- Part Two - • Films Every Aspiring C...
Something that would have helped me out a few years ago, would have been a basic list of must-watch films, where I could have learned about what who we look up to today, grew up with, how cinematographers used to tell stories through images, and what the gold standard of lighting is.
As always if you have a recommendation for an analysis, let me know below!

Hey all, really appreciate all the comments and I've had some amazing recommendations for future videos! But for those of you that keep reminding me that I have no taste or I missed a vital piece of cinema from the 60s, keep in mind this is a video aimed at beginners who may be intimidated by those kinds of films, I intended for this video to be an open introduction to people interested in becoming a cinematographer or filmmaker and put a lot of time into thinking about films that really helped me decide on this path.
If you want a video that looks at more 'obscure' movies, check out part two and later parts!
need to add the Place Beyond the Pines, way underrated film but is done so well
@@randyreynolds4252 great movie. Really loved the pace, it felt as reading a book.
Antonioni's Italian films are a masterclass in composition.
Great choices, though I don’t think any cinematography list is truly complete without Persona. Bergman was always a master of faces but that film is really the pinnacle of his and Nykvist’s skills.
How did I forget that! I've even got shots in my own films influenced by Persona, will 100% be in the next video!
lovely list, I wish you explained things a little bit more, maybe giving more historical details or gave examples of scenes and why they are good, you have a beautifully calming voice and you don't need to rush the subject
Thanks!
I was just in a bit of a rush this week so I needed to make something a bit shorter, but I'm trying to start taking more time with each video, I'm just cautious about it being purely filler.
Thanks for the feedback :)
@@AngusDaviesDP on this subject, since I’ve commented something similar before, I don’t think that you need to include a lot of filler, but maybe you could expound on ideas or use more examples within the same film, as well as dicussing more in-depth concepts. I feel like we scratch the surface of high level stuff, but never dive too much further.
Short video around 5 mins , great title , not a click bait but intellectually capturing Title all a formula for capturing viewers, seems like an insult to intelligent people.
0:54
- Barry Lyndon
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Citizen Kane
- The Godfather
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
2:18
- The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari
- The Passion of Joan of Arc
- Fantasia
- 12 Angry Men
- Contempt
3:45
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Se7en
- In The Mood for Love
- The Rider
- The Lighthouse
Thanks
Barry Lydon might just be the most underrated Kubrick film. 2001, The Shining, and Strangelove are common citations for people's favorite films. Barry Lyndon seemed to fly under the radar for a lot of people and I am glad you mentioned it as a must see. Maybe it is because the run time is long and the pacing can be slow that Lyndon isn't as praised, but the cinematography is incredible and I find it incredibly entertaining. It also showcases Kubrick's kind of strange sense of humor at times.
I don't want to say underrated because it is Kubrick, but like you say it flies under the radar for a lot of people when it comes to him, especially since it isn't as mainstream as his other films.
I said that in another comment! It's almost like a comedy film, albeit a dark one.
Great list. In The Mood For Love is a fantastic example. More people need to see this movie.
Couldn't agree more!
@@AngusDaviesDP Short video around 5 mins , great title , not a click bait but intellectually capturing Title all a formula for capturing viewers, seems like an insult to intelligent people.
Such a great list, thank you. Some films I need to see.
Glad you enjoyed!
Had never really thought how good Shawshank looked before so thanks. If you want cinematography to tell you a story The cranes are flying is really worth a watch.
Lovely! I have a few suggestions that have influenced me; Cries and Whispers for how it uses color, Fatal Attraction for framing/composition in very cramped environments (most of it was filed on location, Klute for very evocative and affective lighting, Carrie (1976) for how it usually mess movement and odd angles to tell it’s story, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) for how the environment dictates the films style and color choices :)
I've only seen a couple of those so I'll have to check the rest out, but I fully agree with Carrie and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo!
I imagine a few of these will be in the next video :)
lot of time i've said that this channel is criminally underrated ,my advance congratulations for 1million subscribers ❤
Really appreciate it!!
Fantastic recommendations!
