Interesting to see Fight Club here. I rewatched it last year remembering it as one of my favorites, only to be surprised to find the cinematography to feel dated and kind of hacky. I didn't like it at all.
Nice list. I’m going to try to order some of these from the library. Some that I like: The Searchers 1956 Cinematography Winton C. Hoch The Apartment 1960 Cinematography Joseph LaShelle The Iron Giant (Animated) Cinematography Steven Wilzbach I Confess 1953 Cinematography Robert Burks Taxi Driver 1976 Cinematography Michael Chapman Treasure Of The Sierra Madre 1948 Cinematography Ted D.

Beautiful!! I also would include Suspiria (1977) and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
@@jv8studios Nayakan,Thalapathi,Iruvar and Ravannan. Mostly I would suggest every films of him but these are more special according to me and I hope that you enjoy it ❤️
I would like to add "Blowup" by Michelangelo Antonioni, cinematographer Carlo Di Palma - a must see - questions the validity of truth in the photographic image
Raise The Red Lantern (1991) Cinematographer: Zhao Fei [Dir. Zhang Yimou] . One can randomly pause on any frame of this film and it is a wonderful photograph that tells a story in of itself.
Magnificent. Take a bow Sareesh Sudhakaran. I have followed you for years, you are a *remarkable* educator on film appreciation, cinematography and filmmaking technology. Loved Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture as your soundtrack. A personal note as regards your thumbnail from the Sergei Parajanov directed film The Colour of Pomegrants. In 1992 on a month’s mission in Armenia and Georgia researching the life of Parajanov one of the interviews my colleague and I recorded was with Sofiko Chiaureli, the film’s lead actress and woman in the thumbnail. BTW I’m a film and other intellectual property lawyer in Sydney.
A little too much use of wide angle lenses which tend to point to them being wide angle lenses but the above list appears to neglect standout cinematography seen in The Wizard Of Oz (Harold Rosson) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Claudia Miranda).
Bravo!!! Here area few I like Joan Of Arc(1927), The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover and The Element Of Crime. I could go but hope you like these.
So good, every time I'd wonder if a film would be on the list, there it was. Days of Heaven, In The Mood For Love, The Night of the Hunter. Excellent picks
Barry Lyndon really surprised me, the first time I watched it , it was purely because it is a Kubrick film - went in with no expectations at all, ready to be utterly bored from the story, and it blew my mind.... Excellent film!!
Shindler,s list was the first black and white movie l saw from start to finish it was really good experience I thanks Spielberg for that but after watching persona l was blown away buy how simple yet beautiful and intersting black and white movie can be people should watch black and white movies their something so special about them that we are able to focus more on the characters and the story . By the way you are doing a great job ☺️
Depends on what you’re looking for. As JVB Studios mentioned Requiem and Shaun are great examples (in fact, all Edgar Wright projects are great studies of editing). I’d also add JFK (especially the whole courtroom sequence), Wal Street, Psycho (famous shower scene of course), 80s & 90s Hong Kong action films (editing is crucial to staging superb action scenes), Errol Morris documentaries, and of course some Sergei Eisenstein and Doug’s Vertov projects. And I live the story about how Star Wars The New Hope was saved in the edit. Anyways, the list would go on and on. Oh, and 60s Leonid Gaidai films like Operation Y, Kavkaz Prisoner, and shorts like The Bootleggers.
What a fantastic list, so inspiring. I'm going to watch many of the titles that you showed and rewatch a few others too. Thank you for putting it together. I would suggest also Casablanca and The Cell, but this is an awesome collection already 😀👍 ps: extra points for including "Profondo Rosso"
Nice list. I definitely think you should have included something by Brian DePalma in there as he uses amazing cinematography in some of his classics, which look pretty and have function in terms of story and drama as well as sometimes looking impossible. Also James Cameron did some amazing things with his cinematographer in ALIENS and THE ABYSS. Another legendary filmmaker and star is Jackie Chan, if you look at how his classic fight scenes are filmed from 80s movies like WHEELS ON MEALS and ARMOUR OF GOD, they are framed and lit beautifully, but also they are sometimes long single-takes, so some intense planning went into those scenes to account for camera movement and action, and they look beautiful - so definitely I think a Jackie movie should have been in there too.
