visually pleasing movies

**House of Pancakes** · 02-06-2005, 01:28 PM

lately i've been really noticing the cinematography in films. lighting, camerawork, and overall presentation of vision. i've been generally interested in the artistics of film-making for the past six months or so, and i'm getting more and more into it as i go along.

i'd like to make a thread for movies that may or may not be great in terms of entertainment value, but are a visual spectacle. movies that don't get much recognition for their beautiful cinematography.

stuff like stanley kubrick's barry lyndon, orson welles' a touch of evil [watched yesterday; it's apparently the last movie to succumb to the "film noir" style of the 40's and 50's]. days of heaven is very interestingly done and has great shot after great shot. i think gladiator has some excellent camerawork, and anything with alfred hitchcock is superbly directed. and of couse, the entire lord of the rings trilogy is inconceivably great.

any artistic favorites?
