Top 10 Most Beautiful Movies of All Time

Filmmaking is a complicated alchemy of light, sound, camera movement. And while a great look is always the goal, sometimes everything comes together to create a work of sublime beauty. These are our picks for the Top 10 Most Beautiful Films of all Time. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm

What did you think of the list? Did we leave off one of your personal favorites? Have you seen all these movies, or have we inspired you to check some of them out? What do you think is the most beautiful film of all time?

Let us know in the comments!

THE LIST

Russian Ark (2002)

It’s a single, uncut steadicam shot going through the Russian Heritage museum. Sure, the concept is maybe a gimmick. But it’s amazing.

Manhattan (2014)

Woody Allen’s love letter to his favorite city in black and white ultra whidescreen is every bit as impactful as Allen’s own memory of the city as a child.

Citzen Kane (1941)

There may be nothing more emblematic of how to make a beautiful movie that Citizen Kane.

2001: A Space Odyssey

This entire film is a ballet of heavenly bodies, with carefully composed shots.

The Conformist (1970)

This is, in our opinion, the very best of Vittorio Storaro’s work. And that’s saying something.

The Fall

Tarsem Singh made a beautiful painting of a film; Colin Watkinson spend 4 years and thousands of miles bringing a child’s imagination to life on screen.

Hero (2002)

This film, which tells the same story from several different perspectives, (and color coded to match), takes a simple concept both in plot and style, and brings it to the next level.

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

70mm film, and every frame of it a still image worthy of framing.

The Tree of Life (2011)

The most beautiful of Terrance Malick’s films, and there’s quite a bit of competition there.

Samsara (2011)

There’s no plot, or dialogue in this film, but it tells a story nonetheless – every image tells its own story, and it’s glorious.

Let us know in the comments!

THE LIST

Symbolic – 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Kubrick set out to avoid “intellectual verbalization,” opting instead to try to speak directly to the subconscious.

Thematic – A Serious Man (2009)

A whirlwind of biblical proportions, a fate unknown, and the impending promise of more punishment.

Visually Stunning – The Piano (1993)

The main character, hanging lifeless, attached to her sunken piano in a fantasy of her aborted suicide that she claims “lulls her to sleep.”

Visually Inventive – Gangs of New York (2002)

From mid-19th century Manhattan to Brooklyn Bridge to Empire State to the World Trade, this multilayered shot perfectly visualizes the growth of New York and a city’s relationship with the history upon which it is built.

Tied Up In a Bow w. a Cherry on Top – Fight Club (1999)

It’s the kind of fairytale ending that every little boy and girl dreams about, hand in hand with the chain-smoking love of their life that they’ve finally won over from their other personality, brain dripping out through a bullethole in the back of their head watching the bastions of American Capitalism crumble to the ground in the sexiest domestic terror attack ever.

Cliffhanger/Twist – Inception (2010)

The spinning top, a single shot that inspires this much deep analysis of character plot and theme along with the underlying philosophies and mythologies of the film is automatically a massive success.

Perfectly Summarizes – The Searchers (1956)

After every major relationship is wrapped up happily, it ends on John Wayne as Ethan, without a place to come home to, a discarded tool of a more violent time, the door closing on him just like it did Kay.

Emotionally Haunting – Stalker (1979)

It defies an easily verbalized explanation. The psychokinesis might be a half-granted wish. The roar of the train is probably the future rushing towards us. But – again – does it really matter?

Freeze Frame – The 400 Blows (1959)

The definition of open-ended, Antoine’s look is basically the cinematic version of the Mona Lisa Smile. Is he happy? Hopeful? Uncertain? Disillusioned? Is he paralyzed and trapped, or condemning the society that failed him? The look is anything and everything at once, meaning something new to everyone.

Iconic – Casablanca (1942)

From Medium Close to Extreme Wide, there’s no better way to say goodbye to a well-loved character and story.