Excellent list to work from. Definitely worth rewatching these films for both their stories and their cinematography. I haven't seen "Contempt", "The Passion of Joan of Arc" and "In The Mood for Love", yet. So, I've got some catching up to do. Thanks for putting this together.
I wish I could watch all these again for the first time. Enjoy!
Nice essay mate, keep it comming.
Appreciate it!
JOHN FORD’S THE SEARCHERS, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, THE GRAPES OF WRATH AND THE LATEST MACBETH WITH DENZEL WASHINGTON ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE GEMS OF CINEMATOGRAPHY.
Superb stuff. I really do need to see Lyndon. Solid list, I’ll happily subscribe. Fare thee well.
AWESOME VIDEO! Thanks for your recommendation.
Glad it was helpful!
@@AngusDaviesDP I couldn't tell you how much I love your channel!
I did enjoy this video!!
I would add Seven Samurai, 8-1/2, North by Northwest, Fight Club, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Make sure to watch Sunday's video then!
One for me that I love, in addition to all the Bergman comments lol, is The Color of Pomegranates. Really love how striking it is, not the best cinematography of all time, but certainly unique.
I would add Michael Mann's "Thief" (1981) for how it uses the night and the city of Chicago skyline as a backdrop. You would see it again in "Heat" only with Los Angeles and more daylight shots.
Malick is known for the look of his films. I would use as an example one if his early films "Days of Heaven". Another example is an early little known film by Polanski called "Knife in the Water". It all takes place in a small boat on the water. Top notch.
very good picks
I love these movies. One suggestion for analysis is "The Third man" by Carol Reed/Robert Krasker. The B/W cinematography is outstanding.
I think I saw that a few years ago, I'll have to check it out again! Although I can already tell there's a video in there :)
Oh, EXCELLENT choice! One of my all time favorites for style of shooting, writing as well as original music. WELL DONE! AGREED!!
Certainly a great list. I'd offer The Elephant Man as an addition. The fact that you scarcely notice that the scenes are NOT actually lit by the natural sources (lanterns, candles, etc) is worthy of note.
One thing I found odd. You talked about 'how you can tell a story without words, even if it is animation.' Surely animation excels at this - I would think that when the artist controls every aspect of the image, including the content/lighting/composition, etc. it is easier to do well than when you have to wrangle real elements into your frame with the same measure of control.
There was a movie from 1979 called Black stallion. The second half of the movie was like a very good Disney movie however the first half was almost magical. In the first half there is almost no dialogue. It's an extremely visual movie. The cinema photographer was Caleb Deschanel. The film also won the 1979 National Society of Film Critics award for Best Cinematography. I'm glad you mentioned the Shawshank redemption. That movie was like a fine watch. I also loved that you mentioned Ryan's daughter. If I had to add two movies to list I would add the movie Brazil and Dr. Strangelove.
Great list. I'm by no means a film maker. I know that one of the most beautifully shots films in in recent years for me is Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Every scene could be a painting.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire is quite possibly the most beautifully shot film of the past decade
There Will Be Blood is my favorite film when it comes to cinematography. It's the best naturally lit film in my opinion especially in the modern era. Elswit didn't even put in any post production work to the image because PTA wanted it as natural as possible. It's also a masterclass in composition
It's such a stunning watch. I really should have listed more films in this video, but I wanted it to be rather short. PTA will be making a strong appearance in the next video though, his and Elswit's work was always incredible.
I think when you make a list like this there will always be omissions! My sense is it should be a film that I want to go out and buy a projector and rewatch! Paris, Texas is one film i loved due to the beautiful visuals and compelling story. In the mood for love was visually stunning but I didn't really find the story that compelling. Thanks for the list. Yet to watch Lyndon or Godfather..
Oh it's impossible for there not to be! That's a great way to put it, I'd love to see Persona projected one day :)
I can see that when it comes to In The Mood for Love, it's visually striking, but the story is a bit messy...
Glad you liked it!
Highly honorable mention: Amelie, Once Upon a Time in The West, 1917, Schindler's List, Rashumon, Das Boot
Short video around 5 mins , great title , not a click bait but intellectually capturing Title all a formula for capturing viewers, seems like an insult to intelligent people.
