Personally I would have put : 1)Blade Runner 2049 2)Wolfwalkers 3)La La Land 4)Only Lovers Left Alive 5)The Tale of the Princess Kaguya 6)Dune 7)The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 8)The Tree of Life 9)Children of Men 10)Hero Honorable mentions : Life of Pi, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Master, Skyfall, Mad Max: Fury Road, Gravity and In the Mood for Love
For some reason, I've nevee been huge on Blade Runner 2049, it never gripped me the way it did most people, but Deakins absolutely killed it! Every frame from that movie is a wallpaper
Yeah I agree, but I’d argue the Nolan movie with the best cinematography is Dunkirk. Although Interstellar, Inception and even Tenet had some breathtaking cinematography too.
@@premiersketches3900this is not about the concept, its about the cinematogrophy. I personally like Interstellar more but yeah I get you. Also, I just came to know inception isn't really "unique" cuz many of its iconic shots are ripped off from Paprika the anime. So, I take my words back
A great list! Glad to see your video:) Road to Perdition is so gorgeous and such an underrated film. One of the best of 21st century. Another wonderful cinematography picks: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon O Brother Where Art Thou Kill Bill The Lord of the Rings The Aviator The Prestige Drive The Master Prisoners The Grand Budapest Hotel Sicario La La Land Moonlight Phantom Thread Dunkirk Midsommar A Hidden Life The Irishman The Lighthouse Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Awesome video. Missed your videos for the last three years. Amazing how many movies in this list are of Emanuele Lubezski. There should another video listing the top 10 cinematography credits of Emanuele lubezski .
Christopher Doyle absolutely needs to be on the main list either with Hero or In the mood for love. There are only 3 or 4 cinematographers whose status is equivalent to an A-list actor or an acclaimed director: Storaro, Chivo, Deakins and Christopher Doyle.
whaaat? No Grand Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson? That movie has a marvelous and unique cinematography, kinda sad now that you didn´t include him in the list. By the way, great list, and I think we can all agree that every movie with Roger Deakins can be considerate a masterpiece of cinematography haha
Although completely shot in a studio, 1) 2001 a Space Odyssey is a beautiful film to behold. A case could also be made for,2) Barry Lyndon. Location shooting worldwide is. 3) Sorcerer another gem. 4) Lawrence of Arabia is breathtaking.grand in scope. Take your pick, any of the three will suffice. 5) Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship is my first choice. Lighting and atmosphere is where 6)Frankenstein excels. For black and white I love, 7)The Man who Wasn't There. and of course 8) Citizen Kane. 9) Triangle is an enigma caught on film. 10) the scope and beauty of, Cloud Atlas makes it worthy of the list. Of course you have hit the majors so I avoided repetition.
Great list. Road to Perdition really caught me off guard as the no. 1 spot. Certain movies that I would've liked to see would be In the Mood for Love, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Enter the Void, The Lighthouse, and City of God.
My top 10 will be like (not ranked): 1. Blade Runner 2049 2. Inception 3. All Quiet on The Western Front 4. Interstellar 5. There Will Be Blood 6. The Prestige 7. 1917 8. The Revenant 9. The Dark Knight 10. Birdman
Yeah I totally agree, I’m glad to see Roma, blade runner 2049 and the assassination of Jesse James, not only are they some of the best looking films to come out in the 21st century, they’re some of the best looking films I have ever seen. I would personally include Terence Malick’s ‘the new world’ 2006 but you do already have a Terence Malick film here so that’s fair. Mad max as well is great
It's always a shame when Atonement, Marie Antoinette, and especially True Grit (a Roger Deakin's .masterpiece imo) get looked over. They are absolutely perfect films. I'm glad There Will Be Blood and Jesse James always get their dues though. The Acouste scene in 1917 with the reflection of the flare in the water with the destroyed town always gives me goose bumps
The ones who made this muct for some reason have missed In the Mood for Love. Any list such as this without that movie can't be taken wholly seriously. I would have liked Manchester by the Sea as well for it's more subtle camera work, but In the Mood is an absolute must.
The Fall, or any other Tarsem movie for that matter, not making the list is just crazy to me, but whoever made this list clearly has a preference. This doesn't take away from any other movie on the list of course, but I'd like to see more diversity.
@@SmashingUKProductions I know, but it wasn't a part of the list, but rather a honorable mention. I just felt the list is a bit heavy on continuous shots which are supposed to equal stunning cinematography.
