Any of Terence Malick's films. They're all staggeringly gorgeous to look at, most especially THE THIN RED LINE and the terribly underrated THE NEW WORLD.

Kubrick's BARRY LYNDON. Love it or loathe it, it is one of the loveliest looking films ever made.

Lynch's ERASERHEAD, some of the most beautiful black and white you'll ever see.

Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD, most of Burton's output actually.

Fellini's 8 1/2, more of the loveliest black and white you'll ever see.

SHANGHAI EXPRESS, probably the most gorgeous black and white ever.

Technicolor beauties: THE RED SHOES, THE WIZARD OF OZ, FANTASIA, PINOCCHIO, TO CATCH A THIEF, THE GANG'S ALL HERE

Dreadful but pretty: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, JEAN DE FLORETTE, LEGENDS OF THE FALL, DUEL IN THE SUN

I'm sure I'll think of others the minute I press that Post Message button...

Beauty is most certainly in the eye of the beholder. Some of the films listed here would make my ugliest-looking films list!

John, which would you say are ugly? Come on, don't be shy.

Another nod for BARRY LYNDON. I don't think young viewers can really appreciate how ground-breaking the look of that movie was. Just about every period film from AMADEUS to DANGEROUS LIASONS cribbed from it.


Woody Allen's SHADOWS AND FOG. All of Allen's movies look great, but this underrated one is the most visually interesting.

THE LEOPARD

Black Narcissus.

Agreed about SHADOWS AND FOG. I think it is one of Allen's very worst movies, but it is really something to look at.

I'll add APOCALYPSE NOW to the mix, either in the original or the REDUX versions.

Kurosawa's RAN is pretty damn amazing, too, good call.

I'd mentioned Malick's films in a general way, but I'll get specific about DAYS OF HEAVEN. Just amazingly beautiful film.

Oh! How could I forget THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG?

Once Upon a Time in America

I have to second The Greatest Story Ever Told. It's always the first to come to mind when I think of visually beautiful films. Zhivago is the second.

The Black Stallion

I can't believe I forgot FANNY AND ALEXANDER.

DOH!
