Other 'visually beautiful' films?

I know most have probably been mentioned. I guess mentioning it twice shows that more people agree on that so I'll just mention them:

Sunrise (1927) and Barry Lyndon (1975) are easily the most beautiful movies I ever watched.

Tree of Life is absolutely stunning. I guess so are most of Malicks movies. But I only watched this one yet.

Kubricks other work is quite beautifull too. 2001 and EWS are those most people would mention. However his other movies feature different things that are beatifull too: Paths of Glory (not exactly visually beautifull. But those war scenes make you feel nervous), Spartacus (features some good shots and nice colors. Worth watching in concerns of beauty), The Shining (features good colors and so so good shots), FMJ (nice colors and nice lights).


Some of these do just have stunning visuals and aren't exactly beautifull. However in terms of visuals they are all really good.

You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were and I say Why not?

Six pages of replies. Six pages of great film suggestions in terms of visual film making. Still, only one mention of anything by Michelangelo Antonioni. What gives?

I kind of consider Antonioni's "Red Desert" to be a kind of companion piece to "Solaris" in many ways. This is actually a thought that was mentioned to me by a friend who turned me on to "Solaris" after watching "Red Desert" at my suggestion.

Pretty much all of Antonioni's other well known films are also visually beautiful, especially "L'Eclisse". The last seven minutes of that film changed Martin Scorsese's life. Watch it and find out why. Don't read about it to learn what happens - watch it with no preconceived notions and let it "hit you". Certainly my favorite film of ALL TIME.

Many have mentioned various visually beautiful films, so I will name a few others that deserve some credit:

When it comes to Alfred Hitchcock, Vertigo and The Trouble with Harry are easily two of his most visually striking films. California and Vermont look amazing in these two films and the cinematography itself is perfect.

Fantasia (1940) has some stunning animation. It seems quite ethereal at times.

Baraka is one that definitely deserves to be mentioned. Even though it is technically a documentary and not a film, the various locations and the cinematography is astounding in my opinion.

Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life is gorgeous to look at as well.

I would have mentioned 2001: A Space Odyssey, but others have rightfully brought up that one.

Those are the main ones that come into my mind anyway.

1900
Reds
A Love Song for Bobby Long

How about Nobuhiko Ôbayashi's Hausu aka House form 1977 very weird japanese flick with beautiful imagary.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned John Ford's The Searchers yet

"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is progress!"

Et mourir de plaisir (1960, Vadim, Annette Stroyberg)
Il Gattopardo (1963, Visconti, Claudia Cardinale)
La Reine Margot (1994, Isabelle Adjani)
Et Dieu créa la femme (1957, Vadim, Brigitte Bardot)
Alphaville (1965, Godard, Anna Karina)

This list is from a slightly different perspective. The prerequisite here is to also have an actress who looks good.
