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

[HHR]

I'm kinda mad I couldn't find room for something shot by Alton. The greatest of the noir genre.

From THE BIG COMBO

Alot of us are mentioning the same movies so here is a honorable mention

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Just about anything Deakins or Lubezki

You guys mentioned a lot of their work already (BR2049, Jesse James, tree of life, children of men)

Hell, i think you could even put lesser known Malick films in there that Lubezki did - like the New World.

Speaking of Malick you could probably say days of heaven as well. I'm not sure who the DP was.

Edit: the cinematographer was Nestor Almendros

 

[NinoBrown]

Casino
Alien
Skyfall
Gladiator
The Dark Knight
Fifth Element
Gravity
Amadeus
Chicago
Gangs of New York

Had to vote for 2001. I would've given the nod to br2049 but what Kubrick was able to do in 1968 is insane

I haven't seen some of these movies but
I voted for There will be Blood

I am surprised Black Hawk Down is not in the list.

Skyfall this movie was hot shyt, and I couldn't remember the plot if you paid me
