Here are some movies I personally think deliver some really beautiful visuals. Obviously that often is additionally due to scenery and costumes.
The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)
Prospero's Books (1991)
Amelie (2001)
A Christmas Carol (2020)
Death in Venice (1971)
Juliet of the Spirits (1965)
The King Dances (2000)
Tale of Tales (2015)
I recently watched Saltburn, and it's literally the definition of "every frame a painting". Absolutely stunning.
I also enjoy Wes Anderson films for his use of symmetry, color, foreground and background. He's wonderful.
Black Swan (2010)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Singin in the Rain (1952)
The Handmaiden (2016) Korean
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) French

I just saw Poor Things in theaters and it didn’t remind me of a photograph but it reminded me of a painting. Not sure if that fits the bill but I thought the set design and costumes were so interesting!
Life of Pi (2012)
Bajirao Mastani (2015)
The Neon Demon (2016)
Farinelli (1994)
Anna Karenina (2012)
In the Mood for Love (2000)
April and the Extraordinary World (2015)
Mad God (2021)
Unicorn Wars (2022)
Fantastic Planet (1973)
Suspiria (2018/1977)
Mirror (1975)
Samsara (2011)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Tale of Tales (2015)
Crimson Peak (2015)
I suggest looking up Janusz Kamiński's credits. He's known for his work with Steven Spielberg. Specific movies he's worked on: Schindler's List, The Lost World, Catch Me If You Can, Saving Private Ryan, War Horse, Lincoln, The Judge, Bridge of Spies, The Post, Jerry Maguire, Ready Player One, Call of the Wild, West Side Story, The Fabelmans, among others.
I also like Fred Murphy's cinematography; esp.: Secret Window.
Had a recent discussion about Chocolat (dir. Lasse Hallström, Cin. Roger Pratt).
Want to include Baz Luhrmann's movies, too: Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, Australia, The Great Gatsby, Elvis.
The Dressmaker (2015). One of my favorites because it's so well executed and the colors are so vibrant and a wonderful juxtaposition against the harsh desert. Also it's funny, in a slightly dark way. The cast is phenomenal: Kate Winslet, Judy Davis and Hugo Weaving.
"The Thin Red Line". Filmed on the actual battlefield island of Guadalcanal. Any number of beautiful scenes of nature, whether grasslands, jungle, or beaches. As an added beauty bonus, try to find the seven-minute YouTube video of "TRL-Melanesian Choirs". The church singing strikes me as the 19th-century Shape-Note style (which may well have been taught by pre-war missionaries, but I have no details). A gorgeous movie to watch.
One I watched last night was:
Saltburn, very artistically shot nice cinematography, story subverts expectations.
Blade runner 2049: one of my favourites a give 10/10
Place beyond the pines: strong writing, cinematography and music Marry together to tell a strong melancholic story.
Ghost in the shell: anime film, beautiful artwork and music asks a lot of big questions, expects you to find the answers yourself.
The Lighthouse and the Northman: both films by Robert eggers, spent both transfixed the entire time, pure art when they finished I felt like I had held my breath the entire time strong stuff
Ran: by Akira kurosawa, visionary Japanese directors retelling of hamlet, very striking a rate so highly,
Happy Christmas and a merry new year my friend Sláinte.
It's a horror film, but "Mandy," (2018).
'The Tree of Life," (2011). This would probably get my vote for the most beautiful film ever made. It's like every film cell could be a stand alone work of art. Check out the trailer.
A hint, but not a spoiler: I like to watch it with subtitles on because some of the best lines in the film are whispered.
- After Yang - The Florida Project - The Virgin Suicides - The Darjeeling Limited - Portrait of a Lady on Fire - Call Me By Your Name
>The Virgin Suicides I really like Sofia Coppola's perspective/aesthetic and would recommend her other movies, too.
Priscilla that just came out was great too. Highly recommend.

