For some reason, I really like it when a film uses some kind of alternate music or sound effects during the opening titles when the studio is displayed. For example, in Secret Window, instead of hearing the ordinary music when the Columbia Pictures logo shows up, we hear the eerie sound of a windshield wiper on a car and it really sets the tone for the film before it’s even started.

Yeah I like that as well. Recently It used this to good effect. |

Will probably get shit for this opinion but thanks to an earlier post in this thread I started watching some 'Every Frame a Painting' videos and dear Lord, this guy is pretentious as fuck.
EDIT: Watched some more and it seems I just got unlucky and he was only really like that in the first two videos I watched.

Complete shifts in lighting mid-scene. ei. Elevator scene in Drive; one scene in The Shape of Water; basically all of La La Land, etc.

Music being used well is always fantastic.
I love when movies leave things unresolved. Not sloppily, of course, but when it’s executed right I can’t get enough.

Old fashioned romantic dramas with pretty sets and costumes
Long, symmetrical takes

The use of classical music. Kubrick did this quite a bit, but here’s some others I thought worked really well:
Moonlight Sonata in Elephant
Adagio for Strings in Platoon
Tristan and Isolde Prelude in Melancholia
Má Vlast in Tree of Life

Dream sequences are always something that I enjoy watching in films, because they are often visually impressive, sometimes tense and always emotionally powerful.
In dreams, sometimes things unfold in a different way from real life. The drive here is the subconcious of the person who is dreaming: his/her experiences, fears, desires and repressed feelings, which often emerge in the dream. Names and settings can change, and there's so much that can be done. This is a territory that enables every filmmaker to let go of all restrictions and test his creativity. It's a shame that not many have dared to do this.
Take, for instance, Mulholland Dr., which is my favorite film of all time. Most of it actually is a dream, and part of the enjoyment that I took from it was looking for connections between the dream and the real life of the character; the dream sequence in Rosemary's Baby is also one of the best aspects of the film. Other examples of films with masterfully shot dream sequences are Papillon, Inception, American Beauty and Blade Runner.
