what are the best movies for interesting camera
shots and creative cinematography?
i say.
evil dead II
a clockwork orange
lost highway
the arial shots from the lord of the rings
one flew over the cuckoos nest
psycho
natural born killers
full metal jacket
unforgiven
the shining
ben hur
stand by me
there's no end to the list of movies people could write. but here are just a few that come to mind, where the cameramen seemed particularly inspired--
koyaanisqatsi
a fistful of dollars/for a few dollars more/the good the bad & the ugly
blow out
the rules of attraction
delicatessen/city of lost children/amelie
fargo (or just about any other coen bros movies)
tokyo drifter
a lot of people have problems with koyaanisqatsi 'cause it has quite an obvious (and somewhat clumsy, by 21st century standards) social/political slant to it-- but even if you don't agree with the vague messages it's sending, everyone should at least see it once just to soak up the amazing photography/editing.
also, there's a french documentary about insects called "Microcosmos" that i'd highly recommend, for the quality of its cinematography. even if you're not into nature documentaries, it's still really impressive.
once upon a time in the west
trainspotting
28 days later
watch snatch B)
Believe it or not: The Panic Room
Watch the kitchen shot again..as the camera goes thru a keyhole and pans all the way thru the kitchen...
Hm not my field, but I thought Requiem for a dream was cleverly done.
Fight Club
Sam Rammi (that's his speciality).
Peter Jackson films in general.
The Crow
John Woo films.
Contact (Jodi Foster film).
*cough* MATRIX *cough*
three kings and Hero a jet li film
i also liked how the hulk was filmed. imposed images liek teh cartoons
what was the robin williams movie where he's dead and in hell looking for his wife...based on Dante's Inferno?
great visual effects though I havent seen it all the way thru
Perhaps AI also?
2001 space odyessy(sp!)
ED
I'd have to say Evil dead, the first one, it was shot on a shoe string budget, by guys who really wanted to be film makers, and what they laked for in profetionalism they more than made up for in imagination. Take a look at Bruce Campbels book, it has like 2 chapters on that alone, plus,,, its an awsome book
D
pulp fiction
matrix 1!
the battles in LOTRS:ROTK
Jackie Brown
that simpson's episode where all of the family have different days and they all work out together like marge cuts off homers finger and steals a car so lisa cant get to school in time etc.
th ending of Se7en

This was already mentioned, but I just watched 28 Days Later and I thought it had some nice camera work. Especially the scene near the end when it's raining and the camera looks down from above.
Does anyone else think Della Reese looks like a gorilla in a wig here?Quote:
