eternal sunshine's special effects were done DPC style, not with post-processing but by actually creating optical illusions with specially made sets.

All Jim Jarmusch's films.

I just saw the new western Appaloosa with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson. Decent film, most fans of westerns would like it, it was shot in the old fashioned way, reminding me of Clint Eastwood's old films he directed. However, in Appaloosa, the end credits showed some great still photography. I was wondering what lens was used to achieve some of the effects in those shots.

Brokeback Mtn had some incredible scenery (and photography)! Lots of scenes made me think--wish I were there with my camera (and no, I don't mean the scenes in the tent!)

The new one, Earth, in theatres now, is filled with amazing images.

Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, or even better his Clockwork Orange.

Narnia: Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe - Specifically the scene where the girl is pulling off the sheet from the wardrobe and the scene where she is walking with the faun for the first time and there is an overhead shot of them with the umbrella. I get chills at those two spots every time. The music is lovely too.

Australia - I just saw this for the first time two days ago and I was very impressed with the cinematography. A lot of it looked like CGI, but well-done CGI.

Paper Moon! Need I say more??

One (series really)that may have slipped under the radar - is a British series on Agatha Christie's "Herecule Poirot" with David Suchet. Not necessarily stunning scenery but very interesting cinematography in the respect that they seem to use diferent camera men for each show. Story line aside - there seems to be a different genre approach. Incredible attention to detail and many of the frames could be amazing old world still shots. It's almost like each director (or camera man) are given full reigne to see what they can do with the visuals for each story.
Some are better than others - but the ones that really work - you can almost hear the "click" of the camera as each scene is framed.

Jen de Florette and Manon of the Spring: the photography, whilst understated, utterly immerses you in a time and a place, these are simply beautiful movies...

Kubrick is a MASTER! He has a background in still photography, it's how he got into the hollywood business.
Barry Lyndon was great, clockwork orange of course, although I've veiwed that one least of all his bigger films. My favorite of his is Eyes Wide Shut, his best direction was for the Shining and FMJ.

"Elizabeth The Golden Age" has some exquisitly lit scenes I wish I could have had a chance to photograph myself.

No one's mentioned Little Fugitive. Morris Engel was a genius. Lots of great candid footage of New York City.

Lawrence of Arabia

These arent your traditional movies, but they have great photography/cinematography. The films have no dialogue though... hence, not traditional.

Koyaanisqatsi
Powaqatsi
Naqoyqatsi

They were produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and have incredible music to them as well.

Interesting titles, especially the first you mentioned. A whole film made up from a slide show. I can't wait to see Ron Howard's Angels and Demons. Judging from the trailer, the shots of Rome and Vatican city are going to be really great. Not many movies filmed in Vatican city, if anyone knows of any, please share info. Oh, and don't say Van Helsing! lol I'm looking forward to the interior shots.

Zhang Yimou's films.

The Hungarian director Bela Tarr has made some beautiful movies.



He's influenced by Tarkovsky who is also well worth checking out. His 'Stalker' is one of my all time favourite flms.

I'd agree with that,
and Polanski's Tess, for an oldie.
And The Assassination of Jessie James which has probably already been mentioned.
Someone said Lawrence of Arabia, I watched that not long ago as was blown away...again.

eta: Dark Eyes with Marcello Mastroianni directed by Nikita Mikhalkov 1987

Killer's Kiss is one of his best - it moves from photograph to photograph. I was so entranced I missed 90% of the dialogue the first time through, 50% the second...

I would also have to add Fight Club and BladeRunner. Both are movies in which I got lost.
