All pictures, that have ever won an Oscar for `Best Cinematography` since 1967(after coloured and BW nominations were combined into one).
Music in this video:
Исаак Дунаевский - Увертюра Дети капитана Гранта
David Arkenstone - Moher Winds
Burkhard Dallwitz - Tibet
Both of Villeneuve’s contributions here are massively well-deserved. I could watch Dune/BR49 daily.
I agrea. Villeneuve is such an under-rated director/filmmaker.
He doesn't miss
those films have two different cinematographers
not villeneuve but roger deakins and greg fraser you mean
@@fuji8088 the director plays s huge part in the cinematography of a movie
Interstellar had one of the best cinematography, it was damn stunning seeing that black hole
😬
Compared to the ones on the list? Nah man, it was just above average
@@nadheem420it literally helped to further our collective understanding of the universe developing not one, but two scientific papers Not a single other movie in history have done the same But sure buddy whatever makes you feel superior
@@matheussanthiago9685 what the hell are you even talking about, Interstellar just showcased works of famous scientists like Stephen Hawking and Einstein. What do you mean it developed studies, are you dreaming, and what does science even have to do with cinematography even though your point was wrong. It was a beautiful movie but even dune is way more realistic about the future, though not about science but rather about politics and human nature in the future. People like you won't even know science and think Interstellar is some scientific achievement and praise it in the wrong way
@@matheussanthiago9685 how many movies u watched? Interstellar is just the most overrated movie in the world. U should recover ‘2001’ or ‘Solaris’ and maybe u could change ur mind, or at least u could see how to direct (seriously) a sci-fi movie.
It saddens me that not even 1 wong kar wai movie won an Oscar, his every movie is visually striking
Wong Kar Wai is a genius. Sadly, he only has 1 shortlisted with Grandmaster This only happenedl 'cause of Harvey Weistein "helped" the movie in US, and he made Wong cut 20 minutes of the movie. Wong Kar Wai is bigger than this.
exactly !! he's my fav director for the beauty in his movies
Christopher Doyle deserves the credit
@@kitmanc7759 He most definitely does, A master at his work

The revenant and Blade runner 2049 are probably the 2 most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. Wish I saw them in theatres
Id add Dune too. Purely amazing how the scenery and the music of Hans Zimmer interact.
Blade runner 2049 is one of my favourite movies period. Was lucky to see it in a theatre, although I wish I could see it in IMAX, that would be quite an experience
What about drive and joker? I think they're a pretty stunning
@@alexandermaxwellnox887 sure but not on the level of those two
I saw both of them. Blade Runner 2049 felt like the biggest thing I'd ever seen. The shots and the sound were masterful.
The Revenant has some of the greatest camera work I've ever seen in a movie. Truly remarkable.
The Revenant is a copy (homage) of the cinematography of Andrei Tarkovsky

omg thanks for this

It’s insane Emmanuel Lubezki won three Oscars in a row for this category
Fku

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.
they were alright
The 90s were absolutely glorious.
Because of the use of films(physical) were used back then.
2001: Space Odyssey should of definitely won the Oscar.
Days of Heaven is one of the most deserved wins in the Academy's history. The whole story is told in its ethereal images. Not to mention Morricone's equally gorgeous music to accompany it.
The fire scene is incredible. Other picks made more of an impression on me, but indeed it’s, a total masterpiece visually..
Nestor almendros 😌 legend
Watching this video reminds me of how much I love films
Don't get me wrong i don't want to promote this but please if possible anytime check out an indian movie named qala and see its cinematography and lighting. Its the most gorgeous movie i have ever seen unfortunately highly underrated, hope u see it sometime.
This video made me realize that my dad subconsciously created my intense, deep love for cinematography. Nearly every movie on this list was one my dad had watched with me, usually to my mother's distain, but I'm SO happy he did. He's the reason I do what I do. I had a transformative experience watching this.
What do you do bro
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.
Beautifully described. Though I think that said films are still being made, only they’re harder to find. Commercialized movies overshadow good, or even amazing films that actually have a deeper meaning. It’s a shame that an art form like this is exploited by media giants like Disney.
the batman robbed
@@dominicquintana7363 I agree
I’m sorry, 2001: A Space Odyssey not winning in 1969 is so far from right
While I don't know about always, because obviously art is subjective and the Oscar's have been going far too long to be batting 1000, I do think they've gotten it right more than most categories have.
The flare sequence from 1917 is probably the most visually stunning scene I've ever seen. Highly deserved win.
Actually surprised Lord of the Rings only won it once. Those movies are gorgeous and have stood strong to the test of time
What's even more astounding is that it was only nominated *once!* It boggles my mind how they award the first film in the category then never nominated it again. Return of the King easily should have won that Oscar (which would've made it the most awarded film at the Oscar's ever).
I think return of the king had incredible cinematography. Almost on par with the fellowship. I love the shot of the nazgul diving from the clouds towards minas tirith
@@chaosthebaryonyx6344 Honestly that whole 'Siege of Gondor' sequence is one of the most electrifying bits of film I have ever seen, from the score to the cinematography, it's all just cinematic perfection. For me, the lighting of the beacons is a great example of ROTK's cinematography.
