There's something about a well shot movie that often enthrals me more than a story or character ever could, so let's have a thread about movies that just look fucking amazing.

Barry Lyndon:

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford:

Days of Heaven:

Stalker:

In the Mood for Love:

Harakiri:

There's so many, but I'll leave it at that for now. Post your favourites, GAF.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Look at how real it looks, and the sound at the theatre...

It was like the Enterprise was in front of me!

 

[Quan]

There will be blood

 

[DOWN]

Joe Wright movies

Melancholia

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1

 

[EGM1966]

Subscribed for the nice pictures (which I'm rubbish at adding).

Would like to see some Blade Runner and Lawrence of Arabia. Tree of Life was also pretty damn gorgeous. The Fountain too.

 

[Moppeh]

Definitely Barry Lyndon. The period accurate mise en scene combined with the lush and often painterly cinematography make it an absolute delight to the eyes.

Skyfall

I really like Refn's style (it seems pretty consistent between cinematographers).

 

[LQX]

Gone with the Wind. I watched it a few months ago on my new HDTV with smooth motion and was blown away. For a movie 100 years old it looks better than 90% of movies filmed just 10 years ago.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Black Hawk Down
Casablanca
Kingdom of Heaven
The Fountain
Sin City

 

[EightBitNate]

Alien
Her
Zodiac
Gone Girl
Drive

Interstellar looked really good I thought.

 

[Extra Sauce]

The Fly

 

[Maklershed]

The Third Man I think has an amazing visual style. It seems to involve a lot of spirals, arches, and circles. And that zither music to go with it is quite interesting.

Also, I love the look of The Assassination of Jesse James. The shots through the imperfect glass in particular do something for me.

 

[RustyNails]

Skyfall was balls

 

[Livingskeletons]

Lawrence of Arabia.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Skyfall:

Roger Deakins is a god-tier cinematographer
EDIT: Beaten and co-signed

 

[RustyNails]

Lawrence of Arabia.

Only movie in our cinema that truly captured what a desert is, and all that it entails. I hope theres a class in film school that just focuses on Lawrence of Arabia and it's photography.

The scene where Lawrence walks on top of the Turkish train, while the natives below are celebrating. Chills.

 

[Syriel]

It was a crap movie, but had very pretty visuals.

Jupiter Ascending:

 

[CorrisD]

Skyfall was balls

It's a damn shame they couldn't get him back for Spectre, Skyfall looked simply amazing at times.

 

[Ahasverus]

Watchmen and 300 are both gorgeus.

 

[Bold One]

The Tree of Life should have been the first post

 

[Why would you do that?]

I know you said "well shot" in the description, but after seeing the thread title, all I could think of was:

Redline

So, I got this on BluRay from GAFfer mechashiva as part of his GAF Secret Santa package to me. I've been wanted to watch it for a while, and well...

HOLY

MOTHER

OF

GOD

 

[Aurongel]

It's a damn shame they couldn't get him back for Spectre, Skyfall looked simply amazing at times.

It's not something I find that disheartening considering Hoyte Van Hoytema is replacing him for Spectre:

Interstellar is a fucking sublime looking film and the first I've seen to use IMAX cameras as GoPros.

 

[Xyrmellon]

It was all cgi but Speed Racer.

 

[Fantastical]

Skyfall was balls

I came into this thread for beautiful Skyfall pics!

 

[Nokterian]

Interstellar looked really good I thought.

Need to wait for the blu ray but yeah it looked so good when i was in the theater.

 

[Abounder]

Empire of the Sun

 

[Trago]

Blade Runner

Blade Runner

 

[xbhaskarx]

Roger Deakins the thread.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

It's a damn shame they couldn't get him back for Spectre, Skyfall looked simply amazing at times.

Hoyte van Hoytema who did the cinematography for "Interstellar" is filling in, so I have faith that he can make something that visually looks at the very least better looking than "Quantum of Solace"

When is Intersteller out on Bluray again?

 

[Haly]

Hero was gorgeous:

 

[Floridian]

I love Tron Legacy's atmosphere.

 

[sixteen-bit]

2001 looked pretty tight on blu

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1

I'm detecting a theme here.

 

[Metaroo]

Birdman was gorgeous in spots.

 

[Guzim]

[Kobe24]

I loved The Dark Knight's blue scale

The Matrix green scale is amazing as well

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I'm sure some on GAF have a bunch of issues with this movie, but..

Gravity:

Is a beautifully shot movie

 

[Monocle]

A recent one: Grand Budapest Hotel.

 

[liliththepale]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is fantastic

 

[quesalupa]

The new Cinderella was REALLY pretty. Kinda wish they would have put out a high frame rate version of it.

 

[rjc571]

It's a tie between every Terrence Malick movie.

 

[Blargonaut]

I loved Apocalypto.

Such a badass movie.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

 

[Virus]

Enter The Void

 

[crazy monkey]

Blade Runner

Blade Runner

This was so captivating and still is. just perfectly beautiful movie.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

The Fall...especially to the backdrop of Massive Attack's Paradise Circus.