My list Movies: Rogue one oblivion The batman Dune 300 Man of steel interstellar Harry potter and the prisoner of azkeban Harry potter and the deadly halows part 2 Harry potter and the goblet of fire The Green knight The northman Zack snyder Justice League Lord of the rings Trilogy The hobbit Trilogy pirates of the caribbean series John wick trilogy Kingdom of heaven Gladiator Avengers infity war Series : Peaky blinders Game of thrones The Mandalorian Loki Daredevil His dark materials Altered carbon Dark Stranger things Vikings Moon knight Hannibal
I find David lynchh movies cinematography great specially the curious case of Benjamin button And yeah there were so many films Two I watched recently the terminal, road to perdition And YES I KNOW ITS YOUR LIST Edit- 😐😂 I didn't see your number 1 spot before commenting now I am glad that you put it , I mean it is one of the beautiful shot movie I watched this year
I don't really think the behind the scenes complexity or wether they actually lit a scene with ditial lights or natural light is that relevant. What is important is the final product and the inherent quality it has.
Come on. Dune in total. Dune 2 for no 1. A universe imagined. An unfilmable magnum opus distilled, expanded and brought to life through its masterful filming.

Cuaron, Lubezki and Iñarritu. Mexican moviemakers are awesome
For some reason, I've nevee been huge on Blade Runner 2049, it never gripped me the way it did most people, but Deakins absolutely killed it! Every frame from that movie is a wallpaper
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has one of the most beautiful Cinematography ive seen in a movie
Fury (2014), I think it's cinematography is underrated. Average plot, saved by it's gorgeous cinematography.
Huang tudi and Red Sorghum are great. I love how the camera becomes part of storytelling.
Glad you are up and running again
I feel that Mad Max: Fury Road is up there. It was an exhilarating movie!
Amazingly beautiful films indeed! Good job.
IMO inception could well be replaced with Interstellar, but then Inception is just unique.
Yeah I agree, but I’d argue the Nolan movie with the best cinematography is Dunkirk. Although Interstellar, Inception and even Tenet had some breathtaking cinematography too.
Inception is way more stunning than other Nolan films including interstellar
@@premiersketches3900this is not about the concept, its about the cinematogrophy. I personally like Interstellar more but yeah I get you. Also, I just came to know inception isn't really "unique" cuz many of its iconic shots are ripped off from Paprika the anime. So, I take my words back
No inception is way better and stunning than interstellar
When it comes to cinematography 1917 is the best.
Very fine picks, Deakins and Lubezki is one of the greatest visionaries of all time. Keep it up the good work, can’t wait for the next video.
This is an awesome list.."Children of Men" car scene, and the long cut battle scene towards the end of the movie... Mind blown🤯
I won't argue with you giving the No 1 spot to Road to Perdition. The visuals have a raw quality to it.
RIP Conrad Hall
Emmanuel Lubezki is everywhere on this list, I love it!
A great list! Glad to see your video:)
Road to Perdition is so gorgeous and such an underrated film. One of the best of 21st century.
Another wonderful cinematography picks:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
O Brother Where Art Thou
Kill Bill
The Lord of the Rings
The Aviator
The Prestige
Drive
The Master
Prisoners
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Sicario
La La Land
Moonlight
Phantom Thread
Dunkirk
Midsommar
A Hidden Life
The Irishman
The Lighthouse
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Thank God, The Assassination of Jesse James is in this list! Probably one of the best and beautiful looking movies of all time.
Great picks bro ❤
Having Denis and Deakins in a film is just overkill…
All quiet on the western front is underrated
Wow! Road to Perdition…..I wasn’t expecting that. Cool!
Very accurate, though I would perhaps alter the order imo. Grandes artistas mexicanos!!
Awesome video. Missed your videos for the last three years. Amazing how many movies in this list are of Emanuele Lubezski. There should another video listing the top 10 cinematography credits of Emanuele lubezski .
Thanks for the suggestion, we may look at doing this list in the coming weeks!
@@SmashingUKProductions Also, try Roger A. Deakins. He and Chivo are the OGs of cinematography.
@@rickardkaufman3988 Definitely, goes without saying. Think Mr. Deakins definitely deserves a list.
JUST LOVED IT MAN..THANK YOU SO MUCH
What is the soundtrack 3:42 called?
Christopher Doyle absolutely needs to be on the main list either with Hero or In the mood for love. There are only 3 or 4 cinematographers whose status is equivalent to an A-list actor or an acclaimed director: Storaro, Chivo, Deakins and Christopher Doyle.
You missed In the mood for love(director: wong kar wai)
Great job 👏🏼
You have a great list. A couple of ppl in the comments mentioned Life of Pi. I couldn't agree more. Also Nomadland gets a nod in my book.
Excellent picks! #1 made me go 😬😬😬
Complete agree about there will be blood winning over the assassination of Jesse James. It's hard to take the Oscars seriously sometimes!