I think Siddharth Diwan’s Bullbul deserve to be in this list BTW I feel low about movies from past some months now I know where I have to go bcoz of this amazing Video. Thanks Mr. Sareesh Sudakran Sir.
Need to watch the films that you mention many times ASAP. Your channel is a "look no further" reference for me, regarding top notch cinematography. BTW nice seeing not one but two movies shot on Super 16 film on this list. Black Swan and City of God.
Full Metal Jacket, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, Avatar, and (maybe Transformers) are examples of big-budget films (thus more pandering, less artistic) that I thought should make it onto this list. Good list though. Very few people talk about Hero (2002), and it is the most beautifully shot movie in my opinion; thanks of including it.
I have some stuff to add :) Overall the list is fairly conventional. But how to expect big surprises? Here are some movies I’d add or place differently: Roger Deakins only has two entries at 96 and 97. I actually don’t like The Assassination of Jesse James that much as I often find it rather pretentious instead of beautiful and in support of the story. I’m surprised that from his work with the Coen brothers Fargo isn’t listed for the difficult shots in the snow etc (it’s on most such lists). O Brother, Where Art Thou? is also often named. Afaik it pioneered digital color grading. Personally, I like Barton Fink the most. For the Wes Anderson & Robert D. Yeoman cooperation, I probably like The Life Aquatic the most. I would take it instead of The Grand Budapest Hotel even though that was more successful and thus better known. Btw I recently watched Astroid City and while it was visually pleasing as we are accustomed with above mentioned team. It falls flat on a story level in my eyes. Here we also encounter the question how to treat multiple works of the same person or team. They are often pretty similar. So often I would only list one representative work and add a note to their other works (except when those are vastly different in style so that they earn their own entry). Someone already mentioned Suspiria (1977) in the comments. Overall there is a lot of interesting and good cinematography in the giallo genre. As an oddball closely related to that I would suggest to have a look at Zombie 2 (1979). (I now later notice that Deep Red made the list. Didn’t notice due to the english title) The whole German Expressionism is a question in it’s own again. There are like Sunrise, M, Metropolis, Nosferatu and so on. Generally there is a disbalance in genres. We tend to think of typical cinematography in dramas and especially historical dramas as beautiful. But action movies for example have their own quality regarding cinematography (yes I know the list has some just saying that we all have a bias there) Maybe I missed it but the Technicolor musical era is missing. Think of An American in Paris, Singin’ in the Rain, Kiss Me Kate, … Speaking of musicals during the black and white era the musicals by Busby Berkeley deserve a mention for camera work. On the other hand the Fred Astaire style musicals are less flashy regarding camera work but have their own merit. Edit: I noticed that with Gigi there is a musical in there. It's been a while since I saw it. The Red Shoes (1948) might also be worth mentioning - same team as for Black Narcissus. Otherwise the highest comedy in your list is Network I believe. Comedies are barely on the list. I'm not really surprised but I think it's worth mentioning. Il gattopardo / The Leopard (1963) has great cinematography. I also love the cinematography in Brief Encounter (1945). Krasker has an entry with The Third Man. Also speaking of David Lean movies: Lawrence of Arabia should be further up. Blow-Up (1966) was rightfully mentioned in another comment. Lola rennt / Run Lola Run (1998) is missing. You could also consider some of Michel Gondry’s films. Maybe have a look at music videos in particular. The 90s were on fire… Speaking of 90s not only some of the Coen brothers / Deakin team ups are missing as mentioned above. Pulp Fiction is also missing. Yes, its cinematography is great. Leon: The Professional (1994) is missing. Generally no cinema du look at all as far as i can see. I don’t like Black Swan, Hero, Birdman and Munich that much. They wouldn’t make my list. They didn’t add too much at the time they were released. To conclude my comment: I think rankings are always a bit problematic for art. I prefer unordered lists with groupings like genre/era or persons involved.
In no particular order we may add 1917, Mother, The Cell, What Dreams May Come, Morvern Callar, Snowpiercer, Inception, Fight Club, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Kill Bill, and of course the list can go on.
