The 75 best looking films ever made
So I thought I'd do a thread. Just to keep my mind ticking. I'm going to list what I feel are the 75 best looking films ever made, in terms of a combination of:
photography camerawork colours framing blocking shot composition mise-en-scène. There will surely be a few that won't make the list that deserve to, but I haven't seen 'all the films' so go gentle. I'm going to do a film every day or few days perhaps, post a gif or two and say a few words about why I think it looks great. Discussion is enthusiastically encouraged. In all there will be 75 films, with some honourable mentions that didn't make the cut along the way too. Hope you like it. So, here's: |
No. 75: ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ Director: Wes Anderson DoP.: Robert Yeoman https://i.imgur.com/6QP2iZd.gif This film is simply gorgeous. A lot is made about Wes Anderson’s choice of framing and symmetry but his inventiveness is also brilliant. He must draw from Directors like Jacques Tati as his humour and quirkiness that he puts into his films are evident. The peach, purples and and pinks in this film standout. Beautiful to look at. |
Love your first choice...most of Wes Anderson's films are gorgeous to look at...looking forward to the rest of your list.

Bring on the eye candy! :up:

Well not technically, but party on. Looking forward to the list.

Re: The 75 best looking films ever made
Excellent idea for a list - looking forward to it!
|
What a neat idea for a thread! I'm looking forward to it:) And kudos to you for your first choice, The Grand Budapest Hotel, while I didn't love the story itself, the film looked wonderful!

Re: The 75 best looking films ever made
Good list idea! I'll be following this thread.
And yeah, The Grand Budapest Hotel is a great way to start this list off. |
Not really a fan of Wes, but his films are pretty.

Re: The 75 best looking films ever made
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a blind spot for me. I have seen every other Anderson flick, but not this one, which seems to be many people's favorite...

All of the top 10 places can be filled with Tarkovsy alone.

Wes Anderson and director of photography Robert Yeoman had a lot of fun with, among other things, using different aspect ratios. It goes from two extremes of 2.40:1 widescreen for the framing segments set in the 1960s to something close to the old Academy standard at 1.37:1 for the main story set in the 1930s, with a bit of 1.85:1 for the brief prologue set in the '80s with Tom Wilkinson. There's even a sequence in black and white at the end of the film.
Here is a nice cataloging of the different kinds of shots they employ in one of the opening full widescreen scenes... |
Awesome. I'm in.

Ozu Yasujiro's An Autumn Afternoon belong somewhere on the list. I'm a huge fan of his work, so its hard to nail it down to one movie.

I remember watching a video on YouTube by CineFix on the same topic a few months ago.
