Here's an article about Scorsese's list of the ten films (20 actually,
10 in English and 10 in other languages) that best use "light and
color." The article only lists five of them. I wonder where we can
find the list online. I tried Philips' website, but couldn't find it
there.

Scorsese sheds light on top pictures By Chris Marlowe

Martin Scorsese has come up with the top 10 films he believes
demonstrate a masterful use of light and color. He actually decided on
doing it twice, once for English-language films and again for
international.
"Films use light and color to tell a story in a special narrative way,
which delivers a strong emotional and intellectual impact on the
viewer," Scorsese said. "That made a very strong impression on me and
has affected how I try to use color in all of my films."
Scorsese's choices include "Singin' in the Rain" (1952, directors
Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly; cinematographer Harold Rosson), "Duel in the
Sun" (1946, director King Vidor; cinematographers Lee Garmes, Ray
Rennahan, Hal Rosson), "The Red Shoes" (1948, directors Michael Powell,
Emeric Pressburger; cinematographer Jack Cardiff), "The River" (1951,
director Jean Renoir; cinematographer Claude Renoir; India/France/U.S.)
and "The Last Emperor" (1987, director Bernardo Bertolucci;
cinematographer Vittorio Storaro).
The alphabetical lists, disclosed Thursday, were the idea of Philips
Electronics, which was looking for a way to promote its Ambilight
FlatTV displays.
