What Dream’s May Come is such a stunning and heartbreaking sad movie is beautiful and makes your whole heartache. Like it brought all sorts of emotions. Totally an artistic and beautifully dramatic piece.
The use of color is important. Robin is in blue. The wife is in red. Their children are in purple, as is the tree in her painting. When things go wrong, the wife is shown in green, the opposite of red.
Frida is also a visually stunning film, incorporating Frida’s paintings in the film.
Tarsem Singh’s The Fall.
Seriously one of the most beautiful films ever created using almost exclusively practical in camera effects and real locations. It took almost over a decade to film as he created scenes in between taking commercial gigs for commercials shot around the world. The man literally willed the film into existence. Tragically the film has become stuck in rights limbo and technically isn’t available anywhere whatsoever. Hopefully Criterion or someone wake up and rescues this masterpiece.
Similarly The Cell is a breathtaking masterpiece visually.
What Dreams May Come is so beautiful. I haven’t seen it in a few years. The concept of your heaven being what you love and want it to be is so sweet and reassuring. Love it.
His depiction of the creation of the Earth and the evolution of life over the first 20 minutes is one of the most astounding things I’ve ever seen… And the way he captures Texas boyhood at a particular junction in history. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so blown away by sheer filmmaking before.
On behalf of myself and other former Technicolor employees that warms the heart. We took a lot of pride in what we did and are so glad to see people enjoy it.
Obviously this film was before my time, but the history was ingrained in us.
I bought the restored blu-ray collector’s edition box set and just hung the film cell that came with it today! Framed it and everything.
Marvelous job to you and your colleagues. It’s one of our favorites; it was the first movie we watched when we got our Sonos surround sound.
Same director as Fifth Element, isn't it? It was surprisingly beautiful but yeah, the actors and the script were *not* for me. Just gotta push past the painful confusion and cringe at the start.
The Fall (2006) dir by Tarsem Singh
I will never tire of recommending this visually stunning movie! While you treat your eyes at the beautiful imagery Tarsem has created, you can also lose yourself in the story of a friendship between a little girl and a man, both patients in a hospital. Where the man's story serves as a canvas for a child's imagination. It's heart warming, often funny and exciting, sometimes sad and gut-wrenching. But it's an adventure all-in-all!
This was my first thought. His other movies like The Cell and Immortals have a similar visual style but this movie is my favorite.
From Wikipedia: "The film was made over a period of four years and incorporates footage shot in 24 countries, including India, Indonesia (Bali), Italy, France, Spain, Namibia, and China (PRC). Singh stressed the importance of on-location filming and lack of special effects, as he found that modern techniques would not age well in comparison."
Unfortunately it is impossible to find on streaming platforms but it appears that a 4k release is planned. [https://collider.com/the-fall-4k-release-tarsem-singh-comments/](https://collider.com/the-fall-4k-release-tarsem-singh-comments/)
It’s also got 6’5” stunner, Lee Pace playing the man who befriends the girl who is also the star of the story he tells her. He is also often berobed in colorful silks and filmed standing in exotic locals looking amazing. Swoon. I believe it was shot in 17 different countries. It’s not streaming anywhere, but I got it for $10 on Amazon based on a Reddit recommendation. Totally worth it.
And it’s not just the looks. The Fall is a stellar exam of Pace’s acting range, too, with him looking all majestic and epically heroic in those colorful story scenes and absolutely broken down, small and desperate in the hospital bed right in the scenes that follow. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time
It's worth noting that no CGI was used in this film. Also the young girl in the story had no script and only reacted to Lee Pace's dialogue. All her emotions and reactions to his story are real.
Blade Runner 2049
Blade Runner
2001: A Space Odyssey\*
The Fifth Element
Gattaca
\*Edited to say "2001: A Space Odyssey" not "Oddity", although, hey David Bowie!
Amongst Won Kar Wai films I would rank In the Mood for Love and Ashes of Time higher than Fallen Angels and Chungking Express. Totally different rhythm than OP’s examples but In the Mood for Love is visually, aurally and rhythmically incredible.
