Liking things I thought were placed appropriately. The Graduate and Andrei Rublev are both way low. Kane and 2001 not being top five is a joke, come on guys.
I did like that Black Narcissus snuck in. Had it near the bottom of my ballot but was not expecting it to make the list.

Well, Kubrick went to great lengths to capture that candle light and more than half of the film is painting after painting. Can't disagree with Barry Lyndon topping the list.

Barry Lyndon winning is not a surprise. Don't think it beats 2001 as Kubrick's best cinematography (it is even right on par with Strangelove) but it is a very beautiful movie so I can't complain. Was late but this looks like a very good presentation!  |

Barry Lyndon is a worthy enough winner, but I'm a little disappointed that Paris Texas couldn't make it higher. That movie looks incredible.
Also sorry I'm late. I thought that the presentation was Sunday not Saturday. Anyway great job Deeparcher, I couldn't have done it better myself.

Fantastic #1. No disagreeances at all on that - after sifting through lots of meh, it ended on such a high note.
If it were up to me......1) Barry Lyndon 2) The Mirror 3) Tess 4) L'Avventura 5) A Doyle (possibly Hero..... without being too contemporary I guess Fallen Angels possibly too)
Love Paris, Texas but the cinematography was always in the more back corner of my mind when thinking of the film..... not that it's not praise worthy, just lesser an aspect than the other strong suits. I drop dead over the storytelling (reminiscent of Ozu's approach), the allusions to Jane, the grainy home video of Travis' and Jane's days of marriage, the broken family past, or whatever created the avant-blues backdrop...... the score and Wenders is the main contributor I guess. And of course, Muller's cinematography created some of that too.

Great presentation DeepArcher Kind of a mixed bag for me. I can't digest Road to Perdition at 19 (way too low) and Lawrence of Arabia not even making it top 3 . Still i respect consensus. Some glaring omissions: Rashomon Sunrsie: A Song of Two Humans Metropolis |

I've had some issues with some of these placements lol (BR2049 over the original? nu-uh) but most of the stuff in that top 10 is utter perfection, and of course that's a perfect winner. Thanks for the excellent presentation, DeepArcher !! |
