American Cinematographer asked its readers which they thought are the best shot films of the decade (1998 to 2008) and this, below, is their top 50. It's quite a list and certainly worth a read. Every film on here, from the ones I have seen, is beautifully shot and deserves the recognition it has received.

More or less agreeable. Even the films on there that I hate I understand why they're on here. Brokeback is underrated though, should be top 10.
The only one I wasn't quite sure on was Munich. The cinematography didn't strike me as particularly great, especially when you look at the others on that list.
But, other than that, I agree with everything on there. Not necessarily the order, but everything that should be there is present. :)
Brokeback Mountain is generally a very underrated movie! As it's often used alongside derogatory statements aimed at homosexuals, people overlook how amazing that movie is, but it really was one of the best movies that came out in the noughties.
Ledger was never a particularly great actor in my opinion but - as well as the obvious one - his performance in Brokeback Mountain was undoubtedly one of the finest of this last decade too.
You made a great work. Beautiful smiles.

This blog is so cool! I have been wanting to look more into cinematography because I have a friend who does aerial cinematography in Utah and he got me hooked. It is such a cool thing!
