A River Run Through It
Posted on 7/24/16 at 1:30 am to LSUDAN1
A River Runs Through It is great and underrated, but it's not on the level of some to me.
Barry Lyndon is probably my answer also. I've never seen anything equal it in terms of beauty, technological achievement (the NASA lenses) and uniqueness with all the zooms and such. It's timeless and just "glows" like no other movie I've ever seen. Just pause some of the frames and you'd swear it was a 18th Century painting, which was exactly what Kurick was going for.
Tree of Life is probably second.
Others that stick out( most have already been mentioned):
The Searchers
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Revenant
To The Wonder
No Country For Old Men
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
The Apartment
Last of the Mohicans
Rio Bravo

I rewatched Barry Lyndon tonight and was reminded of how great its cinematography is. It may be GOAT along with Spirit of the Beehive.
Sadly, other than Paths of Glory and Lolita, you almost have to take Kubrick movies as a separate category, otherwise we'll be talking about Barry Lyndon versus 2001 versus Eyes Wide Shut, for example. Dude was a legitimate "genius" although that word gets tossed around too much.
Barry Lyndon was his ultimate display of his own technical knowledge about how lenses capture light onto film, as well as how the team he assembled was able to frame, light, shoot and produce a film that intentionally looks like a moving baroque painting.
But, I'll add a couple of others, just for discussion:
No Country for Old Men
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Blade Runner
Lawrence of Arabia
Apocalypse Now
There Will Be Blood
Saving Private Ryan
Blackhawk Down
The Godfather
Gladiator
Schindler's List
In the grand scheme of things, Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, the Coens and Coppola tended to do the best job of picking/directing cinematographers over their careers. They also tended to do a good job of getting their films scored.
It is what it is.

Anything by Tarkovsky. His movies are boring but his imagery and shots were absolutely breathtaking
Solaris was actually on TMC late at night recently.
I always like to answer best categories with whatever Im feeling most recently. I'm gonna go with "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."

Basically anything Deakins does.
Him not having an Oscar is the greatest injustice in the history of Hollywood.

Kubrick and Malick are the two you can basically just say every film they did.

There's some really good cinematography in Road to Perdition.
Posted on 7/24/16 at 9:27 am to Patrick_Bateman
True Grit had some good cinematography as well but hasn't been mentioned. Obviously I'm referring to the Coens' remake.

I'd go with these 2.
When considering the cinematography and score, combined with the melancholic feel of the movie, The Assassination of Jesse James is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen.