1917? Idk, looks like an iPhone video.
Thank you!
Yeah good choices, those films have great atmos. They do make you part of the film.
surprised this channel doesn't have more subs--I thought I was watching a video from some 2mil youtuber--great work!
Glad you like the content! Thanks :)
'The Servant' (1963) is an absolute must watch film for anyone interested in cinematography.
100%!
great list
Glad you think so!
Great video! you've got a new subscriber! I love the font of the thumbail as well, if you don't mind what font is it called? :)
Thanks! Appreciate it :)
That would be *Normande BT* It's one of my favourites
@@AngusDaviesDP Thanks for sharing! Next time i stumble into a nice unique font ill share it with you in the comments of your next video ;)
Another film you might consider adding to your list is Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven.
Hi. Interesting list. I wouldn't have put a lot of these films on there but it is a good list! Joan of Arc for cinematography is very interesting and inspired I feel and I'm happy that part of it is highlighted. The ending has some of the best shots ever. I think your point of including it is to highlight the filming of the human face which seems like a good lesson to cinematographers who might lose sight of that with framing shots. I recommend you check out Marketa Lazarová if you haven't for it's underseen life-changing cinematography.
Hey, It's more of a list of what inspired me and what I think could help others, as anyone can look at an IMDb list and check films off. Glad you liked the list though! Joan of Arc was really something, I still think about it most days when I'm on set actually.
I haven't heard of that one before, but I'll definitely be checking it out soon! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Nice list! I would add, at a minimum, The Cranes are Flying(1957) lensed by the visual genius Sergey Urusevsky and The Conformist (1970) lensed by the incomparable Vittorio Storaro.
Amelie, one of my favourites, also No Country for Old Men
Love both of those!
The dune is silent, but for the murmur of a soft breeze. You kneel down and run your fingers through the sand, your hand like a tongue tasting the emotion locked in every grain. A symphony of a thousand subtle yet distinct emotions washes over you. Somehow it all computes in the vastness of your mind. It’s like you raked your tongue through the depths of her turbulent psyche.
Your eyes well up and a tear rolls down your face.
A loud crack of thunder, like a gunshot, startles you from above, and the sky begins to pour with heavy rain. The sound of rain soothes your soul. The landscape - or, really, your mindscape - feels enchanted, exactly as you want it to be.
Le Samourai, High and Low, Good Morning, Memories of Murder - some of my favourites :D
1:18 This scene is actually from The Godfather Part III, which nobody would consider a masterpiece, but it is a well framed shot. All your picks are great films and among my favorites. A few that I also love and would consider must see for aspiring filmmakers as they have the criteria for great visuals and storytelling:
Seven Samurai
Apocalypse Now
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Baraka
Hero
Blade Runner
The Last Emperor
Schindler's List
The Thin Red line
Spirited Away
I tried not to repeat your directors choices, but Coppola has to be mentioned again for Apocalypse now as virtually every scene is a work of art.
Yeah I realised that after... It was still lensed by Willis though! Glad you liked the list though :)
Thanks for the recommendations, there are a couple on there I'm yet to see (Baraka and The Thin Red Line), but all of the others I couldn't agree more with, especially Apocalypse Now!
It's always good to see The Thin Red Line get a nod.
superb selection, im team kubrik naturally but a good way to see great examples is to push the boat out and look at world cinema. belgian director fabrice du welz "calvaire" is amazing. west african film "the fisherman". and from the tartan asia extreme series of videos release " the happiness of the katakuri's" would be high on my list. there are also some films that just have one or two outstanding shots like predator's one shot camera movement from high above the forest canopy down under the tree's to ground height and into a character scene. how that was done ill never know, presumably a cut somewhere between a heli shot and a boom shot but it feels like an invisible cut.
when first watching the Godfather I knew the cinematography was excellent, but the zoom in shot where Michael Corleone is sat with a broken jaw discussing how to assassinate the police chief and Sollozzo, is perfetto! Ultimate foreshadowing of the character becoming the Godfather in the end
A question: From what film is the painted shot at 0:30? It looks gorgeous...