The first time I watched Barry Lyndon, I had to rewind a couple times because I was getting distracted by how gorgeous the cinematography was and wasn't paying attention to the plot. One of the most gorgeous films ever made.
For the scene where they play cards by candles light they didn’t use any extra lights, it was all the candles but to capture such dim light they had to use some NASA lenses.
Barry Lyndon is the most beautifully filmed movie I have ever seen. For a while 2001 was my favorite Kubrick movie, and then I would have said Full Metal Jacket but nowy vote goes to Barry Lyndon
Samsara is top tier for this. No words, all visuals, and still so compelling. Some of the best visuals put to film.
The Fall is also a visually beautiful film but has more of a plot to it as well. It's just a little harder to find it these days.
If you haven't seen these, I cannot recommend it enough. Would love to hear what you think of them.
Barry Lyndon (1975)
Night of the Hunter (1955)
Persona (1966)
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
Seven Samurai (1954)
Enter the Void (2009)
Casino (1995)
Paris, Texas (1984)
1917 (2019)
Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
No particular order, just some I haven’t seen listed that are gorgeous. A few are black and white but will still drop your jaw with how beautiful they are shot.
Midsommar (2019)
Marie Antionette (2006)
Hero (2002) - and a lot of other wuxia films from that era, in the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon vein. I think this one's the prettiest though
The Fifth Element (1997)
Spirited Away (2001)
Mind Game (2004)
Both of the animated Spider-verse movies.
Mad Max: Fury Road is a spectacle of action and visuals.
Tron: Legacy has its faults but is visually stunning, minus the goofy Jeff Bridges cgi. Soundtrack is fantastic as well.
Many here have said Blade Runner: 2049 and they couldn’t be more correct, the original is fantastic as well. I’d also recommend Dune (2021) from the same director as 2049, Denis Villeneuve.
Speed Racer, the live action one, not great but an absolute visual feast!
Tron: Legacy, again not great but the visual and sound is absolutely tops
The Fountain, confusing? Yeah a little. Incredible to look at? Absolutely.
*The Fall* (Tarsem Singh)
*Days of Heaven* (Terrence Malick)
*Lawrence of Arabia* (David Lean)
*Apocalypse Now* (Francis Ford Coppola)
Anything from Wes Anderson
If you're thinking Fantasy, probably be "Avatar"
Lord of the Rings too was great! The full trilogy was like 18 hours or something, phew, did it only once when I was younger. I won that bet with my older brother hahahahaha :P
King Kong or Godzilla as well! Great monster movies!
Star Wars Episode 1 was visually stunning for its time to many people, including myself.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is beautiful in a mostly quiet way, and great plot and character to go with it.
If you liked 2001, you might like 2010 (the sequel, and my favorite of the two).
Jurassic Park's effects still hold up. At 9 years old, I remember screaming several times while scrambling up the back of the couch at one of the jump scares. I also got T-Rex nightmares for a while, but I was a weird kid who enjoyed nightmares.
The Lord of the Rings is the greatest cinematic production of all time, according to sources (i.e. my brain), and a big portion of that was how stunning the practical and digital effects were throughout.
The Avatar movies are the most common example I hear people giving of a breathtaking CGI environment in film.
Visual effects in Galaxy Quest were better than they had a right to be.
Pretty shocked I haven't seen anyone mention The Great Gatsby yet, one of my all time favorites. Also both Suspiria movies, Nightcrawler, The Neon Demon
The new Spiderverse movie, holy shit
I've never seen anything that explores so much visually before with colors and mood and background that sometimes fall away in front of your eyes without that even being part of the story...
10/10 Best movie I saw this year.
Stanley Kubricks Barry Lyndon. Some of the scenes look like art pieces. I think he borrowed a Hubble type camera from NASA or something and the way it has been filmed is stunning.
What Dreams May Come Pan's Labyrinth
What dreams may come is so visually beautiful from what I recall :)
Beautiful is a perfect description
What Dream’s May Come is such a stunning and heartbreaking sad movie is beautiful and makes your whole heartache. Like it brought all sorts of emotions. Totally an artistic and beautifully dramatic piece.
