10 Movies All Photographers Should Watch!

[@TatianaHopper]

📌 What movies would you like to add to this list?

[@DecentGatsby]

“Limbo” - Ben Sharrock “Beginning” “Call me by your name” “It follows” Not the best movies in the world but visually and compositionally gifted

[@leplasti]

"Goodbye Dragon Inn" - Tsai Ming-Liang "Stalker" and "The Mirror" - Andrei Tarkovsky "The Spirit of the Beehive" - Víctor Erice (and many others!)

[@TatianaHopper]

@@DecentGatsbywill check them out!

[@TatianaHopper]

@@leplastiloved the last 3 movies you quoted, I’m not sure if I watched the first one, Victor Erice’s work is severely underrated!

[@TatianaHopper]

@Mercury-jq1pzI get you! Ahah man his noirs are something to die for. No pun intended.

[@alanwilliams9842]

Not a movie but a series, I would add Ripley. Beautiful cinematography.

[@TatianaHopper]

Man oh man! I watched that last weekend and I wanted to make a video on it, so good!

[@andgainingspeed]

The look is the only reason I've gotten through 4 episodes so far. The story is dragging.

[@TatianaHopper]

I actually really liked the slow burn style but I get it might be a bit too slow at times

[@andgainingspeed]

@@TatianaHopper The first episode was a treat despite the slow setup, because of BW NYC was all working. Then we get to Italy and I'm torn a bit because I'm thinking about the possibility of warm colors. The inclusion of Caravaggio is pretty cool. Maybe because I watched the Damon movie and know the plot, I'm getting none of the suspense, and twice the dread? 😅

[@TatianaHopper]

Ahah yeah I can see where you’re coming from. I actually didn’t watch the Damon version or at least not that I can remember, I remember watching a version with John Malkovich and another version with Alain Delon.

[@mid90s75]

Honestly, you should create a channel just about movies and filmmaking you really really know how to talk about them and I could actually see you as a critic kind of an Anthony Fantano of movies ahah

[@TatianaHopper]

Hmm that’s not a bad idea at all! 🫡 fantano of movies had me laughing haha

[@fukolombobby]

Just do it on this channel lots of photographers really appreciate storytelling through composition and cinematography

[@JHurrenPhotography]

Cheung King Express! I just shot a scene recreation assignment for a group assignment in moving image class. What an exercise in lighting. Our production was very successful. looking forward to actually watching the whole film, after intently studying this one bar scene. Tatiana, as always, your channel is so excellent. I'm so grateful for what you do! Cheers!

[@andgainingspeed]

In the Mood for Love also manages to use normal focal lengths while shooting in very tiny flats and spaces, without feeling claustrophobic, and coming up with strong compositions.

[@TatianaHopper]

Great added piece of information! Thanks!

[@rogerhyland8283]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJmXfoRur6aSjMksi=kCwVOm_D9hMXf_Db this is a great video on choosing and using lenses. The Revenant all being shot on 12mm & 14mm lenses was astounding but i never felt it was strange or distorted reality when i saw it. It seemed very natural.

[@JoshHarrisPhotography]

Paris Texas is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. It blindsided me and I haven’t been the same since. It also got me to discover Wim Wenders’ stand-alone photography. He has a photo book on the American West (because of course, Germans) that inspired me in my own photography. Great video.

[@richardlautens7723]

The Third Man by Orson Wells-some amazing cinematography and lighting. Every frame is an incredible photo on its own. The use of the Dutch Tilt is remarkable.

[@TatianaHopper]

Agreed!

[@vinylisland6386]

Carol Reed, actually.

[@danlightened]

I'm so glad to have found you! I keep telling beginner photographers to watch high quality films. Every frame you put up is so gorgeous! The top directors and cinematographs are just something else. It's hard to even comprehend the level they're operating on.

[@ZonkerRoberts]

i teach photography at a university here in Boston and the film I always recommend to students is "The Third Man" (1949). Amazing stuff.

[@TatianaHopper]

Agreed, a great example! I decided not to include it because I had seen it always been referenced in many videos so I wanted to reference different movies :)

[@andrewgallup3890]

Yes indeed. Also, In the Heat of the Night.

[@Nitidus]

One film that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere under this video and which absolutely *has* to be seen if you're a photographer is _Himmel über Berlin,_ English adaptation is _Wings of Desire,_ by Wim Wenders. I posted about it in the analog subreddit back when I watched it myself and people were blown away!

[@TatianaHopper]

Wings of Desire is a must I agree, I need to actually make a video about it, I loved it so much!

[@cathywilliams9629]

A Single Man -2009 directed by fashion designer Tom Ford. Beautiful cinematography!

[@Dzsimi]

One that always immediately comes to my mind is The lighthouse from 2019. Blaschke's cinematography is crazy beautiful. Literally every frame is a piece of art by itself.

