The Maltese Falcon uses lighting to put her in jail before she's there.
The exorcist uses lighting to show the terror of our villain.
Baraka is one of the most beautifully shot films in history, using slightly askew lighting to tell a narrative that is equally askew of out world.
Days of heaven, which i watched thanks to you, is just stunning. The golden hour lighting turns landscapes into portraits.
Stark color contrast is used in The Last Emporer to assign meaning to visuals. Red for menace paints our protagonits.
Raise the red lantern floods every shot with color, making it essential viewing for a film that breaks all the rules so well.
The Third Man is iconic for it's pitch black blacks and it's huge exaggerated shadows.
The Cook, The Thief, His wife, and Her Lover is a film with a very unique visual style. The frame is always crowded with stuff which is all lit perfectly. I can only imagine how they made this work.
(with abotu 30,000 K, right?)
Amelie is a very saturated film which adds a unique flavor to it. But when it comes to films enhanced by a color tone..
O Brother Where Art Thou, for good or ill, introduced us to orange and teal. The color correction duo that every blockbuster since has strives to imitate. Howeever what always set this apart was the beautiful natural lighting that went along with this color. Everything pops.