@@ClassicalMusic2002 nah Master and Commander is great
@@MajorMlgNoob oh I love master and commander but Return of the King DEFINITELY deserved a cinematography nomination
Being part of the new generation I didn't know movies this old could look so beautiful. Definitely giving some them a try after the video!
Wow! Leonardo has been in so many of these films! Never realized!
He’s the great cinematic artist
Спасибо за подборку этих гениальных кадров!
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.
Got an Oppenheimer ad for this...
Would be nice to include the name of the masters behind the masterpieces.
Damn, sounds like a good idea🤔 but it would take too much space for a text
@@vgcuts you can write their names in the description, so we (cinematography lovers) can check their other works on IMDB or Wiki,,,, btw, thanks for collecting it in 1 video
@@vgcuts Maybe captions could be useful for that
@@vgcuts could always put their names at the top and the movie at the bottom
@@UncleChubbzOr put the other stuff more to the left and the Name more to the right
not having interstellar in there but having gravity was an unforgivable sin
Very nice job with this one
Thank you for this beautiful video! I got reminded of some of the masterpieces that I watched and that I would like to rewatch sometime again :) Great music too!
I care ab this category more than any other, more than best picture. These are the best pictures in my mind.
9:41 that's cool, different characters same actor! It looks like They're looking at each other!
Sometimes I just come back to watch this for the vibe. Perfect music and editing.
What's the name of music? I am in love with it
Now we can probably add All Quiet on The Western Front to the list since Maverick is not up for Cinematography.
Thank you!
Apocalypse now still looks like it could have been made yesterday!
Amazing montage. Cinematography is my fav Oscar category. Where’s the name? People only remember the directors. Cinematographers are so important for all movies
The names of the cinematographers would have been great, but otherwise a wonderful representation. Thank you.
Great job
2 Ryan Gosling movies in a row... literally me
How brilliant of Alejando Iñarritú (and his cinematographer!) to win Best Cinematography two years in a row with Birdman and The Revenant!
well, technically that’d be emmanuel lubezki who won ;)
Lubezki shot Gravity in 2013 as well so it was 3 in a row for him
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.
Yes I was struck by how many of these movies I knew only from being shown them in history class.
My heart skipped a beat when we got to la la land. Such perfection...
Apocalypse Now is the best movie of all time in my opinion, such a masterpiece and beautifully shot
'The Assassination of Jesse James...' should have been up there. Stunning. No Country for Old Men also has it's moments- I think it was the same cinematographer on both coming to think about it.
Yeah Deakins did both Also Fargo, Sicario, Prisoners, The Shawshank Redemption, Jarhead, Skyfall, and his 2 Oscar winners here (Blade Runner 2049 & 1917) Works a lot with the Coen Brothers & Sam Mendes
@@MajorMlgNoob ok wow I didn't realise that he did all those films too. Sicario has a similar look/feel to No Country at times but could be due to the similar setting.
quality video with quality background sound....
Apocalypse Now is lightyears ahead of the others
nope
Not better than Barry Lyndon
So true actually
David Lean
@@eliassettbassett643 exquisite
isn't it funny that if you did the same video with best picture winners I wouldn't be nearly as moved as I was know. Barry Lyndon, There Will Be Blood, Master and Commander, etc. Good stuff, tyvm
This video exists🤠
DI timing and visfx sure have changed the category.
The music in this video is taking me to another world. 💜
Name of the music plz
2014 oscar for best cinematography should have been given to interstellar tbh 😩
Every school needs teachers like you. So that, student can learn and understand before time runs out.
Most of the films listed here, i solely watched it for the stunning cinematography, specially Days of Heaven (1978) by Terrence Mallick. It was so stunning to see all those simple but breathtaking views 🤩🔥
Is amazing how digital era, bring us more details and light, I love 35mm but men look that colours
Barry Lyndon looks like it's a portrait, it's so beautiful the Background in the nature the indoor candle lightning, so beautiful.
I love this art way so so much
Masterpiece each frame....
Dune was one of the most beautifully lit movies I've ever seen!
How did 2001 not get the Oscar
The fact that it wasn't even nominated is the crazier thing. At least the cinematographer himself would go onto win 2 Oscars in the future (one of them posthumously).
@@moviemaniac14 utter disappointment from the academy
The critics bashed the film pretty bad when it was released
@@VihaanBelani it definitely wasn't bashed, and won for best visual effects.
This music is so good. It makes this youtube movie emotional.
Thanks😌
Leonardo DiCaprio has been in A LOT of best-cinematography-winners.
Beautiful video! But I find sad that you didn't put the names of these films' cinematographers... It's their prize and their job, after all...
Good job .
this year (2023) its gonna be Oppenheimer for sure!