There Will Be Blood is a Masterpiece
@@miguelrivera5430 would actually agree but not when compared to the TAOJJBTCRF
whaaat? No Grand Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson? That movie has a marvelous and unique cinematography, kinda sad now that you didn´t include him in the list. By the way, great list, and I think we can all agree that every movie with Roger Deakins can be considerate a masterpiece of cinematography haha
Your honorable mentions were the best ones. Also, the movie with best "rain scene" is "The Grand Master" staring Zhang Ziyi.
did not expect road to perdition on here at all but totally deserved, insane film
Very valuable.. Thankyou

Ad Astra is my personal favorite
MAN OF STEEL ❤❤
Macbeth 2015
Hands down #1 for cinematography
Imo
Chelk out the movie 'Angamali diaries ' there is 11min single shot climax
Scorsese’s “Silence” should easily be on this list tbh. One of the best looking movies of the 21st century
I'm surprised to see Brazil was not mentioned
'Brazil' was released in 1985, this list is looking at films from the 21st century. Thanks for the comment!
Samsara guys one of the beautiful movie i have ever watched
We'll be surd to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion!
It's not a narrative film though.
I think Dunkirk must be in top 4
Life of Pi was the best for me. It was simply beautiful!!!
I fully agree
dope vid..
It's always a shame when Atonement, Marie Antoinette, and especially True Grit (a Roger Deakin's .masterpiece imo) get looked over. They are absolutely perfect films. I'm glad There Will Be Blood and Jesse James always get their dues though.
The Acouste scene in 1917 with the reflection of the flare in the water with the destroyed town always gives me goose bumps
my already endless admiration for lubezkis work has just gotten that much bigger
The ones who made this muct for some reason have missed In the Mood for Love. Any list such as this without that movie can't be taken wholly seriously. I would have liked Manchester by the Sea as well for it's more subtle camera work, but In the Mood is an absolute must.
Nice....explain
I will somewhat forgive this video for coming out before Greig Fraser entered into prominence with his spectacular work in Dune and the Batman.
You should update this now that Dune 2 is out. The cinematography there is mind bending
Collateral (2004) is my favourite movie with amazing cinematography.
The Fall is my #1 for cinematography.
I thought there's be Antichrist and the neon demon . Road to Perdition is absolutely the best
The Fall, or any other Tarsem movie for that matter, not making the list is just crazy to me, but whoever made this list clearly has a preference. This doesn't take away from any other movie on the list of course, but I'd like to see more diversity.
'The Fall' is at 7:23.
@@SmashingUKProductions I know, but it wasn't a part of the list, but rather a honorable mention. I just felt the list is a bit heavy on continuous shots which are supposed to equal stunning cinematography.
The Revenant
3:43
dune would be on this list
It is a very beautiful film.
If I recall correctly the 7 minute sequence in children of men had a cut though, since you have splatter "disappear" from the camera.
Indeed you are correct, it appears about 5 minutes in to the shot.
Dunkirk could be in this list too, the movie is just a war masterpiece
My list
Movies:
Rogue one
oblivion
The batman
Dune
300
Man of steel
interstellar
Harry potter and the prisoner of azkeban

No love for The Master? I thought it was a very beautifully shot movie.

Anyone who puts ROMA on their list … gets an A+
I'd have to put Sunshine in top 3
Roger Deakins is the GOAT of 21st century cinematography
Life of pi anyone??
I find David lynchh movies cinematography great specially the curious case of Benjamin button
And yeah there were so many films
Two I watched recently the terminal, road to perdition
And YES I KNOW ITS YOUR LIST
Edit- 😐😂 I didn't see your number 1 spot before commenting now I am glad that you put it , I mean it is one of the beautiful shot movie I watched this year
Curious Case Of Benjamin Button was David Fincher, not David Lynch
dude...
b r u h
Joker
True Grit (2010)
Prisoners
Sicario
Gravity
The Lighthouse
I love how Roger Deakins and Emmanuel Lubezki literally dominate this list
I know this video is about films, but Better Call Saul has the best cinematography that I have ever seen.
La La Land❤❤❤
I don't really think the behind the scenes complexity or wether they actually lit a scene with ditial lights or natural light is that relevant. What is important is the final product and the inherent quality it has.
Interstellar is incredible as well
No Zack Snyder?
black panther 2 also has great cinematography
Come on. Dune in total. Dune 2 for no 1. A universe imagined. An unfilmable magnum opus distilled, expanded and brought to life through its masterful filming.
Schindler list
Damn no David Fincher films is crazy.
Sleepy hollow is nice with it
I think that mr glass should be in your list
Its seems like most of the movies are here because “one take shot”. I mean it’s impressive, but really? Come on
You forgot Daren Aronofsky's The Fountain (2006)
I feel moonlight has the beat cinematogtaphy
Babylon ❤
The best I think is The Fountain a film by Daren Arenosky
Mad Max: Fury Road as well.
I think "Saving Private Ryan" has the best Cinematography IMHO
There Will Be Blood Top One for me
Great Gatsby
