Great cinematography in cruddy movies

Tools    





It was a mistake or a poor choice...sigh, I don't know. I posted links of films that weren't that well recieved by fans, critics, or just didn't earn much dough. Like I said a few posts up, I like them...the ones I linked...but I've seen plenty of people say that they didn't. My point was that Burum, in my opinion, is one of the most original and talented cinematographers working today, but none of the films he's worked on are regarded classics...until somebody posts in this thread saying, "Yeah they are!"

-or-

Blame Holden. He told me they all suck and I believed him. I feel so used.

-or-

The reason they are as good as they are (some of them) (like I already said) (twice) (in a manner of speaking) (damnit...that's what I meant!) is because of Burum's influence.

-or-

I'm retarded and cruel.

In nearly every way Vanishing Point[1971] is a cruddy movie but there a few aspects that make it one of my sentimental favourites. Apart from being a fan of the genre, John A. Alonzo 's cinematography was easily the best part of this minimalist B-Grade chase film. The desert has never looked more appealing to an ex-marine, ex-racecar driver, ex-cop, fugitive named Kowalski who is on the run from the law in a '70 Dodge Challenger. Truly B-grade film.


And while I'm remotely on the topic, let me express my disgust for the cover of the Australian DVD release of the film.

LOOK AT IT!! JUST LOOK AT IT!!



I like this thread and I should probably start another, but nah.......What about the opposite? Great movies ... cruddy cinematography?
