I really like your site, and share with your passion, love and appreciation of cinema. Keep the site up, glad I found it – there are so many movies that I’d like to see referenced here but I guess the top three that I’m interested in seeing you breakdown into 60 great shots would be … 1. Barry Lyndon
2. Apocalypse Now
3. JFK

The dolls come complete with sleep eyes, a first for a McDonald s Happy Meal doll and an innovation introduced to the toy industry by Madame Alexander in the early 1930s. Coquette, another dolled-up doll, is back with tons of looks and versions Crowd Pleaser Coquette, Triple Take and Rose Shimmer Coquette are just some of the offerings that combine intricately detailed costumes, first-rate accessories and sparkling jewels.

During the ride, passengers are entertained with holiday-themed activities and performances. There are carol singers who serenade the passengers with joyful Christmas songs. Santa Claus himself makes an appearance, spreading cheer and handing out small gifts to the children on board.

Films A-Z

Jeunet seems to be a high amount of requests so ill have to track down DVDs (would Alien Resurrection do. ) I have ashamedly not gotten around to watching Amores Perros, but its on my list! I really love Frida and its beautifully shot, so thanks for the reminder and expect to see that one soon!

Amores perros is a great film with some really great camera work if I remember rightly. I think There Will Be Blood would be a great choice too. In fact I think I’ll review that one soon on my blog lol. I would also recommend Brick and Pi – both visually wonderful in their own very unique ways. http://samlockley.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/samlockley1

I find that Asian cinematography has a completely unique style to it, it would be interest to see some reviews on some Asian films such as “Chunking Express” and “Thirst”. I found these films to have some extremely different and interesting shots compared to western cinema.

I just finished watching 2046, and it really is beautifully shot. Hopefully it will make it up at some point. I am going to have to see if my local library has a decent selection of asian DVD’s as my own DVD collection is sorely lacking!

Lots of beautiful films here!
I’d love to see Days of Heaven and Children of Men honored here as well.
And if you’re open to non-American films, The White Ribbon and Hero are certainly lovely films too. Plus, as mentioned before by others, everything by Jean Pierre Jeunet is beautiful.
Thanks for a great collection of films!

Just finalising my Days of Heaven post as we speak (or more like just before i started typing this). The White Ribbon was really excellent, I’ll probably do a Haneke week, or maybe a B&W Week.

You’ll have to take a still of every frame with Tarkovsky. Haha. I’d recommend the Three Colours trilogy too. Immense cinematography!

2046 should definitely be added and even In the Moon for Love..and also One Hour Photo had some stunning cinematography

I have a request, I haven’t watched this film in a while but I think you’ll enjoy the cinematography quite a bit. Its called Raise the Red Lantern by Yimou Zhang

I was just about to say you should finish off your Mallick collection. Now only The Thin Red Line left to do. Some other requests I hope you get around to someday- No Country For Old Men, American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Sin City and maybe some LOTR. Great job guys.

Glazer will get done at some point, I still have to buy Birth…if only for that jogging in the snow scene 🙂 ill keep an eye out for Raise the Red Lantern, maybe I should start a donate a DVD option. Malick will be finished up soon, untill tree of life comes out that is, American Beauty is on the list, as are all of the movies you mentioned. Im eager to do a Coen brothers week, but a lot of my favourites are all out on loan from my collection. As for the “great job guys” thanks so much for that, but there is only one guy running this thing…. so many movies so little time.

Fantastic work here! Although I would, without question, include Unbreakable. Thank you for putting together this website though!

Why isn’t WATCHMEN on this blog? Or the movie TORQUE? Seriously… 🙂 (Not joking about Torque, that movie “looks” really good.)

Watchmen isn’t on the blog because I didn’t like the movie, that’s not to say that it wont get done (because there are some really wonderful scenes and frames) it’s just not high on my list of priorities… though if I get more requests (or if someone wants to mail me a DVD) Ill be sure to bump it up the list. Torque I havent seen, but actually do want to see (the wonderful Adam Scott is in it) like Watchmen, it could well get done but I have no idea when! Hope the trailer is helping drum up some funding for your film…its a great ides (I just wished the movies I made made good trailers)

I’ve wanted to do a Coen week since I started, but 3 of my DVDs are in friends houses so I might wait till I get them back… or I might start trickling out some Coen classics soon. What a master of suspense I am!