Also: A great list. Wonderful starting point for further explorations (and I love that THE CONFORMIST made it into the second part - to me it's Storaro's masterpiece).
Fantasia (1940)!
Thanks :) It is, I didn't think this video would get as many views as it did so I only made it a short one, but like you say, it's a great starting point!
Nicolas Winding Refn has made some pretty good films in terms of cinematography, like the Pusher films, Bleeder and Fear X.
Pusher is a brilliant one to mention! But I wouldn't be able to skip over The Neon Demon
The cinematography of Only God Forgives is amazing
beautiful
Good list. In terms of sheer beauty, you could have also picked Néstor Almendros' work on Days of Heaven... and featured at least one Italian. Maybe Vittorio Storaro for Apocalypse Now, or Otello Martelli for La Dolce Vita. All three of these movies could easily have been included in your first section about masterpieces, for instance, but of course lists are exclusionary by design. Another masterful Italian was Gianni Di Venanzo, whose slightly lesser known work on Antonioni's La Notte (1961) or l'Eclisse (1962) rivals any of those other films. In terms of using cinematography to turn back the clock, outside of Barry Lyndon, the movie that most impressed me was Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev. Cinematographer Vadim Yusov at times almost has you convinced that they somehow had cameras in Russia back in the fourteen hundreds. And as for impressive somewhat more recent films, Robert D. Yeoman's photography on Drugstore Cowboy is one that is both largely unsung and a personal favorite. Also Robby Müller is the shit. His use of colored lighting and singular style in Paris, Texas is unmatched. Phantom Thread and Roma were both gorgeously shot by the directors themselves, in recent years, which is an interesting turn of events. And Edward Lachman did a very convincing 16mm homage to Saul Leiter, and other photographers of the mid twentieth century, in Todd Hayne's 2015 Patricia Highsmith adaptation Carol... So many to chose from, how do you even begin to make a list? PS: I love Raoul Coutard's colorful French Riviera look even more in Pierro le Fou than I do in Contempt.
The Conformist is the film that always finds its way into these cinematography lists, but I still haven't seen that one.
We should also have a video about important paintings an aspiring cinematographer needs to study
Yes!!
The Incredibles - pitch perfect control over a wide variety of genres (from Action to Comedy), delivers on dialogue scenes or intimate personal moments as well as on huge scale set pieces and all within a consistent visual style that truly stands out (and also really works within the story's world). Truly a filmmaking masterclass beginning to end. Just my thoughts though.
lol
great list but especially for cinematographers Emmanuel Lubezki's work on Tree of Life is a must. He pictures humans with a sensibility like nobody else. Also generally the film is a great entry point for poetic filmmaking in the likes of Tarkovsky, Bergman, Antonioni, Kiarostami and in my book a must watch.
I think I'm going to have to make a 'Chivo's Essentials' list, with The Tree of Life being at the top of course.
Great point on it being a good entry point for more classical filmmakers as well!
Different cinematographer, but Malick's Days of Heaven is probably the most beautiful movie I've ever seen.
You can't leave out Robert Richardson, the list of movies he's done is insane. He's consistently worked with Scorsese, Oliver Stone and has been Tarantino's go to in every film since Kill Bill.
He's one of my favourite DP's too, but there are just too many films to mention, he'll make strong appearances in the next few parts!
In my mind it’s hard to make a great movie without great cinematography. My fave atm is Children of men.
True, there are many good movies with subpar visuals, but for a great film, everything has to be great
Lubezki .. the master in filming the human condition.
I would consider adding the royal tennanbaums and meshes of the afternoon by maya deren
I was between The Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic for the next video, but I think I'm leaning more towards Tenenbaums...
Haven't heard of Meshes of the Afternoon though, looks really interesting!
It really depends on the filmmaker. For me it was Following, Eraserhead, 2001 and V For Vendetta. Don’t know why but they get my cinematography and director senses tingling.
Awesome video
Appreciate it!
After Tarkovsky, three Bela Tarr Films have some of the best Cinematography I've ever seen:
Damnation
Satantango
Werkmeister Harmonies
& for some reason his work is very slept on in America.
I really need to find the time for Satantango! Would you say it's a film you could watch in parts?
