It's been a bit since I last talked about Old Movie atmospheres due to my absence on this blog, but I thought that maybe I should still keep up and continue whenever something interests me, as of yesterday, me and mom were driving around places and saw a vintage car and I decided that why not make a post of old movies that are accurate in color! I mostly have watched these films below, great cinematography and visual appeal.
The Searchers is a movie I've been wanting to watch for quite some time now, and I was able to watch half of it, until my DVD wouldn't darn work, but I enjoyed most of it so far. It's the first John Ford movie I saw that's in Technicolor.
Color accurate frame grabs from Hitchcock's Vertigo.
Here's another great scene from The Searchers, where they are on trail in the snow. Reminds me of Bambi for some reason with it's season changes.
I had to mention one movie from the 1940s. I cannot stop talking about A Matter Of Life And Death, it's one of my favorite movies. And I love the blue skies and land in this singular scene.
My favorite scene from Annie Get Your Gun is the train scene with it's beautiful sunset.
This is more close up to the human actors in this picture, but I still like it. Enjoy alot of Betty Hutton stuff even back then she just had power in her voice, I had to watch at least one movie from her.
1939 was color films in their earliest years. Some of the movies weren't that pleasent to look at. But Gone With The Wind still holds up. I love those silhouette scenes of Scarlett O'Hara and the trees.
Now this is a movie I haven't seen but has great scenes. River Of No Return. The mountain setting is one of my favorites in films, it's just so laid-back and relaxing.
This stuff to me I really am quite appealed more to then surrealistic backgrounds, they work great in small doses but whenever I want something grandiose and full of grit and adventure, there's a reason that as of today these movies still look good and how I feel about nature's scenery.
