Hi,
Im trying to find some great examples of very wide angle shots.
Im already familiar with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Good, the Bad the Ugly............but i was wondering what you guys would recommend?
Cheers

wide angle or wide screen?

Wide Angle
Im looking for really creative, beautiful surreal scenes shot with a wide angle lens. The wider the better.
Sergio Leone and Terry Gilliam use them beautifully, and I want some recommendations on some other films.

Citizen Kane
The Apartment
The Great Escape
Dr. Zhivago
Branded to Kill
Dr. Strangelove
Clockwork Orange
City of Lost Children

any of Dario Argento's movies
any of Vittorio Storaro's movies
any Chrisopher Doyle movies
any Sacha Vierny movies
any Conrad Hall movies
any John Woo movies

Thanks RFranco!
I have Suspiria, Deep Red, Tenebrae, Inferno and Phenomena by Dario Argenta so i might check them out again closely. I agree with Citizen Kane, Dr Zhivago, Dr Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange and City of Lost Children.
I think Blade Runner and Alien by Ridley Scott would have to be up there, Once Upon A Time In The West by Sergio Leone and Scarface by Brian De Palma.

P.S. How can you tell if they use a fisheye or superwide lens opposed to just using a normal wide angle lens?

Yeah, I own 4 leone spaghetti westerns, more wide shots than u can grasp ur grubby film lovin' hands on

BAH! None of you mentioned Akira Kurosawa. For shame! For shame.

Isn't 'Leon' shot overally in the wide angle?

Clockwork Orange has some amazing WA shots. You can probably find them in any Kubrick film.