[@TatianaHopper]

Oh I loved Lighthouse! Absolutely stunning, agreed 👍🏻

[@dwimusudem7943]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this movie - “RAN” by Akira Kurosawa. Each frame is a masterpiece

[@TatianaHopper]

Oh yeah absolutely! I did a video on Akira Kurosawa already where I actually showed some scenes of it!

Thank you so much for what you do, you inspire me to make a channel with a similar approach ❤

Great choices Tatiana. Not quite in this league as it’s sci-fi but I repeatedly watch Blade Runner 2049 for the amazing lighting (Roger Deakins take a bow). Simply superb and inspirational.

[@kronkite1530]

Danish thriller “Terribly Happy” (“Frygtelig lykkelig”); every scene of the town and landscape would make a great print on a wall! And great use of close ups, light and shadow in interior/ people shots to build tension. Stunning cinematography.

Tatiana: thank you for this video (the first I've watched). Won Kar-wai: his movies are a delight for those visually oriented.

Daddy Daughter teams playing games, simple, complicated.

In The Mood for Love. A very very graphic movie that uses 50 and 85mm focal lenses in tiny spaces. Lots, lots of frames as well. A masterpiece.

[@shyamalganguly3598]

Your suggestion is really inspiring and worth trying them in making still shots! It's always a handy idea to watch films and learning how innovatively lighting and composition are used to create mood interest drama and intent in almost every shot from sequence to sequence! But the matter has to be kept in mind that learning them photography from films gives us ideas to implement them to make still shots with limited scope of using the same technique single handedly because in films a lot of technicians are involved to get a desired effect and so also lightings use lamps like metal halides and vapour ones and they're super costly and unique to achieve startling effects which nearly impossible in studios of limited capacity space and wiring to have the effects of films but the essence could be maximized when you have limited light sources at hand with reflectors and soft boxes even with single light source! Moreover, the dark room part is indispensable for films while you can get away with without editing your still shots in editing software or darkroom if you are convinced that it's already taken care of while taking the picture!

[@hoagyguitarmichael]

Great recommendations.Woman Under the Influence also reminded me of Nan Golden. For people who maybe have difficulty accessing classic movies but have Netflix and are into high-contrast black and white photography, the Ripley series is a must watch. Woman Under the Influence also reminded me of Nan Golden.

[@TatianaHopper]

The Lady from Shanghai and A Touch of Evil are the two later Orson Welles movies that fully exploit the cinematographic genius of Gregg Toland.

Yes excellent choices, watched them all!

[@raccoon.443]

I love "In the mood for love" Christopher Doyle is my favorite cinematographer. I without a doubt contribute his work with "In the mood for love" and "Hero" as to why I'm a photographer/videographer today.

🙌🏻

[@prociu2]

Great movies! I would add "Ida" and "Pociąg" (Night train") as well.

[@TatianaHopper]

I’ll look up the last, the first is already on my watching list :)

[@cinesthesia7]

Excellent list, Tatiana. A whole lotta photographic awe. Many favorites and works that are rarely mentioned that were great to see here in this list. I recently revisited The Black Stallion and Walkabout - both of which I find have some very strong and indelible imagery that could easily lend themselves to still photography.

[@TatianaHopper]

Oh boy! I need to revisit those too because I genuinely don’t have many memories of them. I agree with you John! Hope you’ve been keeping well! 🤝🏻

[@arrayofemotions]

Not a film, but I found the cinematography of the series Mr. Robot quite inspirational.

[@TatianaHopper]

Will give it a watch :)

[@xtra9996]

I'd add the movie "Following" to the list, which is Christopher Nolen's debut from 1988. It's in b/w and in 4:3 format, which adds a bit of nostalgia, although it's quite a recent production. But that's not the only reason why I like it. According to some film reviewers it's a Neo Noir movie, which I mildly disagree to. However, it has interesting lighting and low key scenes and the story is quite intriguing as well.

[@TatianaHopper]

Will look it up! Thank you!

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I would highly recommend Minamata.

[@captainsardinebeach4298]

Nice. A cinematographer I love for his range is Haskell Wexler who worked on Medium Cool, b&w in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, did half of Malick's Days of Heaven, did the opening scene in Union Square in San Francisco for Coppola in The Conversation, Thomas Crown Affair, some of Cassavetes' Faces and more. I don't know what category it goes in but Dreyer's restored b&w silent era The Passion of Joan of Arc can be considered as one of the greatest films ever made.

[@TatianaHopper]

Yes to everything! I love Dreyer’s films. Thanks for watching and recommendations!

