Bladerunner (and 2049) has a special place in my heart. There are so many classics that stretched film photography. Lawrence of Arabia. Alien. The Cell. Night of the Hunter. Dunkirk. 2001: A Space Odyssey. Just to name a few. What movies are your favorites that aren’t as known?

    Some of these will be “as known” but here’s some random examples of beautiful cinematography that I really love:

    Journal d’ un cure de compagne

    The Red Shoes

    Bringing Out The Dead

    The Seventh Seal

    Mirrors (Tarkovsky)

    Beau Travail

    Red Sorghum

    In The Mood For Love

      I don’t think I have ever seen anyone mention Bringing Out The Dead. I love that film. Awesome choice! You’ve got a really solid list here.

        Thanks! Yeah I love everything about Bringing Out The Dead but the cinematography really stands out. If I remember right, Scorsese had seen Robert Richardson’s work on Snow Falling On Cedars and asked him to bring that same luminous quality. Which is an achievement because very different subject/setting, but it works.
