Vilander Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I loved skyfall. I generally dislike james bond movies. That Aston martin scene. The scotland scene. The final killing scene last rat standing. The theme music Adele. Epic movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 There are movies which I have not watched or do not recall much such as The Fall, Tree of Life, Hero, etc., which are rated highly too for visual elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandeep Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I thought Detective Byomkesh Bakshi was visually striking as well - the art direction in that movie was absolutely top shelf. Its a shame that movie didn't set up a franchise. And a shame that the lead actor passed away in unfortunate circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'll list 10 Eng, 10 from foreign+Indian cinema, otherwise list can get very long Lawrence of Arabia The Last Emperor Ten Commandments Dances With Wolves Doctor Zhivago The Aviator Life of Pi Mad Max Fury Road Interstellar The Grand Budapest Hotel Hero Farewell My Concubine Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring Amelie Tumbbad Merku Thodarchi Malai Papanasam Devdas Parineeta Another day I might have another list. Even here I have left out RDB, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Natasamrat, Baishe Srabon, Dil Chahta Hai, some Iranian movies etc. So so tough.....

Just because CGI was "unprecedentedly" good, doesn't make it visually 'striking'. Edited July 14, 2020 by sandeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
