I just saw "Commandments" and it has some truly beautiful cinematography. Most of the movie is shot where there's a strong focus on the center of the picture, then the surrounding edges either fades out or has a darker tone. Very nicely done.

i really liked the cinematography in Lawrence of arabia, raging bull, schindler's list, To kill a Mockingbird, Saving private ryan, Munich, and road to perdition. LOTR, Hero, Milion Dollar Baby, American Beauty, city of god, the constant gardener, and collaterall get honorable mentions.

"Kamen Rider The First" has some impressive scenes of cinematography.

Ya Krunk'd Floo Moving with the swell.

All of Michael Mann's movies are mesmerizing.

Natural Born Killers.

In the beginning when they're ruffing up that diner and he shoots at the fat lady and the camera tracks the bullet then the bullet screeches to a halt and then the next thing it shows is blood splattering on the walls.

I have to disagree with this... Slow motion is very much a part of cinematography! It's not a post thig, it's not always a special effect... If a scene or peice of a scene is shot in slow motion, it is cinematography. If its added in post, it's an effect... Anyway.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by Alfonso Cuaron. That had amazing cinematography.

Ridley Scott has made the most visually gorgeous films of the past few decades. I think I could single out Legend (1986) and the cinematography by Alex Thomson as maybe the most stunning of all his films.

Syriana was pretty good. The entire Bourne Trilogy; part of that was also the direction, but the way it was shot pulled it all together.

He's a great director. I was gonna mention his film Children of Men. I love the way that film is put together. They went to great lengths to have longer shots without edits.
