Hey guys. What's your guys' favorite movie that showcases some of the best cinematography you've ever seen?
For me:
1. Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)
2. The Road to Perdition
3. The Matrix
4. I can't really think right now, so I'll add more of my favorites later.
What's your list?

Children of Men
barry Lynden (or however its spelled) the lighting aspect of it at lest, looks great duller then all hell.
Citizen Kane probably the only part of that over-rated film that is worth talking about still today
Just about anything that Conrad Hall did in his lifetime

Yeah, I agree... Children of Men is amazing not only cinematography, but choreography (7+ minute long shots).
And Conrad Hall is great too!

Just re-watched it last night, and I have to say 'A Beautiful Mind' has some really stunning cinematography... but it's very subtle, which I think cinematography is supposed to be.
The lighting is just brilliant. It looks very organic...

Didn't he leave Collateral a few weeks into filming?

He left because of "artistic differences". Which, my interpretation would be, Michael Mann is a complete d-bag on set, so anyone would probably leave on set too. But, he did do all the preproduction planning which Dione Beebe based the rest of his work on... so, yeah.
And yes, he shot "Beat the Devil".
