visually pleasing movies
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?

Loads more as well... I just don't feel like thinking at this particular moment.

Yeah Hero is pretty sexy looking despite the fact that it is terrible.

Few others:

City of God
A Clockwork Orange
Dolls
Mulholland Dr.
Run Lola Run

Amelie is actually shot real amazing, even though I don't like the movie. Same with Requiem for a Dream.

Oldboy.

It has some pretty neat cinematography and one AMAZING fight scene which is just goes on without any cuts for a fairly lengthy amount of time.

I could not stand Mulholland Dr. at all. I don't know why. I am a fan of Lynch, I got the movie but I just hated it. Oldboy is a good movie, so good I think I'll watch it now.

Punch-Drunk Love.

I'm not 100% on what you're going for but it was really really really well made and "visually pleasing."

How could I forget:

The Thin Red Line. Beautiful film. Then again, it's Terrence Malick, what'd you expect?

Hugely underrated film as well.
