its been a pretty steady good list so far...there are some questionable ones though.
We all know there's been a conspiracy. Only the failures have been recorded.
We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
Off the top of my head:

Little Miss Sunshine
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Good Night and Good Luck
American Beauty
Big Fish

I'm sure there's others that would pass some of these if I thought about it a little more.

I liked Good night and good luck, but you're the first person I've heard of that would put it in their top 5.    I guess I just couldn't identify with the time period.

Good Nigh and Good Luck = totally overrated IMO.

Scene 1:  guy wants to report on Air Force guy who got kicked out but CBS isn't sure.
Scene 2:  guy reports, Air Force guy gets back in.
Scene 3:  guy reports on McCarthy not being in seat during a hearing.
Scene 4:  McCarthy attacks guy on guy's show.
Scene 5:  McCarthy is told to STFU.

The End


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

It's the first time I walked away from a movie thinking about how great the cinematography.  I loved pretty much every shot.  Plus, that guy does an awesome job as Murrow.

I'll admit it was great acting, directing, score, cinamatagrophy etc....   I just didn't give a flip about the story.

I will agree that the cinematography was well done and something I can appreciate, but the movie itself lacked depth.  I didn't feel like they spent much time developing characters, or even telling the story. 


If you're into cinematography you should check out Michael Mann's movies like Heat, Collateral, and Miami Vice (haven't seen MV yet but it appears to be in line with his others from a visual perspective).

Smokey & the Bandit, Anchorman, Any Given Sunday, Breakfast Club, and Indiana Jones have all been mentioned, but GNAGL is the first one anyone complained about.

possible the most beautiful movie I've seen from a cinamatography stand point is a french film called "Le Fabaloux destine de Amelie Poulane"  also known as Amelie.  Sin City was also pretty entertaining visually.

The best visual movies of all time are:

Nostalghia (1983)
The Sacrifice (1986)
Mirror (1976)
Stalker (1979)
L'Avventura (1960)
La Notte (1961)
L'Eclisse (1962)
The New World (2005)
Werckmeister Harmonies (2000)
Satantango (1994)

Mirror is probably my favorite film.

LOL.  I really was looking for more, I guess I had high expectations after reading some of the reviews. 
And LOL @ AGS being mentioned as a top 5 movie but oh well.

Funny you mention The New World, which was awesome to look at, movie was terrible.

Thin Red line was the same way, visually awesome but what a terrible movie.