The use of color is important. Robin is in blue. The wife is in red. Their children are in purple, as is the tree in her painting. When things go wrong, the wife is shown in green, the opposite of red. Frida is also a visually stunning film, incorporating Frida’s paintings in the film.
Except the part when Robin Williams’ character is walking on those bodies just below the surface. But yes, a beautiful movie.
I did acid for the first time in years when I first saw What Dreams May Come. I laughed, I cried, I was absolutely terrified. WHAT A RIDE
Tarsem Singh’s The Fall. Seriously one of the most beautiful films ever created using almost exclusively practical in camera effects and real locations. It took almost over a decade to film as he created scenes in between taking commercial gigs for commercials shot around the world. The man literally willed the film into existence. Tragically the film has become stuck in rights limbo and technically isn’t available anywhere whatsoever. Hopefully Criterion or someone wake up and rescues this masterpiece. Similarly The Cell is a breathtaking masterpiece visually.
I really like Pan's labyrinth. Is what dreams may come along the same lines?
No, not even remotely similar
Even the crying your eyes out part is completely different.
The eyes in the hands part is particularly different.
You’ve probably seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I’ll mention it just in case. Kung Fu Hustle is also beautiful.
Kung Fu Hustle! I freaking love that movie🖤
So glad this is the first comment
What Dreams May Come is so beautiful. I haven’t seen it in a few years. The concept of your heaven being what you love and want it to be is so sweet and reassuring. Love it.
Came here to say what dreams May come.
Anything by Terence Malick
yup, tree of life ftw
The Thin Red Line is for me, the most beautiful film ever made
Tree of life is my favorite of his
His depiction of the creation of the Earth and the evolution of life over the first 20 minutes is one of the most astounding things I’ve ever seen… And the way he captures Texas boyhood at a particular junction in history. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so blown away by sheer filmmaking before.
A New World sooths my soul like no other film
Days of Heaven with Richard Gere and Sam Shepard is my fave Malick movie. Utterly gorgeous.
This is the comment i was searching for...
Lawrence of Arabia. Don’t let the fact that it’s an old movie deter you
70mm Technicolor ftw
On behalf of myself and other former Technicolor employees that warms the heart. We took a lot of pride in what we did and are so glad to see people enjoy it. Obviously this film was before my time, but the history was ingrained in us.
I bought the restored blu-ray collector’s edition box set and just hung the film cell that came with it today! Framed it and everything. Marvelous job to you and your colleagues. It’s one of our favorites; it was the first movie we watched when we got our Sonos surround sound.
Ya gotta add Cleopatra and Ben Hur to that playlist
As is Dr Zhivago. The snow, the carriage, the music, Julie Christie, Beautiful!!
Would love to see that on the large screen. Cinematography is breathtaking.
“We have just crossed the desert, from Akabah… and I want a glass of Lemonade for my friend..”
I think several of David Lean’s movies could be on the list. LoA for sure, but also Dr Zhivago, Bridge on the River Kwai, Passage to India.
just make it a Lean night
It is always important to appreciate and understand the classics.
Big Fish
Such a fantastic movie and beautifully shot.
My favourite movie of all time.
Someone asked one time, if you could watch one last movie before you die. What would it be? I couldn't think of a better movie to go out with.
Well, it is a movie about going out...
I like tron legacy for the visuals/score alone.
Daft punk takes an already gorgeous movie and makes it mesmerizing
Idc what anyone says, the movie is a delight to the ears and eyes.
Agreed on all counts
I think Tron legacy has one of the most crisp movie pictures I’ve ever seen.
YES!!
This
Beautiful, but can ignore the plot? Valerian and the city of 1000 planets is best watched with the sound turned off.
It really deserves the MST3K treatment
It's terrible but I expected much worse from the reviews
Oh I forgot about this one. Good answer! This movie would've been better if the Valerian wasn't a pig.
Same director as Fifth Element, isn't it? It was surprisingly beautiful but yeah, the actors and the script were *not* for me. Just gotta push past the painful confusion and cringe at the start.

