The Film Room's Best Looking (Cinematography) Film of All Time is 2001: A Space Odyssey

[MartyMcFly]

Also wouldn’t be in my top list but skyfall is gorgeous

Everything else is getting repeated but this isn't getting enough consideration. That movie looked like a dream half the time.

Hard not to put this on mine. Hard not to just put 10 Deakins movies on here, tbh.

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey

2. Barry Lyndon

3. Irreversible

4. Yojimbo

5. Belly

6. Raging Bull

7. The Matrix

8. The Seventh Seal

9. The Raid

10. REC

Would've put Enter the Void but Irreversible gave it a style to run with

Michael Mann movies are to cinematography what Dr. Dre albums are to audio engineering.

And Miami Vice is the best looking one.

Now I have a slight question for the matrix lol: is it beautifully shot or did it just change the way cameras can be used? Because the movie is a lot of gray, black, and green. It’s not a pretty movie to look at but obviously it’s innovative as hell

Definitely because it changed the game. Camera work was my main reason for choosing that, Irreversible (the cuts are ) and REC. Raid might have to be replaced but that hallway scene was so good, I felt I had to add it.

Ah ok. So you’re going more for style rather than just how the thing looks. Respect

I'd go with Collateral or Thief, personally.

Also, Mann is not his own DP.

Some classics mentioned in here. Glad cinematography can be appreciated.

Children of Men is the pinnacle.

And shoutout to Lubezki the gawd, your cinematographers favorite cinematographer.
