Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this? I have no clue what it's title would be. |

"City of God"
If you love foreign films, this is a MUST see. One of my favorites of all time. Not only is the camera work good, it is also about a story of a Photographer (more or less). I haven't met a person who does not like this film. |

Really love the camera work in
Fifth Element
Killing Zoe
Oh and for very original stylish camera work what about Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels - Shame about the director but a great movie non the less.

| Let me preface my choice by stating that I'm not Gay (Not that there's anything wrong with that), but for absolute stunning cinematography you really should see Brokeback Mountain. The outdoor scenery is amazing, it's like every frame of the film could be a fine art print in a gallery. My wife and I really enjoyed the movie, too bad it wasn't about two girls instead of 2 guys. |

I don't usually choose an entire movie as photographically impressive. But I do choose scenes in the movie that particularly grab my attention.
The first time I watch a movie I watch the movie, I get involved in the story as if I were there and I don't pay attention to the details until I watch it the second time. Then I take notice of special effects, set/costume design, photographic techniques, ect.
There is one movie that made me stop and really take notice the first time around was 'V for Vandetta' It's not typically my kind of movie but throughout the entire movie I was catching myself noticing the lighting and angles of the camera. |

Barry Lyndon represents the greatest job of cinematography I've ever seen. The candle lit scenes using the Zeiss 50mm f0.7 were breathtaking. DP John Alcott’s filming of other Kubrick films Clockwork Orange and the Shinning were also worthy cinematic greats.
Speaking of candle lit scenes Gregg Toland’s work in the Grapes of Wrath was outstanding as well as his work in Wuthering Heights and of course Citizen Kane.
Conrad Hall’s work is also of note from his last film American Beauty to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, The Day of the Locust, In Cold Blood & Marathon Man.
edit to add two more that popped into my head...
City of God
Boogie Nights

Here! Here! on Clockwork.
Definately check out Dario Argento stuff...
Opera, while sometimes over the top slasher-wise, there is beautiful direction and cinetography.
Ditto on most of his other stuff.
Suspiria (opening scene) - opening credits end at 1:22
Cool use of filters on the individual color "channel" on the old Technicolor film. |

I was at the Sundance Film Festival a few years ago and saw a movie called 212. The camera work was beautiful. I love it. Unfortunately it hasn't gotten picked up yet...so it's not out for anyone to see. :(
Here's the website on IMDB if anyone wants to take a look to figure out how to get their hands on it. :)

| Snatch, typical Brit film. Rough, grimy and great humour. Watch it, love it! |

Children Of Men
It has a 7 minute (or 12 i can't remember which), uncut scene, which is apparently one of the most complex choreographed scenes ever filmed.
It's similar to Saving Private Ryan which was also absolutely incredible, and important. |

One of my photography teachers was the still photographer for "Lawrence of Arabia". He had a lot of great stories to tell.
