The best lighting you've seen...

Re: The best lighting you've seen...

Another great cinematographer is Caleb Deschanel. Among his best works (in my opinion) are: 'The Passion of The Christ' and 'Message In The Bottle.' Two of the best well lit movies I've seen!
 
Re: The best lighting you've seen...

I will like to add my two Lincolns here. Definitely "Road To Perdition", "Vertigo", "Amelie", "Titanic" and "The Passion of the Christ". Oh, we must not forget "The Godfather". For black and white, I like "Citizen Kane" and a movie that Sofia Coppola directed (can't remember name).

[quote author=filmmaker58 link=board=lighting;num=1090535556;start=30#37 date=07/31/04 at 23:57:20]When I think back to a movie where the lighting struck me as extraordinary, i realize that it was because it drew attention to itself, and away from the story.  i realize that if I'm really into a movie I don't notice how amazing the lighting is until I've seen it a second time.  There have been some great examples here, but LEGEND comes to mind as a film with lighting that was better than the movie.

The lighting in Legend was what made the movie(having Tom Cruise and Ferris Bueller's girlfriend, Sloan Peterson, didnt hurt either)! The "unicorn/rose petals everywhere" scene in slo-mo is a work of art.

Did anyone mention Suspiria?

Are there any DVD (or links to them) that show how the lighting was done for some/all of these movies everyone seems to like?
