If I had more time it would be longer, surely there are many films that stun by way of the brush.

You say no order, yet Double Life fittingly tops the list. Perhaps it being entering it first is no coincidence?

Have you seen Gus Van Sant's "Gerry"? I think that has some of the most stunning shots I've ever seen.

Camera movement, audacity, alignment, colors, significance to theme, perspective; I try and imagine certain films having been shot the same way with a higher quality image. Celine and Cria happen to be perfect examples of that.

I'm wondering as to why you chose a few of the films on here. Celine and Julie Go Boating for one is a fantastic film, but it isn't exactly the most visually striking film in existence, same with Cria Cuervos. What makes you choose a film for the list?

you also need Jancso and his collaborations with Tamás Somló e.g. The Red and the White ;)

Nice list... plenty of stuff here that I've enjoyed or wish to see soon... Red Shoes is a nice and obvious addition.

Pretty good list.Some obvious misses:Fanny and Alexander,Andrei Rublev(come on,you have 5 Tarkovsky but not this one?)and,most of all,"Il Conformista",one of the most beatiful films in history of cinema.

Chris- I forgot how beautiful the lighting and sets were in Black Sabbath- would you recommend any of his other films?

May I suggest you take a look at the films of Mario Bava, his use of primary colors in the construction of his sets and costume design is really quite extraordinary, particularly when you take into the account how quickly he had to turn out his films. Quite an impressive list of films many which I know first hand and agree with your assessment.

Thank you very much, my friend, it's the tormenting element; everything that can be spoken by a character can be expressed to an even stronger degree with colors, objects, and cinematography. We connect to a character based on the amount of shadow, the level of the light, the surrounding, and for me, the way the camera follows them. If I can't connect visually, it is very hard for me to pass through.
