The Fall, from 2006.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, and not only is it visually beautiful, the story is too.
Similarly, the cell. Same type of visuals, more of a thriller story.
I love this movie. I wish there was a 4k release
We’ve often described this as “…the best film you’ve never heard of.”
Lawrence of Arabia. The cinematography and score work together to make you feel like the sun is bearing down on you. It isn’t particularly colorful, but it is a true spectacle.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gorgeous animation and endlessly creative.
I love the design of Interstellar. It’s less surreal than other movies but still beautiful. Alien is similarly gorgeous but in a far more haunting way.
Poor Things is extremely surreal and gets progressively ungrounded throughout the movie.
Tron: Legacy to this day remains one of my favorite movies to watch in spite of its dumb story thanks to its awe-some audio and visual design.
Transformers: Age of Extinction stands out in my mind with some of the coolest and weightiest CGI of any movie I’ve seen.
Then there’s live-action steeped in cartoon inspiration which Speed Racer and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World both nailed.
The recent Dune movies blew me away, especially Part 2.
Found your comment by searching dune 2 in this community.
Dune 1 and 2 were just OK for me. I don’t have many negative things to say re the 2 flicks. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I <3 the audio for the Voice.
I appreciate Villeneuve. Aside from Dune 1 and 2, I viewed Sicario, Arrival and Blade runner 2049. None of those is a masterpiece for me, but Blade runner 2049 is his best.

I think it depends on what you mean by stunning. I personally prefer
- The Martian
- Interstellar
- The original LOTR trilogy in 4K HDR, though the fellowship sure has the most beautiful scenes.
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is not very good, as movie, but I keep rewatching it because it’s just so pretty. The music is pretty on point too.
I assume you mean the new one?
Yes, the Ben Stiller one
-
Valerian and the City of 1000 Planets (or whatever it’s called, it’s a few years old at this point)
-
Avatar 2
That’s all that comes to mind ATM.
-
The Thin Red Line
Coraline
Hellboy (Guillermo del Toro version) Hellboy 2: The Golden Army Blade Runner AvatarHas anyone mentioned BARRY LYNDON yet?
Such a good choice!
First ones that came to mind was 300(say what you will). Another that comes to mind though probably not as stunning as I remember is Sin City. And there’s a third on the tip of my tongue that if I remember, I’ll edit it in later.
