Above is perhaps the most beautiful thing you'll see today: a video essay from movie e-zine FlavorWire meant to reassure us that good cinema still exists.

135 Shots That Will Restore Your Faith in Cinema came to be after readers were asked to vote for their pick of most beautiful movies ever made.

Because they proposed so many of them, the e-zine thought a video essay would be more fitting than a simple list: 86 movies were used for the 135 shots which are, beyond a doubt, almost painfully beautiful.

Of course, the list isn't authoritative and neither does it claim to be so. Its only claim is that it will restore your faith in cinema, so give it a chance, at the very least.
