The cinematography on many pre-2000 movies is amazing, what good cameras they had back then, I love movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s that still look current, coupled with a good script, good direction and acting you have a movie that has aged well or hasn't aged. Some of my favorite movies here are: Bonnie and Clyde Barry Lyndon, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Apocalypse Now, Out of Africa, The Mission, Dances with Wolves, A River Runs Through It, JFK, Schindler's List, Legends of the Fall, Titanic, American Beauty, LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring, Master and Commander, The Aviator, Memoirs of a Geisha, There Will Be Blood, Birdman, Blade Runner 2049, and finally Dune did an amazing job with cinematography.

What do you do bro

The flare sequence from 1917 is probably the most visually stunning scene I've ever seen. Highly deserved win.

If there is one category in the Oscar’s that is always right, it’s this one. I think we as a society have grown away from the art of film and forgot what it started as, and what it means to us. It became the moving picture, a picture that not only can capture our story in real time, but we can artistically and dramatically portray real and fictional moments with out words. To capture a person walking through a meadow, the landscape of a city torn apart by war, alien life thriving in the depths of space. This category; the art of cinematography is the truest form and truest art of film. It is simply capturing the spectacle and greatness of setting and scene of a film in all of its beauty gleaming of unsophistication in that moment to generalize hours of art. Truly, the category of cinematography amazes me and is the art.

I care ab this category more than any other, more than best picture. These are the best pictures in my mind.

During a summer filmmaking course at NC-School of the Arts back in 2003, we were shown THE MISSION as part of our understanding of the art of cinematography. As far as favorite cinematographers of mine are concerned, John Toll, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Emmanuel Lebezski are among my Top Ten.

Beautiful compilation, I appreciate the work here. It's interesting just how many of these films are 'historical epics', from Days of Heaven, to The English Patient, to The Revenant and 1917, and how many of them are in grand outdoor locations with incredible light. Even the stylised wuxia film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is set in a historical China. It's not until you get to the 2010s that the present and future begin to dominate, with La La Land, Gravity, Bladerunner 2049, Birdman, Dune, and Inception.

close encounters of third kind was CRAZYY

It’s so disappointing that the movies to come will struggle to reach this level of beauty due to cinematography moving away from a form of art and expression and moving into catering towards the youth of this world short attention span and need for so much to be spelt out
