You missed interstellar

[@The_AgentSmith]

1. The Tree of Life 2. Inception 3. The reverent

[@sonnykingcomposer]

I think skyfall is just brilliant. Roger Deakins is the king.

[@andreydiaz6812]

Watching Blade Runner(both movies) made me appreciate the scenery of my town at night. Its as if I was in the movie myself.

[@alegiurghy1172]

So glad that you finished the list! Can’t wait for your next video

[@robertmarginean164]

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

[@caballo-de-las-montanas]

Fury (2014), I think it's cinematography is underrated. Average plot, saved by it's gorgeous cinematography.

[@rrbcraftergames3361]

1. Single shot takes 2. Precise camera placement 3. Dynamic camera shots 4. Placing the audience(camera) right in the middle of everything

[@joeabouassaly7960]

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has one of the most beautiful Cinematography ive seen in a movie

[@ahmet-erdem61]

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.

[@aflowers2011]

Cuaron, Lubezki and Iñarritu. Mexican moviemakers are awesome

[@hugomego7329]

Huang tudi and Red Sorghum are great. I love how the camera becomes part of storytelling.

[@TheJarman9]

I feel that Mad Max: Fury Road is up there. It was an exhilarating movie!

[@roudyhambone3365]

This is an awesome list.."Children of Men" car scene, and the long cut battle scene towards the end of the movie... Mind blown🤯

[@michaelkaye4998]

Glad you are up and running again

[@peacefworld]

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

[@VernusFilm]

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

[@shreyaskonaje2915]

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 .

[@SmashingUKProductions]

Thanks for the suggestion, we may look at doing this list in the coming weeks!

[@rickardkaufman3988]

@@SmashingUKProductions Also, try Roger A. Deakins. He and Chivo are the OGs of cinematography.

[@SmashingUKProductions]

@@rickardkaufman3988 Definitely, goes without saying. Think Mr. Deakins definitely deserves a list.

[@abhiroopdas3232]

IMO inception could well be replaced with Interstellar, but then Inception is just unique.

[@flavio7180]

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.

[@premiersketches3900]

Inception is way more stunning than other Nolan films including interstellar

[@abhiroopdas3232]

@@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

[@selectyourchoice1321]

No inception is way better and stunning than interstellar

[@gladiatormaximus7105]

When it comes to cinematography 1917 is the best.

[@DerAnderevonHu]

Thank God, The Assassination of Jesse James is in this list! Probably one of the best and beautiful looking movies of all time.

[@eifelitorn]

Amazingly beautiful films indeed! Good job.

[@felixhowell1515]

Emmanuel Lubezki is everywhere on this list, I love it!

[@creampuff2019]

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

[@enriquevillalvazo5570]

Very accurate, though I would perhaps alter the order imo. Grandes artistas mexicanos!!

[@MwayiComfort]

Great picks bro ❤

[@tvushington6994]

Having Denis and Deakins in a film is just overkill…

[@vinemogo1245]

All quiet on the western front is underrated

[@miguelrosado6348]

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.

[@sameerahmed-gx8js]

You missed In the mood for love(director: wong kar wai)

[@diwakaryanamala8091]

JUST LOVED IT MAN..THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@KneeAches]

Wow! Road to Perdition…..I wasn’t expecting that. Cool!

[@bushnj8748]

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.

[@agoogle6454]

Complete agree about there will be blood winning over the assassination of Jesse James. It's hard to take the Oscars seriously sometimes!

[@miguelrivera5430]

There Will Be Blood is a Masterpiece

[@agoogle6454]

@@miguelrivera5430 would actually agree but not when compared to the TAOJJBTCRF

[@goodbood112]

Great job 👏🏼

[@CBlade0]

Excellent picks! #1 made me go 😬😬😬

[@vinnycaprezzi4598]

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.

[@ManishPt-IN]

Very valuable.. Thankyou

[@Taki4Fun]

What is the soundtrack 3:42 called?

[@edwardpritchardpemberton4998]

Your honorable mentions were the best ones. Also, the movie with best "rain scene" is "The Grand Master" staring Zhang Ziyi.

[@starwrsbro2]

did not expect road to perdition on here at all but totally deserved, insane film

[@IvorPresents]

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.

[@phito11]

I'm surprised to see Brazil was not mentioned

[@SmashingUKProductions]

'Brazil' was released in 1985, this list is looking at films from the 21st century. Thanks for the comment!

[@user-im8ru2bt7u]

Scorsese’s “Silence” should easily be on this list tbh. One of the best looking movies of the 21st century

[@tristanlanphere7736]

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

[@abduraufmannofov5853]

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

[@thetrison]

I will somewhat forgive this video for coming out before Greig Fraser entered into prominence with his spectacular work in Dune and the Batman.

MAN OF STEEL ❤❤

[@klartext1451]

Samsara guys one of the beautiful movie i have ever watched

[@SmashingUKProductions]

We'll be surd to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

It's not a narrative film though.

[@Otablock]

Ad Astra is my personal favorite

[@yakiyak612]

Nice....explain

[@gorlami9232]

Life of Pi was the best for me. It was simply beautiful!!!

[@abongilengcanga6513]

I fully agree

[@thehandleisuseless]

You should update this now that Dune 2 is out. The cinematography there is mind bending

[@BestYear2016]

I think Dunkirk must be in top 4

[@shanilkrishnan1470]

Chelk out the movie 'Angamali diaries ' there is 11min single shot climax

[@EN2Edge]

Macbeth 2015 Hands down #1 for cinematography Imo

[@bencegabor648]

my already endless admiration for lubezkis work has just gotten that much bigger

[@jaklag]

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.

[@TwiggyKeely]

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

[@jasonloveswatchingmovies7002]

Collateral (2004) is my favourite movie with amazing cinematography.

[@aatefnazar6185]

I thought there's be Antichrist and the neon demon . Road to Perdition is absolutely the best

[@ShamellAntone]

dope vid..

[@MrMord3n]

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]

'The Fall' is at 7:23.

[@MrMord3n]

@@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.

[@pranjalyatiwari8699]

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

[@chloetry206]

The Fall is my #1 for cinematography.

[@roydZanthy]

Dunkirk could be in this list too, the movie is just a war masterpiece

[@Happymali10]

If I recall correctly the 7 minute sequence in children of men had a cut though, since you have splatter "disappear" from the camera.

[@SmashingUKProductions]

Indeed you are correct, it appears about 5 minutes in to the shot.

[@henryesj6242]

The Revenant

[@SmashingUKProductions]

3:43

[@zhye5588]
