Best Cinematography is subjective, if you’re not going by which movies have won awards for their cinematography – which I am! After all, everyone likes different things, everyone finds different scenes and techniques beautiful. In this respect, watching movies can be like reading books: sometimes you read for the story, sometimes you read for the writing, and sometimes you get lucky and find a book that uses great writing to tell a fantastic story. Similarly, some movies have great plots, some have the best cinematography, and some have both. I’d love to share my opinions with you, by highlighting some movies that maybe aren’t great but are nonetheless visually Stunning, and other films which have fabulous stories and beautiful cinematography. And I can’t wait to hear your opinions about which movies you think have the best cinematography, too!

1. House of 1,000 Corpses

This probably seems like an odd choice, but seriously, I think this movie had some of the best cinematography. It’s one of my favorite horror films, I think Rob Zombie has a very interesting aesthetic, but it’s mainly the scenery that gets to me. The scenes at the end, underground, the bones glowing in the faint slivers of moonlight? That’s just awesome. The Devil’s Rejects has a much better story, but I’ve always thought House of 1,000 Corpses is visually amazing.
