Movies With the Best Uses of Color of All Time

"Films use light and color to tell a story in a special narrative way," says filmmaker Martin Scorsese, adding that such storytelling techniques "…deliver a strong emotional and intellectual impact on the viewer… [This realization] made a very strong impression on me and has affected how I try to use color in all of my films."
The following list, a scant ten titles, dares to offer Taste of Cinema's selection of the 10 finest examples of color use in motion pictures. While a lengthier list would have obviously been more inclusive, the 10 movies selected here really do represent the pinnacle of eye-popping and emotionally overpowering color use. Don't miss these films (but please do add your suggestions in the comments section below). Enjoy!
