Live Poll: The Impact of Fantastic Visual Imagery in Movies

Intro:

Some movies use surrealistic images to lead the audience into a special narrative for underlining and supporting a captivating story, so they become stunning. We only considered movies with more than 100.000 ratings and an avarage rating of 7.0 or higher (according to April 2024) and also iconic optical milestones, then with even a lower rating than 7.0.

Which of these movies makes the best use of it's images?

Please tell us here.

Suggestions:

Follow the examples, please! But no Documentations, TV-Series, Sci-Fi, animated. Short movies only, if they convince me. No franchises to avoid a flood of franchise movies. Only single movies, which stand for themselves.

Rule-extension: If movies are exemplarily marker for a style in its time, it can be lesser than 7.0/10 - convince me.

@Breumaster ,

Never mind. These two films do not meet your criteria.

For your consideration:

Tommy (1975)

A psychosomatically blind, deaf, and mute boy becomes a master pinball player and, subsequently, the figurehead of a cult.

The Dark Crystal (1982)

On another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and to restore order to his world.

Dan, what should I say? I would really like to pick Tommy on the list, but the rating is to low. But I guess by looking at the images of the trailer, that it should be in. Maybe I'll make exceptions. Let's look. But in general, I would like to keep the ratings of the movies for that kind of poll high. I'll work on it.

I saw The Dark Crystal very long ago and needed the trailer, but can say that it matches the criteria. They didn't only use puppets, but had smoe nice effects. I'll put it on the list.

That was great help, ... as ever! Thank you, Pencho. Your picks are on the list. Videodrome and some of the others were real strange! :D
