| Oh, where do I start! Probably all of Bergman's movies - his camera man was a genious for careful, simple, and powerful compositions. It gets trickier as we get into colour films. Wong Kar-Wai's "In the Mood for Love" is my favourite colour movie for camera work - gourgeous use of colour and really unorthodox compositions, followed by "The Natural Born Killers" by Oliver Stone. |

| To keep it short, anything by Hitchcock. He had a knack at capturing the angles that no one else would do... Any old movie that holds the camera for long periods of time. I get so damn tired of the director/cutter catching only 1 or 2 seconds and flipping cameras constantly... |

What a coincidence, before I'd even read your post, I was going to say;
The Sacrifice (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986) |

Kill Bill Vol. I - That final fight scene between Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman in the snowy Japanese garden was amazingly shot.
The Last Emperor - The scenes in the Forbidden City with the thousands of soldiers....Wow!
Life is Beautiful - The WHOLE movie is a feast for the eyes...Roberto Benigni deserves to be called a genius!

Yes! How could I have missed that. If you haven't watched the documentary on making the film, I highly recommend it. Also by Tarkovsky Ivanovo Detstvo: the scenes in the birch forest are some of my favourite images of all time! |

| For those that like Hero another good one with similar techniques is The House of Flying Daggers. |

Movie: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - stylised colour and magic light (anything Tim Burton for that matter)
TV: CSI - Low lighting and desert scenes are perfection (just love that "enhance" button feature they have in their photo/video software - can pick up a barcode inside a single pixel, wow... beat that Adobe!)

La marche de l'empereur ( March of The Penguins)
This movie is a beauty for the eyes.
