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?

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.