@@AngusDaviesDP Yes certainly, the first time I saw it I watched it in two parts.
I really really like this video, but I would've loved for it to be at least twice the lenght!
I have a few suggestions Return on the jedi, Ewok adventure, Flash Gordon
I would have picked Black Narcissus for color cinematography and the Pumpkin Eater for framing. And obviously Barry Lyndon over all. The more think about it the more I can think of.
Black Narcissus was close to being in the video! I ended up opting against it for whatever reason, but it always comes to mind when thinking about early colour cinematography. Haven't heard of The Pumpkin Eater though, I'll have to check it out!
Off topic, but does anyone know what is the font of “watch these films” on the video picture?
Normande BT
Netflix: "Use whatever you like we just de-sat it anyway"
For me one of the best of movies is a Blade Runner.❤
Thanks.
One eyed jacks directed by Marlon Brando if you get a good quality file of it (not the amazon prime one) I think youtube has a HD rip of it. One of the most amazing films as far as beautiful cinematography. The shots of the california coast look like they were filmed today despite being 70 years ago.
It does have a rip of it...
Thanks for the recommendation, seeing as though it's on TH-cam, I'll be sure to check it out!
@@AngusDaviesDP right on.. 1 hour and 45 minutes in has my favorite shot. But the last half of the movie is what im talking about, takes place on the coast. Lots of beautiful shots of characters on the beach in california etc.
in the mood for love probably the most well shot movie of 21st century along with Samsara(2011)
whats the name of the film 4:41 ?
Here's some other movies (purely from cinematography point in my opinion):
Earth 1930 (dir. Dovzhenko)
Mirror 1975 (Tarkovsky/Rerberg)
Seventh Seal 1957
Cries and Whispers 1972
Come and See 1985
Berlin Alexanderplatz 1980
Veronika Voss 1982
Three Colors: Blue 1994
Le Bonheur 1965
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors 1965
The Color of Pomegranates 1969 (1970)
Khrustalyov, My Car! 1998 (US blu ray release has really bad audio de-sync, up to 1 sec at the end of movie)
The Wishing Tree 1977
Repentance 1984/1986
Commissar 1967
Finis Terræ 1929
Masculin Feminin 1966
Pierrot le Fou 1965
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang 1932
Le Diable probablement 1977
L'Argent 1983
Equinox Flower 1958
Davandeh 1984
A Letter Never Sent 1960
Salt for Svanetia 1930
The Lonely Voice of Man 1978/1987 (sadly, only poor quality copy available at the moment, there was a new restoration, it's only played in cinemas in Russia from time to time, but no info on possible blu ray release, last time I spoke with director (somewhere around 2017) he told me that he don't have the money/resources to release it).
The list is a mess, I just brought up movies from my memory quite sporadically, sorry (and probably forgot a lot).
Thanks for the in depth list! There are a few of here I haven't even heard of which is embarrassing, but I'll be sure to check them out over the next few months!
@@AngusDaviesDP oh don't be embarrassed by that, people can't know everything! :) There's some movies from late USSR or early Russia which doesn't have any translation and I wanted to make reviews on that, but there's no way you can legally obtain the copies, and even torrents doesn't have English subtitles, and my English is far from the level that you need for making translations, sadly. Anyway, there's really good documentary on Dinara Asanova, the director barely known in the West, she's Kyrgyz origin and worked mainly in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), she did social dramas in a very special "on the nerve" movie language, especially in her last two movies "Tough kids" 1983 and "Dear, Dearest, Beloved, Unique..." 1985. There's a really good BBC documentary about her, from the TV series "Comrades", you can find it on youtube with title "COMRADES Leningrad Sphinx1".
I would argue that anyone behind a camera, photographers included, would benefit from watching these films. Great video!
@@curiositytax9360 you must be a blast at parties. There are plenty of takeaways for photographers. Color grading, use of shadows, framing and composition. How do you NOT get that?
@@curiositytax9360 I hope you heal from what ever it is that's causing you pain. Take care, man.
sleeping beauty has a lot of silence and reminds me a lot of fantasia. doesn't get enough credit
I would add some kurosawa and johnnie to films also
What about Once upon a time in america
I will recommend Millennium Mambo by Hou Hsiao-Hsien.
