Blade Runner - TEARS IN RAIN
I love the ending(3:00) when he says "time to die" , it is just beautiful with rain and a bird.

Three Colors, Bleu.

The blue color represents character's sad memory . It has strong emotional impact with music.

5
Amelie
I don't know how he did it- everything is green or red on busy market street. It is  fun and exciting.

6 Shawshank Redemption
The lighting shows character's emotions before he commits suicide.
Dapple sun lights in the park and curtain shadow in the hotel show his outside and inside conflicts. (5:38- 6:20)
And, his face is always in shadow until he looks up the ceiling and suicide. (6:55)
It is sad, but, beautiful.

9. Cabinet der Dr. Caligari
I just think this is a genius work. Every frame looks like expressionism painting.

10.La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) by Director Jean Cocteau 1946
I am amazed that  Jean Cocteau created the magical space  with just playing film backward, costumes, smoke and cinematography.

11.After Life  by
Hirokazu Kore-eda
Souls arrive at a way station between life and death, where they are asked to choose just one memory to take into the afterlife.
For interview shots, the camera angles are all the same, so you can see very the subtle  lighting/set changes.
I like that they framed the people between two windows as if they are in stuck between life and death.

12. Cache 2005  by Michael Haneke
Opening shot and Ending shot is very clever. The shots  look like that somebody is shooting with a video camera with a tripod.
The long still shot looks  bored visually, but, powerful because it is different.
It looks very realistic and makes audience to be engaged more.