L'Année Dernière à Marienbad, Melancholia, The Red Shoes, La Belle et la Bete, (the 1946 Cocteau one) and not including anything from Jacques Demy or Merchant Ivory films are all downright sinful omissions. I also feel like the list needs a wild card or two, like Ciao Manhattan or The Saddest Music in the World.
Ran, The Shining, Intolerance and Nosferatu are notable absences. Also Spring Summer Fall Winter, I'd replace any of the Korean movies you mentioned with these.
Thank you I know that it is more than pretty pictures Many great paintings aren't always pretty. I am trying to learn photography as a hobby. This has given me ideas
Sareesh, I really enjoy your videos, but one thing that has always baffled me is, how are you allowed to use so many video clips from other movies without copyright infringement? The reason I am asking is because I wanted to use some old news footage in some of my music videos, but have no clue on how to accomplish this without getting a claim against me. Thank you
Glad to see names like Karl Freund, Geoffrey Unsworth, John Alcott and Greg Toland, but what about Rudolph Mate? Nicholas Musuraca? William Daniels? Oswald Morris?
very nice list but I feel something is missing :) like: Under the Skin (2013), Il deserto rosso (1964), Dark Water (2005), Safe (1995), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Meek's Cutoff (2010), Crash (1996), Wild at Heart (1990), A Quiet Place (2018), In the Bedroom (2001) - the list goes on... ;)
What a great List! I'm so happy u put so many Bertolucci Movies in it IL Comformista and 1900 is in my personal Top 100! Kalatozov in it (watched Soy Cuba and Letter never sent)... Metropolis and M... Memories of Murder Tunnel Scene 😍... Kurosawa, Kubrick, Tarkowski, Parajanov, Jodorowski, Bergman ... What u think about Herzogs Fitzcarraldo, Bella Tarr (just watched the Turin Horse, but was amazing), or Lav Diaz? Bressan? Bunuel? U watched Tengiz Abuladze, or Komissar (1967)...Or Carriage to Vienna already?
A few missed that I really like: What Dreams May Come Under The Skin Big Fish Mulholland Drive Oh Brother Where Art Thou Enter The Void Requiem for a Dream 8 1/2 Wings of Desire
Sleepy Hollow Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Skyfall The Exorcist Ben-Hur Sicario Prisoners Children of Men Shawshank Redemtion These are some of my favorites...hope you enjoy them too!
💐🥺Can anyone tell the name of modern film ...with beautiful shot of a car standing a place with pink color cinematic frame....the lights and colors are mostly of pink color.... it might me a foreign film / modern world cinema
I think naturalness, within the artistry, is very underrated when it comes to good cinematography. It's a problem that has only been increased in the most recent years, when films are so enamoured with themselves, so focused on looking good that they end up looking fake, artificial, and they take you out of the film. I also find underrated the overall aesthetic the cinematography provides, beyond the art design. Being visually appealing, despite in principle lacking "depth", is not a much minor art And in the other side, the language cinematography makes when matched to the editing is key for good cinematography. Like good music, advancing, so to say, the narrative.
However, for me, innovation is sign of merit not of quality. Then we would still be saying the first film ever is the greatest film to date. For example, Citizen Kane has fabulous cinematography, but in terms of how good the film is, I don't think it's very good. It had merit, I appreciate that, but I won't say it's better because it came before. The same applies to cinematography.
So, great list, but I want to correct a mistake you did. One of the scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark is not from that film but it is from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
This Is an excelente video! However it saddens me to see that you overlooked the work of the great Gabriel Figueroa. To get a g Tasté of His work check out Los Olvidados, El angel exterminador (both by His surreal majesty Luis Buñuel) and Macario.
I love your videos. One thing.. There’s no need to be PC and give “gender neutral” warnings. Please say the quote as it was said. It’s history and we are big boys and girls here. We can understand context and time periods.
Even though The Fall is there, maybe Baraka and Impostor could be too? (I know they're documentaries, maybe that rules them out). And The Fall was heavily inspired by Baraka. And what about Heaven & Earth (1993)? Not sure if it was on the list. I know JFK is there, but actually any Oliver Stone's movie from the 90's could be in it.
