The Fall

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

The Fall is exquisitely beautiful.

The Enchanted April.

While I'm not a fan overall of Citizen Kane, it is beautiful.

Love Suspiria, the lighting was crazy
Se7en did have fantastic atmosphere, similar to Blade Runner

Good list

I liked The Shining very much for the opening aerial shots and vast yet claustrophobic interior shots

The Wizard Of Oz is still awe inspiring nearly 80 years later

I'm sure we can think of many more

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Some runner-ups that almost made my list include Russian Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Watchmen, The Godfather: Part II, and The NeverEnding Story.

The score that accompanied the opening of The Shining really sears that scene into your head forever. It’s perfect.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78491) 5 years ago

Yes!

Nice list.

I would add these two to your Visually Beautiful list ...

The Last Samurai (2003)

And to the Emotionally Beautiful list, I would add ...

Good call there, separating movies that are visually beautiful from movies that are emotionally beautiful.

Here's my list of emotionally beautiful movies:

Robin and Marian (1976)
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Rocky (1976)
Peter Pan (2003)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Malena (2000)
2046 (2004)
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