Just found out about this website. Awesome!
For me, cinematography – besides muisc/score – is the most important thing in a movie (which actually should be obvious, since a movie is about MOVING IMAGES, but still most people seem not to care or “get” it). Great job on this site! You should add “Stay” (by Marc Foster) and “Mr. Nobody” (from 2009) to the list some day – probably the most beautiful cinematography I can remember seeing in films. Keep it up!

It’s not film but it is cinema. I’ve recently been watching the Wallander series shot in part by Anthony Dod Mantle of “Slumdog Millionaire” fame and I have to say it is some of the most stunning visual poetry I’ve seen. Each episode is feature-length and everything about it is top notch; the cinematograpy, the setting, the most gorgeous lighting not to mention the acting.
Shot entirely on Red One cameras. If you want to see what the future of digital cinema looks like check out this series.

Crackin website!
Really please to find some of my fave already on the list. What about The pianist, Royal tenenbaums or inglorious basterds?

Hmm. Very nice collection! I’ve been obsessed with cinematography/post-prod ever since I screentested There Will Be Blood as a projectionist. I’ll watch anything with Elswit or Deakins at DoP, regardless of subject matter. Two films I think you might want to look into are;
A Single Man, by Tom Ford.
He even de-saturates and re-saturates colour hues within single shots, depending on moods. But generally, worth seeing for extreme production values and set dec, and a few interesting tricks for a first-time director. I think there are reflections in about 90% of the shots in the first act. And;
The Fall, by Tarsem Singh.
Simply the prettiest film I’ve ever seen. I watch it regularly to justify my purchase of a 50″ plasma screen at home. Tarsem is an extremely visual director, if lacking in the storytelling department. His previous film was The Cell, and although not well received critically overall, everyone agreed it was very, very pretty.

Some great suggestions guys! A lot of them are in my to do pile, some I still have to get on DVD. I missed the Fall and A Single Man when they were in cinemas, have wanted to see them but just still haven’t gotten around to it….will do soon!

I’m waiting to get the Thin Red Line on criterion before doing a post, by all accounts the transfer is far superior!

i’d love to see stills from pulp fiction, jarhead (the oil wells are stunning) and american gangster
cheers

Fantastic site. Maybe some Amores Perros would be nice, and Road To Perdition of course! Lovely idea though, great site.

Barry Lyndon is up (I did a week of Kubrick posts), I’ll do Apocalypse Now just as soon as I get myself the proper DVD (I only have redux). Oliver Stone was one of the first directors I really got into, and JFK was one of my favourite films… I guess Mr. Stone’s recent output hasput me a bit off him, but you’re absolutely right in suggesting JFK… I’ll get on it!

the redux version of Apocalypse Now, is the propper version, I studied with Vittorio Storaro and I can stated that 🙂

SURELY IT’S TIME FOR CITIZEN KANE! one of the greatest artistic films ever made, every shot is a masterpiece.

Spirit of the Beehive is a film I have meant to watch for ages. So Id love to do it. (Edit) I just looked into it, and apparently the Region 2 UK DVD is in 4:3, which is the wrong aspect ratio for the movie….which means Ill have to wait till I have money to order the Criterion edition… Ill look some more into it see can I find a good copy. (Edit) I see the Uk DVD isnt actually cropped (significantly), but the criterion release has much nicer colours, and a nicer general transfer… better get saving!

Wow, dude, just watched Valhalla Rising last night, it deserves a marquee spot on this list. Might even top The Fall and Van Dieman’s Land for insane cinematography in my own collection. Although full disclosure, I can’t buy it in New Zealand, so I had to somewhat slightly steal a 720p rip from the dark corners of the internet. Which was a bit of a boon, standard DVD quality won’t do this justice. I’ll still buy it on dvd though. Just let it sit on the shelf and watch the 720p. No entries for V in the list yet, so you gotta hit up Valhalla or Van Dieman’s asap!

I had started a post a while ago and my disc kept on crashing… I’ll dust it of soon enough and try again for sure

you could probably watch “The fall” by Tarsem singh. saw it couple of months back loved the cinematography.

Welcome! RFAD is now on the front page (good synchronisation of request and something I had been working on)

I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but SNATCH is my favorite film of all time, precisely because of it’s cinematography. May be worth a look see for you.

Stumbled upon your site and think it’s a great idea. Well done! May I recommend ‘Hero’ as future film for you to do? As the colours and cinematography in the film are just beautiful.
