Best looking films

[Mifune]

I think that a film can be good just on its aesthetics; Avatar is a prime example because the story is not original and James Cameron is a crap writer, and the acting was nothing special, however it looked awesome so I still enjoyed it. Obviously if a film can look awesome and have good acting and a good story then that is the jackpot eg. There Will Be Blood.

So what are the best looking films you have seen? Here are a few of mine:

Hero's great. Different colours for different perspectives

I was going to put that but I chose Flying Daggers instead because it is better .

Out of Hero, Flying Daggers, and Crouhing Tiger Hidden Dragon, Flying Daggers is the best, although I like them all.

I was going to put 'Avatar ' but then you'd already mentioned it in the first sentence

Finding Nemo and Toy Story 3

I wrote a post last night and just as I pressed send the site went down, then it happened just again this morning Non Spoiler pictures in spoiler boxes.

Firstly some animation. Sylvain Chomet's animation style is amazing. Although 'Triplettes de Belleville' is my favourite, the film 'The Illusonist' looks better. It's set in Scotland, mainly 50s Edinburgh and it's gorgeous. The film has a very melancholic tone and the visuals reinforce it.

Also in animation I really enjoyed the comic book Persepolis. Not into comics but this one was about Politics and religion in Iran. The film looked good as well, still in B&W. Not that detailed, quite child like and simplistic, which suits the niaviety of the teenage narrator.

Going back in time, the Dambusters. I'm a fan on miniature special effects and this one is the best. To recreate the bouncing bombs they used models almost identical to the ones Barnes Wallice used for R&D in the war. Of course you can tell it's toys but there is something authentic. That isn't cgi of a bomb bouncing on water but an actual small bomb bouncing on a tank.

What impressed me most about Skyfall was the way it looked. I really hate in films where a scene with low light levels (night etc) means you can't see anything. Skyfall showed one can have darkness and clarity of vision. The opening shot is dark, yet you can see Craig. There is a notable fight scene on a skyscraper where they intentionally use light and dark to obscure the two fighting silhouettes so the viewer does not know who is winning. Clever

Another mode one is Source Code. The Dream world was very 'blue', but not in a screen filter way (i.e. CSI Miami or Matrix) whereas the military was very dark and drab.

Corpse Bride looked pretty good but for stop motion it's all about Aardman. The Wallice and Gromit films look great. I saw an exhibition of the movie sets in Glasgow, it was epic!

Not a film but Game of thrones

I hear good things about Life of Pi

[Colly]

Obvious echoes on Blade Runner and Avatar, but I loved some of the special effect shots in The Lovely Bones, and considering its age Tron looks amazing. The sequel obviously looks great, but the art concepts for the original were wonderful.

My brother and sister have both seen it and have said that both the film and the cinematography in it is amazing. Looking forwards to seeing it.

I liked how in the new Tron they used 3D as an effect rather than just a gimmick or something by having the "real world" in 2D and inside Tron as 3D.

The Social Network looks fantastic plus it has an incredible OST.

One of my favourite films of all-time!

Samsara on Blu-ray is absolutely phenomenal.