Drive (2011). Nicholas Winding Refn, Newton Thomas Sigel.
Add every Tarkovsky film as well.
The original Blade Runner & Road To Perdition too
Blade Runner will be in the next video!
Wasn't that Conrad Hall's last film?
@@AngusDaviesDP Jordan Cronenweth
Hostiles (2017) is one of the most beautiful films I have seen. Also check out Spielberg's West Side Story, La La Land and The Revenant.
Loved the look of Hostiles!
I've seen all of those (and have a video on the last two), but West Side Story really stood out to me, the camera movement in that film was outstanding!
This video is way too short - I was hoping to get my teeth into some analysis of these great works! This just teased me!
Sorry about that! I'm working on maker longer ones, but I'm just so against filler in videos like this, although I may be going too far. Hopefully today's video is a lot more filling!
@@AngusDaviesDP Cheers! Looking forward to it!
Appreciate you making the list Angus! I just wish Tree of Life made it on there
Glad you liked it!
It might make an appearance in the next video...
check out Parajanov, The Color of Pomgranates
❤
Le Mepris - it's a good looking film, not sure it's the most interesting though. It just accelerates wildly at the end. I thought I'd see some Godard in here. In fact, European and Asian cinema make some of the best looking films onscreen. I love Tokyo Story and where is Ran? I'd like to see you talk about the use of colour in film to convey messages etc.
It's just one that's stuck with me and influenced bits of my work. Granted I could have picked a better Godard.
I've got a couple more Asian films in the next video, but it seems as though this series is going to be going on for a while...
Seems a shame to not include a Haskell Wexler ("Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"). And all the movies mentioned look great, but I also think there's always too much focus on "postcard" cinematography. Crisp, colorful vistas and mega-sets ("..Arabia" and "...Lyndon"). Esp for the post 1970 movies...no one mentions the more subtle, portrait (like you mention Joan of Arc) work that propels the stories and emotions. sooo...I'd offer "The Verdict", "Fresh", "Philomena",
I really appreciate your feedback! Looking back I included way too much, as you put it, postcard cinematography, but it was what influenced me to become a DP. Part two to this video will include, what I think, are a lot more visually captivating and meaningful films that I watched later on down the line.
Cant believe you didnt include Ida.
I wish I could relive the experience of watching 12 Angry Men for the first time again
You and me both!
*Correction* 1:18 Pardon me, but that scene is not from The Godfather.
You're right! It's from Barry Lyndon
@@AngusDaviesDP My mistake. I mean 1:18. That's from the third movie, which doesn't compare to the first two films.
The Duellists by Ridley Scott
Yeah, the Rider is incredible. Nomadland, not so much.
You forgot the concequences of love.
Darjeeling limited!
I recommend HERO starring Jet Li.
Mallick's Badlands
Hero.
I feel like you could just shortcut this list by just watching Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul
The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Jaws, Blade Runner, and West Side Story.
Jaws is one I haven't seen mentioned before, but I completely agree with you!
@@AngusDaviesDP Yes, the screenplay, the score and Speilberg's direction are all a lesson for any budding filmaker in my opinion.
Thank you Angus. No Tree of Life? No Revenant?
Lubezki needs his own video! Although I will say I should have included him here...
Make more similar lists
Coming soon!
Chivo is essential in modern cinematography. Him and Malick popularized the wide angle shots
He is, I was between The Rider and Knight of Cups, and decided on the former, but rest assured there are going to be several films shot by Lubezki in the next video!
@@AngusDaviesDP I should correct myself, it's wide angle lens not shots. Plenty of cinematographers do wide angle shots.
So why don't we get films competitive with these today? All these films are 45yrs or older. Is it the cost to get cinematography like this combined with the pressure to bring in revenue on big budget films? The over-reliance on CGI?
Maybe instead of two Kubrick films, you could include one film by Kubrick and one by Tarkovsky.
I haven't delved too much into Tarkovsky yet, but I really wish I would have included Stalker or Mirror.
