I'd like to suggest filmstrip mode (horizontal scroll) when only one row visible, and gallery mode (vertical) for 2+.
I believe that both schemes are worthy depending on the situation. For example, in this idea post, I used the filmstrip model because it's packed into a unified main view. But that does not preclude offering a useful pop-up gallery for broad navigation thought a large set of shots.
Powerpoint has an example of this in it's Slide Sorter view:
