which films do you rate as the best purely visually? I think anything Kubrick falls in that category. I'm always amazed to see his stuff, how gorgeous it looks. also, Terry Gilliam. wonderful sets. and Peter Greenaway. he uses beautiful and striking images. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kubrick is great visually...Still loving Clockwork orange I think Matin scorse's work is also good visually... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
in addition to your choices Blade Runner Lost Highway City of Lost Children |
||||||||

Saving Private Ryan very gritty and realistic to the subject it's about |
||||||||

City of Lost Children, great movie, I haven't seen that in a while though now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah Lynch.. how about the beginning of "Blue Velvet".. going down into the earth to the crawling insects.. also, I'd say "Alien" - the 1st one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a great scene. Lost Highway isn't my favorite of his, but I will always remember the excellent use of darkness and shadow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. Lynch also has a great ear for sound.. he always uses his soundtrack to maximum effect (as does Kubrick I might add).. all the shots in the house - theres always this kind of ominous hum.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah blue velvet was my first lynch film and the down in the earth part freaked me out when i first saw it. lynch is so good. |

Dracula? really? I wouldn't really agree on that one. |
||||||||

depends which one he's talking about I suppose |

The Coppola version. I haven't seen it in years, so maybe it's not as good as I think? I'm just a sucker for anything remotely gothic, anything with castles and graveyards. |
||||||||

I don't understand the question. Do you mean cinemotography wise? Just location? Shot placement in a beautiful location? Lots of movies take advantage of shit location with great visual shots. Lots of movies can build a huge fucking shot and have a static shot that is breathtaking as well. Sorry to make waves. Maybe I should just shut up. |
||||||||
|

|
|
huge fucking SET *not shot* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever seems the best definition to you. as long as it is gripping visually. mm, I guess that quickly comes down to shot placement etc. |

I saw charlie chaplins "modern times" last week, on a big screen, with a full orchestra playing the intended score. it was amazing. also visually, I mean. the sets he used, the special effects. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a live orchestra? omfg that would have been the coolest thing ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"The Fast and the Furious" Great Cars! ....shit script, plot etc. |
||||||||
|
|

IT WAS! it was completely and utterly wonderful.. I was sitting in the front row and there you had like 40 people working themselves into a sweat for the largest part of 90 minutes.. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they do whole series of them, every year.. they've done "Goldrush", "Potemkin" etc.. this was the first one I saw, as I always have to work on the nights they do this.. :( |

Ok, this is stupid, but I'll reasons: I like the shots in the movie Gettysburg: especially during Picket's charge. The shot of the boys lined up, crossing Emitsberg (sp?). The shot is all shaky, cuz it was done with a remote control helicopter, they couldn't do any better. But that shot, at the actual location, with really, 5,000+ real historical actors, I think it was the most beautiful shot I have seen in a long time. I appreciate it technically, historicall, emotionally and what not, so it gets my vote. Man, one of 2 DVDs I own, need to throw it on right now...... |

omfg, that honestly sounds like one of those things that defines your life in a totally uncomprehensible way I am very jealous, sounds like you appreciated it though, hope everyone in the audience did as well |
||||||||

it was a concerthall, completely packed. everybody loved it. :) |

no shit, gawd, I can imagine how powerful that must have been. |
||||||||

Saw a restored *as much as they can* reel of Metropolis. Man o man, with the original score it was great. With a live orchestra? oh fuck, i can't even imagine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit that sounds good too.. even if its not live.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a lot to take in, and it was only like 5/6 of all the film, the rest is just gone. The restored score was very very nice. I still love my Gettysburg shot though......the joys of cinema |

|
aye, captain.. love the shot in req. when Leto throws the paper plain from the building.. doesn't dissolve into him and Marion lying on their backs looking up..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Edward Scissorhands.. the shots of sweet suburbia and those bushes and the whole setting.. just perfectly done visually |
||||||||
|
|

My votes go to Alien, Legend (good old Ridley Scott :), Solaris (Tarkovsky original), The City of Lost Children and Delicatessen. Tim Burton's films do look good, but something about them visually doesn't sit quite right with me. :/ |

The Thin Red Line - that is a good one, they shot like 6 million feet of film for that. and used obviously, much less I dunno what some of you mean by the Matrix though, the special effects were good, but visually, most of that shit was CG and just some camera guy shooting a green screen. Hardly visual at all. How come no one is giving reason? Lets hear why, if it sounds interesting enough, I'm going to go rent me some movies! |
