Legends of the Fall had some pretty good cinematoghraphy if I remember correctly.

.. or was it Brad Pitt?

Don't normally drool over the guy, but he looked pretty darn good in his long hair, riding his horse over all that beautiful country side .. maybe that's what I remember, lol.

"Never Cry Wolf", I always wonder about the shot with the wolves.

"Enigma"

"Cliffhanger", I can't stand Stallone or the girl, but the movie is pretty good. The scenery is fantastic. Someone told me that it was flimed up in British Columbia on (IIRC) Route 99 between Vancouver and Whistler.

"Ronin".

Almost anything with extended shots of San Francisco or Paris.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Fantastic river scenery and the flyfishing shots were absolutely artistic.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - There is a very good reason this movie won an Oscar for Cinematography. Watch this movie and at any time, during any scene you can hit pause and have a picture worthy of a postcard. Flawless scenery in this movie.

Absolutely. My favorite scenes: When the huge sunflower starts dropping petals in the army hospital and the sled scene/when the little girl keeps singing "Ho, ho, ho, I love the snow!"
