A good film is a real work of art, and slowing things down can sometimes help us appreciate how much artistry and care went into the most beautiful scenes. These movie scenes from cinematic movies will show you that every film still can be as gorgeous as a painting or a stunning photo.

The amount of creative work that goes into creating excellent cinematography is mind-boggling; it's no wonder that there's so much money in Hollywood. It's not just A-list actors' notoriously large salaries - every scene needs cameras, lighting, stage/scene equipment, props, furniture, and people to create/operate all of this equipment. Not to mention hiring the best cinematography experts there are. Many beautiful scenery locations used for filming can involve closing important through-ways for hours at a time, indeed a costly endeavor.

In the end, however, all of that work is worth it; especially when the directors, producers, and other staff create a timeless, work of art, beautiful movies. Please add your favorite best movie scenes to this list!
