9092

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
9093

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
  2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Not only was it the first feature-length animated film, the development of the multi-plane camera gave it a depth and style that nobody had ever seen in any animation before.

9094

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
  2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel

Emblematic of Wes Anderson’s style: symmetrical framing of shots, whip pans and tracking shots, a pastel color palette, and intricately detailed sets.

9095

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
  2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  4. The Blair Witch Project

Although the “found footage” technique had been in use at least a decade prior to this film, it is credited with having kicked off a renaissance that has been employed by successive filmmakers to this day.

9096

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
  2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  4. The Blair Witch Project
  5. Star Wars: Episode 4, A New Hope

Scifi movies before Lucas looked sleek and polished. Afterwards, not so much.

9097

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange
  2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  4. The Blair Witch Project
  5. Star Wars: Episode 4, A New Hope
  6. Dark City

Set in a big, nameless city where it’s forever night, and where buildings writhe and change while everyone sleeps. A perfect mix of noir and sf.

9098

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange

  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  4. The Blair Witch Project
  5. Star Wars: Episode 4, A New Hope
  6. Dark City
  7. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

The background setting of sharp angles and painted shadows lent a sense of unease and dread to the overall story.

9099

Films with a distinctive visual style
(or, maybe, at least distinctive at the time they were released; the filmmakers can’t help it if someone comes along later and imitates them)

  1. A Clockwork Orange

  3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  4. The Blair Witch Project
  5. Star Wars: Episode 4, A New Hope
  6. Dark City
  7. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
  8. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Very grand, arthousey style; the setting is a fancy restaurant in modern-day London modelled after something out of a Dutch Master’s painting, even the kitchen.

  6. Dark City
  7. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
  8. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
  9. Dick Tracy

Done mostly in bright primary colors, to imitate the comic strip.

  10. A Scanner Darkly (2006)

Shot digitally and then traced with interpolated rotoscope, to give it half way between animated and live action feel.

Movies you’ve never watched all the way through but have seen enough pieces of it you might as well have.

  1. The Shining
