I know someone already had a shot from Godzilla (2014) but thought I'd add some more Godzilla.

No movie ever has captured the magnificent height of mountains, and the eerie emptiness and vastness of a desert in a movie since Lawrence of Arabia, juxtaposed against humans. There's been dissertations on Kurosawa's use of rain to emphasize a scene, but David Lean's scenes of majestic mountains and desert conveys it the same way.

This scene of Lawrence walking during a desert sunset will remind you of Blade Runner 2049. Look at the incredible colors!

Another scene that truly captures the mystery, the eeriness and the raw nature of desert is when Lawrence ponders all night, and comes up with the plan 'Aqaba'.

And of course, this flawless, iconic shot of 3 men and a well.

Sherif Ali: He is dead.
T.E. Lawrence: yes... why?
Sherif Ali: this is my well.
T.E. Lawrence: I have drunk from it.
Sherif Ali: You are welcome.


My absolute favorite scene in the movie:

Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful this movie is. You must watch it if you have even a tiny bit of interest in cinematography.

I've sadly never seen this movie. What's the best way to watch it in 2021? Looks like there are a couple different Blu Ray masters.

And my favorite shot from Godzilla (2014).
I sadly wasn't a big fan of Shin Godzilla overall, but it had some gorgeous scenes here and there.

One without Godzilla, there's a shot of the government people surveying destruction and it looked really amazing.

Monos (2019) has great cinematography and it's an amazing powerful movie. One of those movies that just sticks in your mind for days.
Edit: Couldn't find hi res pictures that do it justice so here's the trailer :p

One of the biggest complaints about Whedon is he shoots his films like they were just an episode of TV. I mean when you watch the Battle of NY scenes from "Endgame" it gives you a taste of what "Avengers" would have looked like had it been done by a cinematographer more aligned with how to film motion pictures.

I rewatched the whole MCU last year and the phase one stuff looks really bad. They got more ambitious and adventurous as the series has gone on, thankfully, but those early ones are just ugly. The first Avengers movie, in particular, is really dated-looking – it's a cliche but it really is shot like a mid-2000s TV show.

Watch the scene where Black Widow is tied up and gets a call. It's straight out of Alias or something.

I've sadly never seen this movie. What's the best way to watch it in 2021? Looks like there are a couple different Blu Ray masters.
There's a 4K Blu-ray, and it's also 4K on iTunes (I assume other services too).

If you want normal Blu-ray, the 50th anniversary 8K remaster was done in 2012 and all subsequent releases have been derived from that, so I doubt you'll find anything older readily available new. The version they're selling on Amazon as the restored version is the one you want.

OP, can you add a rule stating posters to list the movie titles at the beginning of their posts so we don't have a bunch of quotes asking the same questions over and over

This is now the Roma OT. Luckily someone put together a highlight reel. Truly one of my all time favorites.



I know some scenes he had the actors do over like 80 times but at least every single one was worth it. There's also "Road To Roma" on netflix which is a mini documentary about the making of the film and I found it just as fascinating as Roma itself.

I wish people included some commentary. I look at some of these and I just don't get it. You could have picked 3 frames at random for all I know.

Some shots I found, but the whole movies qualifies to be here.
It was the first Melville film I have watched, been meaning to watch Un flic and Le Cercle rouge sooner rather than later.

Also, The Conformist is probably the most attractive film ever shot (and just god-tier in general):

Blade Runner - I just love the rich texture and mix of haze and excessive clutter to create what remains the most tactile and real "near future" put on screen yet.

I understand when William Gibson saw it he went and reworked his material based on what he saw and I can believe it.

So beautifully shot. Really need to go back and re-watch. Never did finish season 3.
