Movies that integrate colors to tell the story! - Blu-ray Forum

zen007 · 11-02-2019, 07:58 PM

Though I have many films on my wishlist, I want to discuss films that integrate colors to tell the story. Examples of films that have wowed me include:

Films by the Archers such as
1. Black Narcissus
2. Red Shoes. Talking about Red Shoes, the below ballet could have great potential on 4K HDR:

Hitchcock ones esp. those in VistaVision or similar:
3. To Catch A Theif. One of the most beautiful looking films
4. Vertigo. Uses colors impactfully
5. North by Northwest

6. Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Below a video on its restoration:

Discuss such films here!

One film that I am meaning to watch is the 1951 Captain Hornblower. It is still on DVD:

Xanadu. Even though the movie bombed at the box-office and received bad reviews, but Xanadu was an extremely colorful movie, and it helped tell the story of muses and fantasy. The Wizard of Oz surely integrates colors when Dorothy landed in the world of Oz.

There's a joke somewhere in this thread, but I ain't about to tell it.

Pleasantville and What Dreams May Come, would be dream releases for me personally.

Every single film ever made by a competent director throughout the start of color film.

Beautiful use of colors in this film.

Logan's Run. Colors are integral to what phase of life you are in. Colors are life and death in that world.

Pleasentville was amazing in how they blended black and white together seamlessly. Technically it was the first film digital graded, beating the coens in 2000 but they used the first full DI
