Movie(ish) Tournament - Cinematography Edition Part 3 (1 Viewer)

[JohnRice]

All my noms are in.
I want more......

 

[Brook K]

Thanks Patrick, I was actually considering unnominating Whity since I figured it was my least likely nom to make it in.

I can't imagine anyone seeing Code Unknown and not being blown away by the cinematography, but the "seen it" part of the equation is probably what's missing.

I still have a 2nd which I'm considering using for Far From Heaven, but I'm going to hold just to see what else pops up.

 

[JenB]

Second:
Pitch Black

 

[JohnRice]

Steve, thanks for seconding In The Bedroom, though I doubt it will go very far. There is a sequence just after the wake
with a series of vignettes and almost no dialog, that is about my favorite of everything I have seen from last year. I know, it is as much editing and story planning as cinematography, but all this stuff is. I also like the sequences during the funeral and wake
almost as much.

I also like the fact that there is virtually no soundtrack in this film.

Steve, thanks for seconding In The Bedroom, though I doubt it will go very far.

No problem. I thought the film was very good, but strangely enough, I can't imagine wanting to watch it again. Ever get that feeling?

 

[Lew Crippen]

Nominate:
Giulietta degli spiiti/Juliet of the Spirits, Gianni Di Venanzo, DP
Kabinett des Doktor Caligari/The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari, Will Hameister, DP
The Naked Spur, William Mellor, DP

 

[JohnRice]

Yeah. I had the same feeling, but I still bought it and have watched twice since.


So, let the games begin!

 

[rhett]

Anyone want to throw out a nomination for Heat (1995) that I can second?

 

[Graeme Clark]

Ok
I'll nominate Heat - Dante Spinotti

 

[Rain]

Alright.
Juliet of the Spirits and Heat are already in.

[JenB]

Abstain x 3
Second:
The Black Stallion

 

[Agee Bassett]

Did anyone view/tape Duel in the Sun yesterday on TCM? If so, why are you teasing me by temporarily withholding your second of my nom?
Abstain (No Punch-Drunk Love)
Abstain (No Fight Club)
Great Expectations (Guy Green)
Nominations
The Sea Wolf, 1941 (Sol Polito)
The Innocents, 1961 (Freddie Francis)
Seconds
Ivan the Terrible, part I, 1942 (Eduard Tisse, Andrei Moskvin)
I suppose, actually, both parts of the film could qualify as one nom, as the planned installments were designed to finally coagulate as one film (part III was never filmed)? What do you think, Rain?

 

[Vickie_M]

Nominate:
The Straight Story - Freddie Francis
The Grey Fox - Frank Tidy
I haven't seen most of the films I would want to second.
Punch-Drunk Love
Fight Club
