Best Films about Photographers
http://www.topphotographyfilms.com/vide … hy-movies/ Most of these look pretty interesting. Does anybody have any to add? Feb 06 14 05:55 pm Link Eyes of Laura Mars Feb 06 14 06:02 pm Link Richard Avedon "Darkness & Light" American Masters Available on Youtube Feb 06 14 06:08 pm Link One Hour Photo ... oh um ... wait!  He wasn't really a photographer! So how about some Hard Candy? Ouch! Not so good for photographers! "Strangers shouldn't talk to little girls!" Feb 06 14 06:26 pm Link Feb 06 14 06:31 pm Link Two cool ones: Guinevere A youngun' and an older photographer  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160338/ High Art Love stuff and a cool Leica http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139362/ Feb 06 14 06:46 pm Link Blow Up Feb 06 14 07:35 pm Link Yep, "Under Fire" with Nick Nolte, Ed Harris and Gene Hackman "Salvador" with James Woods and James Belushi "Bang Bang Club" with Ryan Phillipe and Malin Akerman "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart "Harrison's Flowers" "Triage" with Colin Farrell "The Problem" with Connie Nielsen I also seem to recall that there's a movie called "High Art" in which Ally Sheedy and someone else become a lesbian couple, Sheedy is a photographer with a heroin addiction. Also, "Welcome to Sarajevo"...I think the American in the film (Woody Harrelson) is a photojournalist. --Ed Feb 06 14 08:13 pm Link For a fun period piece check out Funny Face. Fred Astaire channels Richard Avedon with Audry Hepburn as his muse in a parody of the fashion photography business. Avedon was a consultant and shot the black and white fashion stills. His real muse Dovima (the lady with the elephants in the famous photo) appears as the super model. Feb 06 14 08:25 pm Link Blue Ash Film Group wrote: Great post. I have seen a good number of these, including Laura Mars and of course Blow Up. I saw this one a number of years back, sort of based on Weegee, The Public Eye. And here is a relatively recent one, for Horror film and Clive Barker fans, Feb 06 14 08:47 pm Link Love Exposure Feb 06 14 09:08 pm Link "The War Photographer" Very heavy!!!!!! Feb 06 14 10:45 pm Link 'Closer' and the earlier mentioned 'Hard Candy' come to mind Also online I found a documentary about Bill Cunningham: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ivhYiInmq7Y/ I liked it!  Feb 06 14 11:15 pm Link 'Peeping Tom', directed by Michael Powell. Opening scene here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ss1W4IeGc Feb 06 14 11:42 pm Link Pecker (1998) It's a John Waters film about this small town photographer kid who gets discovered and shown in New York. But really....it's a commentary on the absurdity of the modern art scene. Pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYiIXtdg9TM Feb 07 14 02:32 pm Link afplcc-Glamour wrote: Here's my image of James Woods beneath the "Salvador" poster, taken at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Feb 07 14 03:56 pm Link City of God. The young aspiring photographer story line is secondary but definitely worth a watch. Great film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317248/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Feb 08 14 06:44 am Link "Memento" Well, not really . . . . but kinda is. But here is a GREAT documentary on Guy Bourdin.

Photographer Posts: 4288 Amundsen-Scott - permanent station of the US, Unclaimed Sector, Antarctica These have been mentioned, but I'll give my own plug for the Avedon piece. Fiction works, I love: Salvador Pecker Under Fire High Art And even though it isn't about photography, the single shot of Liv Ullman from 'Persona' makes it worthy of mention (IMHO)  Feb 11 14 05:36 am Link Gordon Parks Half Past Autumn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyVZTrB5eAw George Hurrell Documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn-LEt8dQQM Ansel Adams Documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvt1ImIKi0U Feb 11 14 05:49 am Link James Woods is a conservative though Feb 11 14 06:02 am Link
