1. The Color of Pomegranates (1968)
Have you ever felt like you're reading a poem while watching a movie? I have and thanks to this beautiful movie, I felt like I was sitting in my Poetry class again unless this time I could bring a snack in the class and sat like a boss with both legs on the chair.
2. The Fall (2006)
Have you ever watched anything so beautiful, nothing matters anymore and you don't mind somebody stab you and end your life right away? I haven't, but this movie sure makes me don't mind I get punched in the fucking stomach (I'm so skinny, so that's gonna hurt a lot). That shows how much I love this movie. The story is simple and very enjoyable but the cinematography is so beautiful it hurts.
3. Old Man and the Sea (1999)
I'm talking about Alexander Petrov's version. Pause every scene of this movie and it still looks so fucking beautiful. If watching Color of Pomegranates is like reading a poem, watching Petrov's Old Man and the Sea is like watching a moving oil painting. I feel like if I were Highlander, I'd go straight ahead to Russia and steal his ability. (Basically anything made by Petrov is beautiful, the man's a fucking genius).
4. In the Mood for Love (2000)
The reason why it's beautiful? the godmotherfucking music! Holy crowbar... Wong Kar Wai has a great sense of music, Chunking Express and My Blueberry Night also have amazing soundtracks but nothing beats the amazing scores and music in In the Mood for Love. Who would've thought that combining Nat King Cole's music to the love story in 60's China could be this good.
5. Baraka (1992)
9 out of 10 people think that this movie is beautiful, 1 of them said no because he's blind. Try watching this documentary on your newest 42" flat TV and prepare your eyes to get raped by its beautiful cinematography. It's basically all about the cinematography, baby!
