I don't understand why people are posting all these foreign movies.

Lethal Weapon 2.

 

[EightBitNate]

Isn't there already a thread exactly like this?

Sorry if someone already asked.

Lethal Weapon 2.

What's there to understand? Are they not movies? Can't they be beautiful?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

They're not american though

 

[JordanN]

Almost anything by Pixar.

Edit: For those wondering the names:
1. Toy Story 2
2. The Incredibles
3. Brave

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Op himself quoted foreign movies. Thought it was a thread just on beautiful films, not necessarily American.

Yeah, there is one very similar. It's a travesty.

 

[revolverjgw]

Needs more Night of the Hunter

I think it's just gentle mocking Charles, I wouldn't worry about it!

 

[Mariolee]

Is this Toy Story 2? I don't remember it looking that good.

 

[Rubbish King]

I'll have what this guys smoking

 

[JordanN]

Yes.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I think it's just gentle mocking Charles, I wouldn't worry about it!

Yeah lol, I suck at noticing that sometimes.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yeah, I know. The image I linked to is from Seven Samurai though. Click on the text that says "Seven Samurai spoilers."

Gotcha. I agree on both accounts though. The tracking shot of the forest slaughter is beautiful.

 

[Beaulieu]

I'm an uncultured cinema pleb, so I'm not sure if I'm "allowed" to nominate it (because of CGI stuff), but The Fall had some stunning scenes.

I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to mention Lawrence of Arabia while I'm here, too.

Director says that there is no CGI in the fall.

 

[Borgnine]

You wouldn't know what movie it's from, just forget it.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Some of my favourite


Emmanuel Lubeski:
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Sleepy Hollow
The New World
Children of Men
Ali

Man, I hope it is just because you have not seen it, but Lubezki's best work is on A Little Princess. I saw that movie about 15 times in the theater back in the late nineties. Sublime.

 

[Neo Child]

not a film but tv series - Skins, like series 3-6, beautiful cinematography, which is good cause by series 6 it's just teens smoking Nd crying

 

[Enco]

The Thin Red Line

Most beautiful film I've ever seen.

So many good shots I couldn't find.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

If you are talking TV, I'm going to throw Deadwood in there.

 

[penny_wise]

 

[Berto]

Pierrot le Fou

Dat Anna Karina.

 

[Hystzen]

A lot my choices been said but if CGI is fair then

Casshern

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i--UUeGTMvo Cant seem fight any really HQ pics so post a part, the movie also turns B&W for about a quarter of it when they hide in a iradiated area


Skyfall last film that seen great use the whole Hong Kong skyscraper part

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Sam Mendes has a fantastic eye.

Yep, a fantastic eye.

 

[Wilester]

Collateral

And I mean it. Those shots with the empty streets and metro, the coyote and a few other moments.

I did a CTRL+F for Collateral expecting disappointment. Thank you.

 

[Trin]

Since The Fall, Amelie, and Pan's Labyrinth have already been mentioned, I'm going with an old favorite:

Pride & Prejudice

 

[Messofanego]

If you are talking TV, I'm going to throw Deadwood in there.

If we're talking TV, Breaking Bad takes it!

The cinematography of Breaking Bad Season 5.1

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Collateral

And I mean it. Those shots with the empty streets and metro, the coyote and a few other moments.

This makes me think of this Collateral image I found on deviantart; a guy took a photo of the LA skyline and then later realized it was one of the shots in the movie:

 

[Metroid-Squadron]

Sucker Punch

[lastflowers]

Some more of The Master:

 

[AAK]

Mortal Kombat

Spirited Away

Ong Bak

 

[Minus_Me]

I've always enjoyed the simplicity of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. Gives the film a very odd surreal quality.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

If we're talking TV, Breaking Bad takes it!

Breaking Bad has brilliant cinematography, but Boardwalk takes it easily.

 

[Timo]

You wouldn't know what movie it's from, just forget it.

Chinatown bro.

 

[Tashi]

Recent scene for me but damn I got serious goosebumps both times I saw it.

Django Unchained:

"Now let's see if you'll break eggs again"

*Django walks up, camera behind him. He turns*

"John Riddle!"

*Riddle turns around in awe*

*Django standing there in the blue outfit, camera is low and slowly sweeping closer and up*

Fuck me I love that scene. Those horns too. Damn man. That shot of Django just standing there is amazing. Looks like a super hero. People laughed at the crazy outfit he picked out and minutes later he looks like the biggest badass. Fucking amazing

 

[Spectrum128]

A little more Leone is necessary methinks:
Once Upon a time in the West

 

[GhaleonEB]

Edit, well last update to Photobucket killed it for my browser. So nevermind, can't rehost.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Sucker Punch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSG-6xc-T4U

Good choice.

I love that movie! I know it's actually rubbish, but it's so enjoyable, and yes, super stylish.

 

[Zampano]

On phone so no images but Antichrist is stunning to look at. Anthony Dod Mantle.

Horrid, viscious film though.

 

[Staccat0]

cinematography is way overrated

Story first please.

You'd think but, in execution... There are more bad movies with cool stories, than bad beautiful movies IMO.

So many people start a negative comment about a movie with, "It was a cool idea but..." or "I really like the story but..."

The inverse is something like The Master or a Terrance Malick movie. Heck, even classic like Children of Men or Jaws have the plot of a bad movie at their core, but rise above that with execution.

A good example is The Grey. I didn't particularly like that movie, but a lot of people who normally hate big dumb movies about guys punching wolves really loved it, because it bothered to try.

Meanwhile, the bargain bins are FILLED with movies that had cool scripts or ideas.

 

[FelixOrion]

Not a very popular movie but the CG-stopmotion-drawing-8bit hybrid that is We are the Strange is absolutely mind-blowing.

Also, indie horror film Cube looked perfect. Absolutely added to the utterly paranoia-driven insanity of the film.

I dont know when people started thinking that Cinematography = Photography in film but sometimes it does feel like that started happening. Its merely one aspect of it.

Some good stuff here tho, not knocking it

 

[MattKeil]

Joke post, I hope? Cinematography is story.

Road to Perdition (2002, Conrad L. Hall)

The Fall is fantastic, i don't know why some people hate it.
Yes it's over the top and even kitch if you want, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's still very unique.
I also like the very muted plot, because it marries with the images well.

Anyway, most have already been mentioned:

Dogtooth:

Amer:

Mishima - A life in four chapters:

Tekkonkinkreet:
