A thread about movies with the most beautiful/interesting/dramatic art stylization. Movies where the art direction is part of the experience, not just a way to convey the story to the viewer. I need some recs. A short list if you haven't seen any of these yet:
Manhunter
>1986, pictured. Dir. Michael Mann. Probably my favorite shots of all time in this one
Bronson
>2008, stars Tom Hardy
Any Given Sunday
>1999, starring Al Pacino and dir. by Oliver Stone.
Drive
>duh
Blade Runner
>duh
Cube
>1998, Canadian indie horror film. Super underrated, one of the only horror movies l like
Will be dumping some nice shots
Black Swan
Thief
La Haine
The Matrix. I heard the green filter over the movie was only introduced in 2003. Theatrical and early DVD releases didn't have that odd color correction. Anyone know where to find a copy of one of those?
Jacob's Ladder good af
Sorcerer, 1977
Cube
Another good one of Sorcerer
Luc Besson does it like that
>>84616288
I've seen Leon, which was great, but haven't heard of this. I'll check it out, thanks
Koyaanisqatsi
The Hunger (1983)
>>84616357
I prefer it over Leon personally.
>>84616441
Didn't know Tony Scott made something like this
T2 Trainspotting is basically orgasmic
Another great-looking movie by Tony Scott a lot of people probably haven't seen because it's about NASCAR. Still great
>>84615838
Ex machina.
>>84616482
>>84616192
lol this movie sucked wtf
>>84616441
>>84616516
>>84616558
I miss Tony Scott
>>84616441
>>84616516
The Hunger is the fucking tits. SO awesome
Dumping a bunch from Kanye West's Runaway. Don't laugh. Really thrilling and grandiose to watch.
2015 MacBeth was great.
Runaway
Angel Dust from 1994 is shot with a dreamlike/surreal quality to mirror its plot. Definitely give it a shot if you can find it.
>>84616824
Agreed. It was a visually stunning movie.
Runaway.
>>84616698
lol nice shot
>>84616824
Never watched any Shakespeare adaption because I can't stand/understand the language. #sorrynotsorry. Worth it for this one?
In The Mood For Love
sonantine and hana-bi are both very visually unique and interesting movies
>>84616946
Synopsis sounds really interesting. Not sure where I'll be able to find it with eng subs. Might have to actually buy a movie again
Eraserhead
Institute Benjamenta
Fallen Angels
Castaway on the moon
Sympathy for the Underdog
>>84617096
this site has subs for like every movie. https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/sublanguageid-all/idmovie-17053
I think Tarkovsky is the epitome of this idea
>>84617096
If you're not on private trackers try Bit Che my dude.
>>84617230
So I'm basically tagging a bunch of public trackers and searching them all at once?
>>84617186
>>84617207
I might finally be able to watch Stalker, thanks.
>>84617314
Anon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGRDYpCmMcM
This is the best restoration of the film available, by the way.
>>84617358
FUCK.
Presumably they have everything by Tarkovsky?
>>84617358
Not that Anon, but thanks. And this is a phenomenal version.
>>84617314
Yeah it's basically a search engine for most public trackers. BTDigg is similar to that I think but Bit Che is more convenient imo
I feel like I might catch some flak for mentioning this but 300 definitely has a unique visual style.
>>84617429
I'm not sure but here's a magnet link to his filmography in 1080p, although the file sizes might be a bit too small for some peoples liking. Also it doesn't include his student films. I'll be seeding it for the foreseeable future.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:e104929579b0d34ec03fecec0244685931116176&dn=Andrei.Tarkovsky.Filmography.1080p.BluRay&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.zer0day.to%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.pirateparty.gr%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2ftracker.internetwarriors.net%3a1337%2fannounce
>>84617230
bit che is awful, nothing on it ever works.
Just search piratebay, if you can't find anything with seeds then grab a filename and search it through google, with quotations then list it by "this week/this month/this year" until you find osmething
>>84617530
Also the Stalker in this torrent is not the newest restoration; it's noticeably grainy. The mosfilm restoration will be on trackers on the 18th when criterion releases their copy
>>84617496
Haha i was afraid to bring it up too but it does look amazing. People ought to be less snobby, they'd find greatness where they don't expect
>>84617585
Bit Che pads its seeders for some trackers but it includes searches for piratebay too. I know I've found a shitton of old movies on it that no one seeds on TPB anymore.
>>84617628
300 looks like shit
Tokyo Drifter

space cop
>>84615838
Blade Runner is shit though.
>>84615838
>manhunter
every mann film is stylized.
You ever watch Manhunter in a shitty resolution like that ever again and I swear to fucking God I will find out where you live and come murder you with a fucking knife.
It's a little long winded but damn is it pretty. Like watching a moving painting.
>>84620171

Fucking cringe. Just stick to videogames.
>>84615838
what the fuck are you even asking for
>>84617628
Fuck off. That movie is the ugliest piece of shit ever.
>>84617496
Zack Snyder has a very interesting and creative style, but it's wasted on shitty or inappropriate subject matter.
>>84618071
>tfw I been putting off watching this
>>84616784
I honestly think Kanye is one of the best currently active artists
