Vilander Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Its a loose definition but the below spring to mind Avatar Life of pie Sucker punch Lord of the rings trilogy Hobbits trilogy Marvel movies. Esp the avengers series.
Vilander Posted June 28, 2020 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.

Jimmy Cliff Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Or pretty much anything by Roger Deakins in the last couple of decades.
zen Posted June 28, 2020 Author 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.
sandeep Posted June 28, 2020 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.
Gollum Posted June 28, 2020 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.....

Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Citizen kane - lighting and framing at its best
zen Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Below is a nice take on visually striking films:

The Realist Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Some more recent films: The Handmaiden Mad Max: Fury Road Sicario The Revenant Interstellar Ex Machina I Saw The Devil
