The Matrix (1999) by Movie Barcode. Definitely checkout the rest of the site. Colour scheming is a subtle and complicated art. Most people can watch something for two hours and not realise that every scene has a slight blue or green tint. The Matrix was the movie which twigged me to this with the strong blue in the real world and the artificial fluoro green in the Matrix. Fun tip: Fluorescent lights are generally made with phosphor which has a blue-green deficiency. Other elements are mixed in to produce a uniform white light, however these decays at different rates to phosphor giving older fluorescent lights that depressing green tint.