Soem of these won just cause they were also nominated in other categories
6:52 inrajet + background burning+water around it reflecting fire+ people are blowing fire in background 8:56 9:19
the music is beautiful
I'm always scared by these types of videos because the years are going by so fast the movies from 2000 seem like they were released the other day but it's been more than 10 or 20 years....scary
really wish i couldve seen dune in theaters
Amazing music!
Beautiful editing, mesmerizing sound and a cup of coffee while wacthing this what else do u need to feel your life being full filled seeing all stunning shots in one roof!!
thanks
Surprised not to see interstellar here and not even the any of dark knight series here
офигенный ролик
They are very deserving of that honor
Probably should watch all of ‘em.
Sad that I haven’t seen one comment mentioning Martin Scorsese’s film “Silence”. It’s an overlooked masterpiece.
amo que tres años seguidos hayan ganado directores mexicanos (2013, 2014 y 2015) y luego otra vez con Roma en 2018 claro, sin olvidarse del laberinto del fauno de Guillermo del Toro🥹 un orgullo que sean mexicanos 🇲🇽
i have a question: imagine you would film something in the middle of a room in a wide ratio with two door barely visible left and right in the picture. now imagine filming from the same place with something like 4:3. is it a) you can’t see the doors because there are not filmed in that situation? or b) you can see the doors because the image is just squeezed into a smaller place?
Prolly the only category in Oscars that I mostly agree with every win
Tout des grands films que j'ai presque tous vu avec debelle histoire parfois légendaires aux scénario fabuleux, ou basé sur des histoires vrais... Avec de fabuleux acteurs.🙏👍👌🫶🌈🌏🕊❤️❤️❤️
Dances with wolves will always be the best cinematography for me.
The 60s to 80s is surprisingly Gorgeous...
Beautiful music
Nice compilation - my favourites are all the pioneers of modern cinematography in the 70s immortalised in the documentary Visions of Light - Conrad Hall (Butch Cassidy, American Beauty, Road To Perdition), Geoffrey Unsworth (Cabaret, Tess), Sven Nykvist (Cries and Whispers, Fanny and Alexander), Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, Reds, The Last Emperor), Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters), Nestor Almendros (Days of Heaven), Bound For Glory (Haskell Wexler), John Alcott (Barry Lyndon) Of the modern cinematographers, I would note Janusz Kaminski (Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan), Wally Pfister (Inception), Emmanuel Lubezki (Birdman, Gravity, The Revenant), Linus Sandgren (La La Land) and Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049, 1917) If I would to venture a top 5 from this list I would select 1)Nestor Almendros- Days of Heaven, 2) Vittorio Storaro-Apocalypse Now, 3) Conrad Hall- Butch Cassidy, 4) John Alcott-Barry Lyndon and 5) Roger Deakins-Blade Runner 2049
Bro do you the name of the music?
@@vishalgashokraj7901 No
For me, they should've won: Amelie Poulain in 2002 Tree of Life in 2012 Tragedy of Macbeth in 2022
Tree of life released in 2011
@@systummhanger8216 Yes. And it was nominee in Oscar 2012.
@@igorsilva3657 oh right , 2011's oscars are held in 2012 . Sorry for the confusion
As much as I liked Macbeth, Dune was too overwhelmingly mesmerising.
@@ras_732 it is. But Bruno Delbonnel's work in Tragedy of Macbeth is another level. He made the iconic imagery that was essential for the type movie that Tragedy of Macbeth is. But i guess that dont had the right promotion with the guilds and sindicates or the Oscars.
Decision to leave has stunning cinematography and still no nomination sad
The Mission , from 1986, with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons is a great film.It's been many years since I saw in the '90s, it feels like yesterday.
Great video. Genuine question, why are the years all 1 year behind when the Oscars ceremony was? E.g. La La Land won in 2017 not 2016
Award is given in 2017 for the pictures released in 2016 etc
The choice to award Gravity but not Interstellar shows everything wrong with the Oscars
the text font at the beggining is kind of a mood killer lol
A shout out to the Colorists of the world that help to make the cinematographers work shine.
Road to Perdition is just incredible movie to look at. Conrad L. Hall was a master behind camera.
Sam Mendes out here working with just him and Roger Deakins
Interesting to me that in the last five years, two of the films that have won best cinematography were in black and white! Kind of a cool factoid
cinematography of all movies are really good maximum movies I have seen after platoon and Gandhi
Would've been nice to have the name of the cinematographers 😂
2001: A Space Odyssey not being here just shows how ahead of his time Kubrick was...
Cinema only, please!
At least more fantasy movies were getting recognized towards the end of the video. But how did Master and Commander get it over Return of the King?
Great video, and I loved the music. Can anyone tell me what it is?
All music is in description!
Dune and Blade Runner were just perfect.
These are all the true best pictures
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
Berry Lyndon, Cries and Whispers, Apocalypse Now, and Days Of Heaven are the the most deserving films on this List
close encounters of third kind was CRAZYY
My favorite was the 1917 hit “2019.” It looks a century ahead of its time.
It’s sad not even one back to the future movie was in there
