Re: Pick ONE movie for cinematography excellence
Hello everyone and Happy New years!. It's a shame we're only allowed to pick one movie because there are so many great ones out there, but I will have to go with my favorite "The Last Samurai". I have watched this movie over and over again. People may not agree with me, but I think it's a masterpiece. The soundtrack is also supberb. My two cents.

Amelie (France, 2001)
Every frame is a work of art. See for yourself. The cinematographer is a genius. The use of color is incredible. Watch the Making of Amelie on the DVD to truly appreciate the effort behind the movie. ...Disjecta mentioned it earlier but I really think it needs a second mention. Amelie.
Take a look!

Re: Pick ONE movie for cinematography excellence
"Dark City", by Alex Proyas. That edges out "American Beauty", but only slightly.
Other ones that spring to mind:
"Ed Wood"
"Sleepy Hollow"
"The Shining" (1980)
"Quills"

Re: Pick ONE movie for cinematography excellence
duh, BLADE RUNNER!!! actually all of Ridley Scott's films have astounding cinematography!
But I love Sven Nykvist too. Fanny and Alexander, What's eating Gilbert Grape... Subtle and beautiful.
Conrad Hall-A-maze-ing. Actually probably better than Scott...
Stanley Kub. darn.

Re: Pick ONE movie for cinematography excellence
If I have to choose one it will be a DP, not a movie.
This time it has to be Conrad Hall.
I've read all the postings in this thread and decided to share a interesting experience.
In 1990 I attended a lecture with Freddie Young at The London Film School (at the time the best Film School in the world if you want to became a Cinematographer). Of course most of the talking was about his collaborations with David Lean. "Lawrence of Arabia" was mentioned over and over. But, after a while he let go that his favorite (actually the work he was most proud of it) was "Ryan's Daughter", and he went on and on why this was the bigger challenge and success of his long a brilliant career.

"The Yearling" is a cinematic masterpiece. Aside from the cinematography, the lighting is just as spectacular.
"Gone With the Wind" is another masterpiece.
Jimmy Crabes work in the first "ROCKY" is stunning.
The Godfather I and II, especially II
Anything by Spielberg. He used the best DP's.
And who can forget Sergio Leones, "Once Upon a Time in the West".
