I just finished re-watching Schindler's List. Damn, it's got to be one of the most beautifully photographed films I've ever seen, it's close to perfection. It really looks old, and more like a documentary than a film. You get that brutal feeling that it's real, with the gritty newsreel black and white.

Anyone want to dig up some caps? Pretty please? One of the train arriving at Auschwitz would be very nice.

that shot in "The Godfather part 1" when Al Pacino is at dinner with the guy and the cop and comes out of the bathroom and shoots them when the subway car is passing.....holy shit

Not exactly perfectly composed, but perfect in my book is the shot behind the back of Adam Sandler in PDL after Lena calls him in the front lobby, where he's looking at the sign to find the direction to her apartment.  Anyone have a cap of that one?

Oskar Schindler's Grave.

Hey ! That's on Jerusalem's Lutheran  grave! I pass near there like every Saturday.

[Just Withnail]

is this one of them?

Definitely   That's one scary moment. Have you ever seen a more evil searchlight? (Don't any of you dare to bring up the "Searchlight of Sauron")

on the topic of shots in PDL, i really love the one where Sandler comes charging out of the the matress store and walks offscreen after confronting Philip Seymour Hoffman. anyone got that?