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

really interesting choices T 🙂 easy I know, but Tarantino is a cinematographer I admire. In particular Inglorious Basterds contains some fantastic imagery

Classic filmmakers not yet mentioned in the comments: Ozu (An Autumn Afternoon, Banshun), Dreyer (The Passion of Joan of Arc), Murnau (The Last Laugh, Sunrise). Taxi Driver (partly transparent windshields, colorful lights mirrored in wetness - cinematographers like Roger Deakins love that). Tropical Malady.

[@TatianaHopper]

Agreed! I once watched a Dryer movie (very early one, quite religious, I can't recall the name) in a theatre with live piano music composed especially for the screening, it was an experience I'll never forget! I made a video about Deakin's photography, you might enjoy that!

[@daviddyephotography]

the beauty of great film is that it is a series of individuale compositions that flow from one to the next. for me, my 'vision as I live my day is like a movie, where I seen moments or instants where I say, 'wait there's an image, wait there's an image to be captured. so life as it travels around me, I see it as a movie of still frames . an excellent selection for your presentation loved it as I totally can relate and have always promoted this

Good choice of movies. One that I highly recommend is 'Far From Heaven' starring Dennis Haysbert and Julianne Moore. The story is interesting, but what's most important is the use of color in the lighting to aid the storytelling. It's definitely worth watching.

[@TatianaHopper]

Great choices! Thank you Michael!

[@fernandosocorro4175]

Great choices and insights. So glad you included Night of the Hunter, which sadly was Charles Laughton's only directorial effort, but which is visually sublime and just right creepy. I would perhaps add Orson Welles's Touch of Evil. Have you seen La Jetée? It's a unique photography based cinematic experience, though not about photography. OH!. I highly recommend watching the Netflix series Ripley. Every single frame is a visual treasure. Great, as always.

[@TatianaHopper]

Hi Fernando! Thank you for watching! Yes I know what I shake that this was Laughton’s only directorial effort. I wonder why! Touch of Evil was on my list funny enough, so I definitely need to find a way of including it on the channel. I have watched La Jetée and a couple of other movies by Chris Marker. It’s not really my cup of tea but I appreciate them a whole lot and I know exactly what you’re talking about the cinematic experience is unique. I watched Ripley last weekend and I loved it, right up my alley! Hope you keep well 🤝🏻

[@johnsonctroy]

Barry Lyndon 1975, one of the greatest achievements in photography/cinematography I also would suggest Days of Heaven 1977 too by Terrance Malik any Kubrick film though could be up here Also I loved Mood for love. And I don’t think films vs movie is a real thing. Most people in America, use them interchangeably, especially the ones interested in cinema

[@TatianaHopper]

Got you, I just wanted to make sure I didn't confuse anyone watching :), cheers for those suggestions I agree with Days of Heaven and Barry Lyndon (the lighting techniques employed during the making of that movie were really ahead of its time and also the lenses were special from what I have read), cheers for watching!

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Great film choices

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you so much!

[@TheNitebinder]

Good video you did here. As with the movie/film 'Night Of The Hunter', it was composed as photographs with moving figures. In 'All That Heaven Allows', Douglas Sirk and Russell Metty used technicolor to enhance the richness of the image. With '12 Angry Men', the audience is forced watch the jurors from different backgrounds and social classes locked within an enclosed space to decide a young man's fate. 'The Naked Island', we see a family go through the constant struggle of survival on island nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. Never heard of 'Red Desert', but because of the clips shown on here, perhaps I should watch it. With 'Pharaoh', it's the camera that's storyteller more than the director. Through it, we see that it's the high priests who had slowly stolen the power Egypt from the Pharaoh. Making him nothing more than a figure head. 'A Woman Under the Influence' directed by John Cassavetes is interesting, because Cassavetes often starred in other people's films/movies like 'Rosemary's Baby' to finance his independent character studies. By studying these movie/films and the others recommended, it may help improve our photography and/or filmmaking. Good job.

Some wonderful inspiration here! I love Paris Texas and the films of Wong Kar Wai but was unfamiliar with some of the earlier suggestions. Thanks for the links. Its interesting that there have been critics of the current Netflix production Ripley, a new dramatisation of Patricia Highsmith's book(s), filmed in gorgeous (in my view) black and white, mainly set in Italy, with some lovely deep shadows, textures and rainy streets - the criticism of some being that the noir look is boring and tiring. For me, it couldn't be further from the truth but each to their own I guess!.

[@TatianaHopper]

I’ve decided that I’m making a video on it, mostly I agree with what you said, I understand said criticism although for me is just clearly not a show for the average viewer, I feel that anyone engaging in visual arts / interested and appreciative of visuals will enjoy at least that. But the tone and pace is most definitely not for everyone.

[@TimS-pg5pv]

@@TatianaHopper Yes you're probably right. The tone and slow pace is probably the main issue and then some people add in the noir look to the criticism.
