[ERICSAGOD]

I really enjoyed the cinematography in Hero.

[Spoony]

(hero)Yeah, I think Christopher Doyle was the cinematographer. He's done most of WKW's films. He's brilliant.

The Constant Gardener
Apocalypse now

[Ivor Ballokov]

[ILBB15]

The third man

Very good work with shadows.

Just 5...

Night of the Hunter
The Red Shoes
Lawrence of Arabia
Eraserhead
Metropolis

 

[FortBoyard]

Metropolis

For its time, certainly. Of all time, never.

 

[Diver]

Probably not a hugely popular choice with the pretentious film lot but The Dark Knight had great cinematography.

 

[dumbo]

For its time, certainly. Of all time, never.

Personally I think it's the best looking dystopia on film.

 

[TuTuHimm]

[Mozza]

Road to Perdition is beautifully shot

 

[M160RA]

Roger Deakins is pretty good, especially some of the films he's worked on with the Coen brothers.

The Man Who Wasn't There was pretty notable in terms of cinematography.

Miller's Crossing's a great looking film.

 

[JCurr]

Amelie was pretty fantastic visually. Although I might just be carried away with Audrey Tatou...

 

[Nistelrooy10]

The Last of the Mohicans

Citizen Kane

Dollar Trilogy

 

[mehro]

Touch of Evil - In my opinion the best cinematography amongst all films starting with that great opening shot.
Come and See
Wages of Fear
Ran
In the Mood for Love

 

[dumbo]

Paris, Texas

Was thinking Wings of Desire myself but Paris Texas is beautiful.

Amelie was pretty fantastic visually. Although I might just be carried away with Audrey Tatou...

It does look good but the set design and visuals of Delicatessen are even better.

 

[Alex]

The Last of the Mohicans

American Beauty

 

[Giggsy PO]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Empire of the Sun
Mulholland Drive
The Shining
The Kite Runner

 

[pillory]

Mulholland Drive
Days of Heaven

 

[Rood]

I thought the best thing about Slumdog Millionaire was the cinematography (and music)

others that come to mind that havent been mentioned: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon / Pans Labrynith / schindlers list

 

[Massive Spanner]

No Country for Old Men is a recent one that springs to mind

 

[Mihajlovic]

Amelie was pretty fantastic visually. Although I might just be carried away with Audrey Tatou...

Agreed. She is visually fantastic ;-)

 

[Decotron]

Walkabout is easily one of the best.

 

[Raoul]

City of God - That night club scene that was shot in strobe light was stunning.

 

[FreakyJim]

Roger Deakins is one of the best cinematographers out there.

Just take a look at his work..

Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Shawshank, Fargo, The Village, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Man Who Wasn't There, Jarhead, No Country For Old Men, The Reader, Revolutionary Road - these films have one thing in common - amazing cinematography.

 

[Mihajlovic]

Tim Burton's movies. Especially Big Fish and Sleepy Hollow.

 

[olesmyhero]

Pride and Prejudice(Keira Knightley one). Mock me all you want, but that movie was fantastic visually.

 

[Diver]

Alot of Hitchcock films had great cinematography.

I really dig Rear Window, Birds & Psycho

Even though most would probably think it's one of the worst but I like the original charm that Clerks has. Its grainy as hell but I like it for some reason.

 

[Stobzilla]

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.
In The Mood For Love.
Cassern.
Road to Perdition.
3-Iron

 

[Diver]

I didn't really like it too much but the cinematography in that Zidane: 21 Century Portrait was stunning.

 

[JCurr]

It does look good but the set design and visuals of Delicatessen are even better.

Haven't seen it yet. I'll have to move it up the list.