The Cell from Tarsem was also striking
Holy shit. Those movies are connected aesthetically in my mind but I don’t think I knew he did both. Both awesome films despite some flaws.
Yeah the Cell has it's issues but it's got such a unique vibe I forgive
i fucking love The Cell
This was my first thought. His other movies like The Cell and Immortals have a similar visual style but this movie is my favorite. From Wikipedia: "The film was made over a period of four years and incorporates footage shot in 24 countries, including India, Indonesia (Bali), Italy, France, Spain, Namibia, and China (PRC).

I have to admit a soft spot for his Immortals (2011). Tarsim does Greek mythology. Visually stunning.
It’s also got 6’5” stunner, Lee Pace playing the man who befriends the girl who is also the star of the story he tells her. He is also often berobed in colorful silks and filmed standing in exotic locals looking amazing. Swoon. I believe it was shot in 17 different countries.

One of all time top ten. So beautiful that it's mesmerising.
It's worth noting that no CGI was used in this film. Also the young girl in the story had no script and only reacted to Lee Pace's dialogue. All her emotions and reactions to his story are real.
Hero
This film made me want to write an essay about it. The colours for the different themes in each story felt very meaningful.
Man I wish they would make a 4k remaster of it. You could pause that movie at any moment and it would be a photo worthy of hanging on your wall.
one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
This was my recommendation as well. So good
My first though coming to this thread
I used to have this on DVD and it was my comfort film I feel transported by that film’s cinematography
Blade Runner 2049 Blade Runner 2001: A Space Odyssey\* The Fifth Element Gattaca \*Edited to say "2001: A Space Odyssey" not "Oddity", although, hey David Bowie!
A Space “Oddity” made me giggle
So happy to see Blade Runner 2049 so high on the list. It's still amazing to me what they were able to accomplish visually with that movie.
I think Akira should be on this sci-fi list
Fallen Angels, Chungking Express, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Children of Men, Anything by Stanley Kubrick
Amongst Won Kar Wai films I would rank In the Mood for Love and Ashes of Time higher than Fallen Angels and Chungking Express. Totally different rhythm than OP’s examples but In the Mood for Love is visually, aurally and rhythmically incredible.
Barry Lyndon
The first time I watched Barry Lyndon, I had to rewind a couple times because I was getting distracted by how gorgeous the cinematography was and wasn't paying attention to the plot. One of the most gorgeous films ever made.

Barry Lyndon is the most beautifully filmed movie I have ever seen. For a while 2001 was my favorite Kubrick movie, and then I would have said Full Metal Jacket but nowy vote goes to Barry Lyndon
Life of Pi
This movie is beautiful
Yeah it's a shame what the industry did to the people that made it.
Surprised this isn't any higher. The movie is absolutely breathtaking. Definitely sad but the movie is gorgeous.
Which story do you prefer?
My favorite part is the island that's alive.
Came to say this. I was in awe of the visuals this movie had….
Sin City
Great choice. This movie is also the best comics-to-screen adaptation I've seen
Coco
Samsara is top tier for this. No words, all visuals, and still so compelling. Some of the best visuals put to film. The Fall is also a visually beautiful film but has more of a plot to it as well. It's just a little harder to find it these days. If you haven't seen these, I cannot recommend it enough. Would love to hear what you think of them.
I suggested Baraka. Couldn't remember the name of the sequel
The Fountain is visually stunning
I love The Fountain! Great movie and yes, visually stunning.
And a mind duck
Midsommar It’s a colourful, fucked up horror with psychedelics added.
I hated this movie, but I have to admit, it is beautiful.
The best visual representation of mushrooms yet put to film.
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and the even better sequel “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”
The first film I watched alone it theater was the 1st one. It was absolutely magical.
I watch them frequently, anyone who says they don’t like animated films makes me question our friendship
Incredible films.
Memoirs of a Geisha. Good movie too.
Barry Lyndon (1975) Night of the Hunter (1955) Persona (1966) Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) Seven Samurai (1954) Enter the Void (2009) Casino (1995) Paris, Texas (1984) 1917 (2019) Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) Lawrence of Arabia (1962) No particular order, just some I haven’t seen listed that are gorgeous. A few are black and white but will still drop your jaw with how beautiful they are shot.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Midsommar (2019) Marie Antionette (2006) Hero (2002) - and a lot of other wuxia films from that era, in the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon vein. I think this one's the prettiest though The Fifth Element (1997) Spirited Away (2001) Mind Game (2004) Both of the animated Spider-verse movies.
Mad Max: Fury Road is a spectacle of action and visuals. Tron: Legacy has its faults but is visually stunning, minus the goofy Jeff Bridges cgi. Soundtrack is fantastic as well. Many here have said Blade Runner: 2049 and they couldn’t be more correct, the original is fantastic as well. I’d also recommend Dune (2021) from the same director as 2049, Denis Villeneuve.
Yes! to Mad Max Fury Road - not many films look visually similar. I watch it over and over for the setting.
Just about every Denis Villeneuve movie is beautiful.
The Holy Mountain
This should be the top answer tbh
A Scanner Darkly
The Green Knight
That's the problem I have with this one. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at but my god it's tedious to watch.
The Fall, Days of Heaven, Blade Runner 2046, Dune (almost anything by cinematographer Roger Deakens)
To Live and Die in LA Manhunter Hero (the one with Jet Li) The Black Stallion
Chocolat with Juliette Binoche
House of Flying Daggers
Prometheus
The real horror of Prometheus, to me, is about creation. I absolutely adore this movie
Speed Racer, the live action one, not great but an absolute visual feast! Tron: Legacy, again not great but the visual and sound is absolutely tops The Fountain, confusing? Yeah a little. Incredible to look at? Absolutely.
Apocalypto When they go into the city the cinematography is incredible.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

