visually astonishing movies...

I watch Into The Blue every now and then with the volume off just to see Alba. True story.

I just want to say that Ziyi Zhang is visually astonishing.

Loved in Memoirs of a geisha. The dop did a great job in that film.

 

[SocialNumb]

I love her in anything.

 

[JeffTD]

Sunshine, although it's a rather shite movie.

Clip from the end of Blueberry/Renegade:

 

[Josh Burgess]

you i'm being sarcastic right?

anyway, into the blue looks interasting.
but it's kind of hard to take jessica alba seriously after that transformers bullshit (yeah i know she's hot that's not the point here)

in addition i'd like to add the movie "Nine" which is CGI but is pretty mature and has some unique charecter.

Watch Sin City instead if you want to see some Jessica Alba eye candy yet still watch an actually good movie at the same time.

It's getting to be an "old" movie now but, "What Dreams May Come" is astonishingly well created. I seriously have to watch this movie again now, it's been about 10 years...

+1 on Hero, amazing movie. Also, by the same director I would suggest "House of the flying daggers" which I think is even better and also has a great soundtrack

Fuck yes +1

Rare Exports, maybe on of the only Finnish movies with nice visuals, except some of the CGI closer to the end of the movie are SUPER cheesy.

When was Jessica Alba in Transformers?

FU Jeff!

I love that damn movie!

 

[Nuno Filipe]

I reminded one more: Dark City

 

[sadistik necrofiend]

Nosferatu the Vampyre and Aguire The Wrath of God by Werner Herzog are both amazing. The Fountain (already mentioned I know), Moon, and Black Swan too of course. Got to give Arnovsky some credit for sure.

The Cell

It's about going inside the mind of a serial killer who's in a coma. Looks like a bad acid trip in movie form

It was actually one of our final assignments to replace the surround audio track on a clip of The Cell. It included the horse scene you linked. Having never seen the movie, I thought me and my partner were pretty much fucked. It actually turned out really well, it's a shame I didn't grab myself a copy :/

Like others here, Hero is one of my favorites. Anything by Terrence Malick is good as well.

Your teacher had cool taste. If you've got that somewhere I be keen to see it/hear it

Koyaanisqatsi

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085809/

Probably the most amazing visual film ever made. Seriously, it's ALL visuals. Worth digging up, it's incredible.

Not "movies," but check out anything by the Brothers Quay on Youtube. You can totally see where Tool got inspiration for their videos:

 

[SimonSez]

Terminator 2

 

[blacK.eXe]

May be too special for some of you guys because it is a movie about freeride/downhill biking, but LIFE CYCLES is the most visually impressive movie I have ever seen. Everybody who is interested in nature/documentaries/cinematography and/or sports should really really watch it! (btw 1080p adds about 200% more awesomness )