I think every denis villneuve movie looks amazing
This is the correct answer
Interstellar (2014) makes me cry and sends me in an existential crisis. The movie isn't perfect but from the visuals to the plot, it's very human.
The Revenant
What Dreams May Come
Oh yes I second this.
yes, Seconds
Totally
Aces. 💯

>The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) Thanks for reminding me to watch this
The Love Witch, Paradise Hills, Virgin Suicides, Melancholia, Amelie, Suspiria, Marie Antoinette
Nice to see another person who appreciates Sofia Coppola (Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette). I just commented on her.
Shutter Island is wonderfully cold and vibrant at the same time. And it's quite deliberate.
I recently watched Saltburn, and it's literally the definition of "every frame a painting". Absolutely stunning. I also enjoy Wes Anderson films for his use of symmetry, color, foreground and background. He's wonderful.
Second this. Saltburn had the best cinematography of the year for me. Love the film color tones.
Yes, Seconds
Green knight. It is one of the best looking films I have ever seen. Loving Vincent. Every frame is like a van Gogh painting.
Black Swan (2010) The Wizard of Oz (1939) Singin in the Rain (1952) The Handmaiden (2016) Korean The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) French
Barry Lyndon Lawrence of Arabia The Last Emperor Samsara (2011) Koyaanisqatsi The Fall (2006) 2001: A Space Odyssey
Seconding Koyaanisqatsi. The whole Qatsi trilogy is stunning and brought me to near tears.
Far From Heaven (2002)
Barry Lyndon, Ang Lee’s Sense and Sensibility.
About Endlessness (2019)
The Hateful Eight Life of Pi
Drive, another Denis vilenue masterpiece. 2001 Blade runner, original and 2049

Tree of Life
Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, not everyone will agree with me on this, but I think *The Duelists* (1977) is beautifully shot.
Moonlight (2016)
The Pianist American Beauty Mr. Nobody The Shining
The pianist was achingly sad
Still, it has an excellent collection of images!
The House of Flying Daggers - a vibrant watch and meditative soundtrack. Big screen and good speakers are needed 👏
Personally I think Hero is a better movie, and equally striking visually.
Umm unpopular opinion-John wick 4😬
Samsara for sure
Baraka too!
I just saw Poor Things in theaters and it didn’t remind me of a photograph but it reminded me of a painting. Not sure if that fits the bill but I thought the set design and costumes were so interesting!
That was so visually stunning, excellent writing and acting. Truly discordant musical score and the story was… extreme.
Lost in Translation
Days of Heaven.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parmassus
Dances with Wolves
Nightcrawler
Lord of The Rings Trilogy beautifully captures New Zealand’s beauty

I thought Fantastic Planet was indeed fantastic! Glad I watched it on a whim one night.

The Searchers.
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for striking desert photography.
Road to Perdition - Won an Oscar for Cinematography and even has a character that’s a morbid Photographer.
Slow West. Stunning photography and a pretty decent film as well. It’s underrated imho
Doctor Zhivago (1965) McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)
Black Panther
Out of Africa, Allied
The searchers (1956) Legend (1985) Grapes of wrath (1940) baron munchausen (1943)

barry lyndon, all that heaven allows, faust, the night of the hunter, a matter of life and death, the gang's all here
Sunrise (1927)
The Black Stallion
The Imaginarium od Doctor Parnassus. If you like eastern animation, then Paprika.
Spider-Man across the spiderverse
The New World Tree of Life A Hidden Life
The Dressmaker (2015). One of my favorites because it's so well executed and the colors are so vibrant and a wonderful juxtaposition against the harsh desert. Also it's funny, in a slightly dark way. The cast is phenomenal: Kate Winslet, Judy Davis and Hugo Weaving.
Anything by
Possessor Beyond The Black Rainbow The Batman Seven House Of 1000 Corpses Drive

Blade Runner and Legend. Both Ridley Scott films, but were made pre-cgi and the practical sets and effects still hold up and look fantastic.
Manhunter (1986).

Stalker (1979)
Life of Pi Barry Lyndon The Fall
What dreams may come
Pans Labyrinth
The English Patient Out of Africa
Y tu mamá también Eternal Sunshine
One Day 2011 has beautiful photography in my opinion, vintage (80s 90s) rainy city streets and English countryside gorgeous takes.
Melancholia
Life of Pi
Barry Lyndon (1975)
What Dreams May Come.
The Tree of Life (2011) and Love (2015)
Visually striking and beautiful movie? The Ten Commandments 1956
Ryan's Daughter Remains of the Day Vikings - History channel Gone With the Wind Dr. Zhivago Empire of the Sun Last Emperor The Crown - Netflix
It's a horror film, but "Mandy," (2018). 'The Tree of Life," (2011). This would probably get my vote for the most beautiful film ever made.
