Mathew Collins Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Hi, I had an opportunity watch 'Rumble Fish'. I like the time lapse shots. Could someone watched the movie, please brief what is special about 'Rumble Fish'? I might missed many things while watching the movie.

joshua gallegos Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 These are the ones that spring to mind immediately.... Citizen Kane The man that wasn't there Casablanca The original "Fugitive" tv series (I know its not a movie but I grew up with it and loved it so much that its worth encapsulating it to this list) Birds Rumble Fish Hitchcock's 'The Birds' is in technicolor.

Alexandros Angelopoulos Apostolos Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) But I prefer not limiting myself to five. You guys have seen my big list, decade by decade, of favorite works of cinematography... Do you remember what thread was that in?

Oron Cohen Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 5 films is not much :) so just films from the top of my head and that I really like the Cinematography in them, but there are so many more! - Ivan’s Childhood - The Night of the Hunter - Vivre Sa Vie - Tokyo Story - Europa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted June 5, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wait, I thought this was a subjective thread about your 5 top B&W (black and white) movies...

Leo Anthony Vale Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 the bride of frankenstein foreign correspondent the maltese falcon all that money can buy AKA the devil and daniel webster passage to marseille the horn blows at midnight air force ivan groznii AKA ivan the terrible (parts I & II) so part II has color sequences at the end, so shot me. it's my 2nd favorite movie of all time, the top favorite is in color, thus not to be mentioned here. i walked with a zombie (the ending is pure visual poetry) the seventh victim how green was my valley the third man the man from planet x (I'm a sucker for misty moors at night) the dam busters sink the bismarck! ikiru inherit the wind (lots of deep focus shots in the court room & gave the world 'devo'.) suddenly last summer cranes are flying dr. strangelove the loved one (my all time favorite double bill consisted of the last two titles, sat through them twice if not thrice) the train sword of doom stranger than paradise ...there should be a few groups of five up there. in TohoScope, ---LV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 First 5: Sunrise The Grapes of Wrath The Third Man Night of the Hunter Manhattan Second 5: Citizen Kane The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Paths of Glory Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Last Year at Marienbad Honestly, there are so many wonderful examples of B&W cinematography out there, but few pushed the boundaries and led to such sublime visual moments.

Alissa Alexina Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I love black and white cinematography so much, it's impossible to choose... just want to mention some today, in case I forget and return to this thread 20 years from now: La Dolce Vita (I had a wonderful opportunity this winter to watch it on a big screen, the experience was fantastic) 8 1/2 Casablanca The Maltese Falcon The Third Man These seem to be the most often mentioned, so here are some less common titles: Spellbound (1945) A Hard Day's Night (1964) Beauty and the Beast (1946) The Seventh Seal (1957) The Cranes Are Flying (1957) - a Russian masterpiece, Cannes Palme d'Or winner which I am not sure to watch again, so heart-rending. As most great films are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon O'Brien Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Random Harvest The Third Man Casablanca The Elephant Man To Have and Have Not In the 'very fond of' or 'very interesting' category but not quite my favourites: Brief Encounter (great cinematography though) Great Expectations Eraserhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles pappas Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 There aren't many visual experiences that can rival viewing a well-projected excellent print of a well-shot B & W film (IMO). I viewed a fresh print of The Sleeping Car Murders (dp Jean Tournuer) perhaps 10 or 15 years ago and will never forget shots of black sedans that looked like a combination of that zero light reflecting paint and bowls of mercury. Which doesn't make sense, but that is the impression those black sedans left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Palmer Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I was so looking forward to seeing again after many years The Elephant Man at my local cinema. And in b/w Scope , unusual, and hopefully the same ratio in its digital release. I passed the cinema ad hoarding many times, then the lockdown suddenly cancelled everything! At the time it was originally screened I can still remember clearly the experience, maybe more likely with monochrome films, as one is more appreciative perhaps of the richness of the actual image. As it's more abstract than colour? The same happened with Schindler's List when I first saw it in Leicester Square, London. Although strangely they screened a print that looked hurriedly spliced together: real b/w plus the occasional colour parts, the colour prints starting as "b/w" which somewhat spoiled the effect. However, still an incredible experience. Edited July 21, 2020 by Doug Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Jay Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 The Man Who Wasn't There is definitely in the top 5 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
