Name a film that inspires you. This can be the last film that inspired you, or your favorite film that inspires you.

My pick is Finding Nemo! It has some of the most beautiful color palettes and environments. It happens to also have an amazing soundtrack. ;)

I actually just did a physics project on that movie. I had to prove that all the colors can't be seen underwater. :]

Great question kqeda! I would have to say, your probably going to laugh but I think Wizard of Oz, when she goes to Oz in Technicolour of course. There are some great colours in that film, and its a classic, am I right?

I also love Finding Nemo, and its sound track and have to agree that it has some AWESOME Colours!!!

Mine is Mr Magorium's Emporium

I'm with you Miss Moonlight...The wizard of Oz...it is full of amazing colour symbolism...

I have the 3 disc collectors edition...

The films of Miyazaki including: Porco Rosso, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service...

I especially appreciate the water and light in his films.

Oh I agree! He really pays attention to light, and light on water - there's that fabulous sequence in Spirited Away when they travel by train. And the forest in Princess Mononoke. Clouds too. What an amazing guy. I've just been reading the interviews with him and articles he has written - you can find them on Nausicaa.net

Ace question, I'd have to say the lion king, loads of rich burnt Autumn colours

Oh man! The autumn colors are terrific! I love their dark moods in that film also. Mainly towards the end they managed to pull some dark and gloomy moods. Great film!

hmm I'd have to say Pan's labyrinth and the science of sleep are 2 movies with amazing colors that I love a lot.

I have not seen either yet. I have heard really good things about both, though.

/Enters in to-do list. :)

I really enjoy colors Tim Burton creates in his film. A movie that wasn't too great, but had amazing atmospheres was his version of 'Planet of the Apes." Of course, his Edward Scissor Hands was amazing, along with Corpse Bridge.

I find The Village very inspiring. The countryside where they shot it is so picturesque and all of the colours are so earthy.

Super scary movie! >_<

The Wizard of Oz!

It's my favorite movie of ALL TIME...and I created a palette series for it. Haha :D

I'm with despise -- Pan's Labyrinth is a fantastic film filled with fantastic colors.

From a pure colour perspective, the films of Yimou Zhang. I've only seen the "popular" ones, but still . . . wow.

Curse of the Golden Flower
House of Flying Daggers
Hero

I recently rewatched Barton Fink for the first time in yeeeeears and I noticed a striking, recurring palette in the movie. I don't think it ever would have registered were it not for CL developing my "colour radar":

It's rare bright yellows and reds work for me, but this film was a great example how they can work! Totally agree!

A movie from Norway : Elling.
I have to see it at least once a month.

I don't tend to take interest in pretentious art films. :)

I never run into many people that have seen it, but there's this awesome Brian de Palma movie called Phantom of the Paradise that's really dated, but the cinematography is so awesome and colorful. It's kind of a ridiculous movie. I really love it for that.
