Visually, your favourite films

And still no blu-ray for Open Range.

 

The Crow. The Cell is visually gorgeous as well.

 

The Blu-ray directors cut of Dances With Wolves is beautiful.

 

Apart from the obvious 2001, Blade Runner,

Spirited Away

I just love the colour palette & imagery. I find it very pleasing and rather soothing.

 

You beat me to Blade Runner.

 

Open Range for me, too. Way underrated in my opinion. And I have never seen it at a theatre!

 

I saw OPEN RANGE at the theatre. WYATT EARP as well. Liked them both. A recent film that was weird but visually 'stunning' was BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, it's like Kubrick meets Jodorowsky.

 

Barry Lyndon.

For me, Kubrick's masterpiece, and the most beautiful movie ever made.

For those with a little a technical knowledge, some scenes were shot with Zeiss f/0.7 50mm lenses made for NASA, with an extremely shallow depth of field, giving this extraordinary ambiance on the scenes lit by candle light. But again, the whole film is a visual feast, a succession of great paintings.

 

Lawrence of Arabia
2001
Thin Red Line (did not like the movie but it looks great)

 

Citizen Kane
North By Northwest
Alien
2001
Ben-Hur
West Side Story

 

2001.
Goemon.
The Chef, The Actor and the Scoundrel.

Watchmen.
Gravity.

 

glad someone beat me to it, a real feast for the eyes as well as a great bit of storytelling with several levels.

cheers,

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned.This movie kind of flew under the radar when it was released.
I've recommended it more than a few times.Sci-fi noir?

 

The Blu-ray looks great too.

 

"Days of Heaven" inspires my visual heart every time I watch it.
"Lawrence of Arabia" showed me the way to compose a shot beautifully in widescreen.
"The Black Stallion" was stunning in both its visuals and in the amazing use of ambient sound.

 

The Spider's stratagem
Never Cry Wolf

 

Apocalypse
Dressed To Kill
Days of Heaven
McCabe and Mrs Miller

 

Amarcord

there are many...but, I just watched Open Range so I'm adding that one.

 

If only McCabe and Mrs. Miller would get a Blu-ray release. That would make my year.
