Terrence Malick anyone? David gordon green?

I'm going to assume that none of you have seen any films by these two, if you had I am very sure they would be on your lists.

Malick especially, Days of heaven is a must see for anyone who enjoys breathtaking cinematography.

I wouldn't say better, but films with equally good cinematography:

+ Blade Runner
+ Atonement
+ Spellbound
+ Ed Wood
+ 2001: A Space Odyssey
+ Barry Lyndon
+ The Fall

I really wasn't that impressed with The Godfather's cinematography.

Although I hated the movie... this is by far the best cinematography ever... every scene can be paused and framed on a wall

"Stalker", made after a book by Strugatki brothers

Slumdog? Give me a break there is nothing intresting about that movie. Kubrick movies are always top of the list as far as cinematography, but next comes anything else by Conrad. Everything else is pretty far behind. The ending **SPOILERS** with Hanks at the glass, waves reflected, and Michael Jr by the waves with Jude Law in background is just amazing.

so? i liked Slumdog and you didn't ah well

The ending **SPOILERS** with Hanks at the glass, waves reflected, and Michael Jr by the waves with Jude Law in background is just amazing.


110percent agree! ... that's always the main scene i bring up besides the most common 'rain scene' everyone talks about which is top spec to.

Can someone name a movie with better cinematography...?


no simply because you can't really get noticeably better than this as it's not only good in cinematography it's also entertaining and the music further boosts it.

anyway people have started naming random sh!t...totally irrelevant to the OP's question, making a list of their recent favorite movies instead


that about sums it up in some cases because some films people mentioned can't hold a candle to Road to Perdition in my mind in terms of the 'beautifully shot' stuff.

Are we to manly to say Pride & Prejudice(Joe Wright version)? Also Atonement is incredible. Children of Men has been mentioned but it deserves another shout out. I also enjoy Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I'm a sucker for beautiful landscape haha

Just tell her you a slave to the groove....you can't help it.

Basically all Conrad Hall movies look great(Road to perdition, American Beauty) and just about every Roger Deakins movie looks good too( All the Coen Bros movies, Assassination of J.J.) I also love the cinematography for Unforgiven, its a beautiful looking movie.

1979 Days Of Heaven - Terence Malik with the remarkable cinematographer Nestor Almendros - experimental - all natural lighting. If you've never seen this film it is indelible on the basic needs of men. A true masterpiece of incredible beauty and tragedy.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...,House Of Flying Daggers..just about any movie by Zhang Zimou
