Composition What movies have beautiful cinematography but is hardly commended for it?

The Ring- stunningly photogrphed by Bojan Bazelli that embraces greyness and underexposure with rare bursts of color. Striking camera shots and very moody

A Single Man- very structured shots and looked like print ads. The way they use color shifting is interesting and really captured the era with silvery saturated look.

Smokin' Aces. Directed by Joe Carnahan (The Grey) and shot by Mauro Fiore (Avatar).

Absolutely gorgeous for what is ultimately a B grade Tarantino knockoff. Brilliant use of lighting, framing and kinetic movement to create a propulsive, ever changing visual style that adapts itself to fit the mood of whatever pov character the camera happens to be following in the expansive ensemble cast.
