Sadly, true artistic and beautiful filmmaking is becoming a dying art. Even old timey scene lighting and techniques is becoming a lost skill with the advent of digital and computers. I get it, there's a ton more money to be potentially be made in huge cgi movies, but you're right, the soul of moving pictures is the ability to capture the world's natural beauty.

I can't find the specific shot, but this is just before the shot I love of the team "descending into hell" right before they enter the tunnel in Sicario.
It is fricking awe inspiring. Literally.
And the other awe inspiring shot, though it looks like shite on the Hollywood Reporter's website:
Deakins again

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, the shot of Indiana up on the hill side, presiding over the dig to find the Ark, with the Sahara sun blazing and setting into the desert...that particular scene right there is what I consider to be an iconic shot.
Also, again Spielberg, in Jaws when the boat is out to sea and Quint is leaning on the rail of the bow with his gun in hand, shooting star behind him....i love that shot.

The Right Stuff.
Almost anything by Oliver Stone. (He's full of shite, but he makes visually wonderful films.)

Fiddler On The Roof has to be up near the top also.

Probably my least favorite shot of that movie. Something about the way he's holding the knife just makes it a little cheesy to me

Can I say Interstellar without getting assaulted? Seeing that on the big screen was a treat.
I know this is a small sample and a little off topic, but the walkoff shot after Iron Man shoots the middle down the barrel of the tank was one of my favorite comic book movie moments. It's everything that a superhero movie should be.
On that note, Superman cruising above the earth with a little wink as the sun rises over the horizon with John Williams score in the background is up there too,
I'm not trying to compare these to John Ford or TGTBATU, but they are just great shots for me.
Also, has anyone mentioned the aerial scenes in Top Gun?

Dances with Wolves was pretty incredible.
ETA...just saw that I was late in adding it in.

One that always stuck with me was Letters from Iwo Jima. Beautifully shot and just a great, great movie.

I agree. I saw it at the cinema - and whatever problems they had with the soundtrack mix in places, it was a fantastically shot film. I think Nolan does a good job, even with a "smaller" picture such as Memento of framing, lighting - all the usual tools a good cinematographer brings to the set - his vision shines through.
Add to that Interstellar was a clear homage (without parody) of 2001 and it would have failed with less than, pardon the pun, stellar cinematography. The scope of the picture helped, of course, with the space sequences and the plantscapes.

As far as superhero movies go, I always like the scenes in Ang Lee's Hulk where Hulk is jumping across the desert. I think that movie gets more hate than it deserves. The cinematography is better than it should for that type of movie.

We may both be in the minority here on this one, but I liked both the pre-Ruffalo Hulk films. I think Lee's only real failure was to rein in the crazy Nick Nolte as Banner's father - the rest of the film was better than fine and, as you say, the cinematography in places was outstanding. Bana gave the best scene yet as Banner recovering from the fight with the dogs and expressing what it was like - the rage personified.
Norton was fine as well, in the "reboot" that saw a more personal, individual story. It fit the modern idea of a superhero movie better, overall, but even with Roth as the villain, I was underwhelmed by the whole package, although I did like the film.

Children of Men is near perfect. I'm also a big fan of the camera work in Upstream Color. Beautiful film.

I never really notice cinematography. I'm not that advanced. But I did notice it in Chungking Express. It's always stuck with me.