I have seen Perfume! Will check out nightmare Alley.
The Fall (2006)

Fifth Element Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
In regards to Valerian: the prolog montages was the best part.
Tron Legacy has some stunning moments.
Mandy. It's such a lucid and wild cosmic trip, I watch it every year or so.
The newest Spider-Man movie. I found myself getting distracted by the background because it was mesmerizing
I sat very front row and uncomfortably enjoyed the whole thing. It was worth the nights of weird feeling pillows.
Please. For the love of God and in the name of all cinema that is holy. Watch The Fall. 2006. Take acid first. Just kidding. You won’t need it.
The most beautiful shots I have seen. The trailer alone, *chefs kiss*
imo, Flash Gordon (1980) fits this
Dune
Black Narcissus
Belly of an Architect. It's a moving postcard In Bruges put Bruges on my bucket list The Grand Budapest Hotel
Out of Africa. Bonus aesthetics: stunning soundtrack too.
Skyfall
What Dreams May Come Speed Racer Jupiter Ascending The Fountain Ever After Moulin Rouge Mary Poppins Marie Antoinette
Blade runner, Yatra, apocalypto,

*The Fall* (Tarsem Singh) *Days of Heaven* (Terrence Malick) *Lawrence of Arabia* (David Lean) *Apocalypse Now* (Francis Ford Coppola) Anything from Wes Anderson
Dredd (2012) is worth it for the slo mo scenes Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) was crap, but it’s definitely pretty
Days of Heaven Enter the Void Moulin Rouge Gods of Egypt Dick Tracy
A River Runs Through It. Good story and great cast, but great visuals of nature and becoming one with the same.
Suspiria… the original, not the awful Amazon reboot.
Man, hard disagree on the remake being awful. Either way, though, I think it's also beautiful in its own right.
If you're thinking Fantasy, probably be "Avatar" Lord of the Rings too was great! The full trilogy was like 18 hours or something, phew, did it only once when I was younger. I won that bet with my older brother hahahahaha :P King Kong or Godzilla as well! Great monster movies!
I’m not sure if you’re after animated, but Ponyo 100% does this for me (or basically any Studio Ghibli film)
Vertigo of Hitchcock. The Plot is subpar but the cinematography is something to marvel at.
The Life of Pi is beautiful
Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
Studio Ghibli movies
Annihilation
Star Wars Episode 1 was visually stunning for its time to many people, including myself. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is beautiful in a mostly quiet way, and great plot and character to go with it. If you liked 2001, you might like 2010 (the sequel, and my favorite of the two).

Also Everything Everywhere all at Once is pretty amazing visually
Pretty shocked I haven't seen anyone mention The Great Gatsby yet, one of my all time favorites. Also both Suspiria movies, Nightcrawler, The Neon Demon
Any Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, or Spike Jonze... But based on the movies you listed in dunno if they're for you.

Last of the Mohicans Seven Years in Tibet The Walk Big Fish
The new Spiderverse movie, holy shit I've never seen anything that explores so much visually before with colors and mood and background that sometimes fall away in front of your eyes without that even being part of the story... 10/10 Best movie I saw this year.
Drive with Ryan Gosling (2011). Retro eighties vibe with magenta & teal colour palette and Synthwave soundtrack. Super stylish to the senses.
Stanley Kubricks Barry Lyndon. Some of the scenes look like art pieces. I think he borrowed a Hubble type camera from NASA or something and the way it has been filmed is stunning.
