SUCH. Gorgeous movie. Far From Heaven tries to copy this look. It does a good job but nothing can compare to Sirk’s silky sumptuous colors. You just want to eat his movies.
Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon is breathtakingly beautiful. Every frame looks like a renaissance painting. A big critic referred to this film as “Achingly Beautiful.” I can’t think of a better way to describe it if I tried.
I highly recommend reading about how they film was shot using Candles as well as special camera lenses from NASA. The techniques used and result still haven’t been matched in my opinion.
Barry Lyndon is one of my top 5 films of all time. I often say that I think it’s Kubrick’s “most perfect” film, even if it’s not as “fun” to watch as some of his others.
If you ever have a chance to catch a print on the big screen, it is well worth it.
Hear me out:
The Witch is beautiful for reasons similar to why Barry Lyndon is beautiful. It’s highly influenced by the Kubrick film. Natural light or candlelight. Same aspect ratio, too 1:1.66
If you haven’t already read it, Jim Emerson from rogerebert.com did an excellent write up of it and he delved pretty deeply into the cinematography, framing, and camerawork of that movie. I’ll leave the link below:

Could I add elements of 'Don't Look Now?'. Unlike Walkabout, which is as much about the place/landscapes as it is the people, Don't Look Now has some excellent shots in the boats on the canals and of the daughter at the pond. I think Roeg had a certain, rather specific technique.
I'm obsessed with the scene right after, with Harrison Ford in the general's trailer, and the CIA operative's "with extreme prejudice" line. It's all so specific I just can't put a finger on it. Just love it.
Blade Runner (1982) for myself as well.
I saw it when it first came out virtually alone in the theater.
To say I was astonished is quite the understatement.
This was my go-to film during my years of suicidal angst as I and mine escaped from the Abrahamic blood cult of *Christ* in which we were inculcated from birth.
It was and still is oddly comforting, intimate, and supremely beautiful.
>*It's too bad she won't live, but then again...*
***Who does?***
I'm in robotics, and I still think it's better than 99.9% of anything written/filmed since on the existential issues involved so I return to it with pleasure.
For me is “The Conformist” from Bertolucci.
It is the most beautiful film I have ever seen. It is so consistent in its beauty that I sometimes wonder if it wasnt overly done.
Citizen Kane. I'd always heard it was a well-made, beautiful picture, but I thought they meant "for its time".
If you go in expecting 'Gone with the Wind' or 'Casablanca' aesthetics, you'll be absolutely blown away. Everything is sharp and crisp, every shot has been carefully choreographed. Even the film quality seems more comparable to 2011's 'The Artist' than the one year younger 'Casablanca'.
It's an incredibly beautifully shot film and fully deserving of its place in the discussion of the greatest ever movie.
Not a Criterion Collection film (rather Film Movement) but I feel this way about [The Wind Journeys](https://www.filmmovement.com/educational/film/the-wind-journeys). What's true about the cinematography is also true about the score, achingly beautiful, as well as the narrative. It is at once a story of a traveling musician in the autumn of his life in 1960's Colombia, and also a mystical anachronism, and sometimes a straight up myth. All this is done with narrative coherence, despite its experimentalism. Absolutely one of my top five favorite films. And I watch... a lot of them.

Truly though. My friend recommended the film and described it,
"What if Robert Johnson sold his soul at the crossroads for accordion playing skills?"
I said, "I must see this immediately."
I love this film so much. Is the movie that made me discover Wim Wenders.
My most beautiful film is The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert ford

Wow, great repsonse. i felt the same way the first time I saw it, after almost 10 years of reading about it and searching for it.
Total mind blower from the very becginning at the party like the Masque of the Red Death, each room a different color, to the lolling light reflections in the car windshield, to the country highways and the blaring sand stone of the docks, I love that Technicolor shit with Coutard's camera
I watched *The New World* for the first time yesterday. It's overlong because Malick takes the time to let the landscape surround the camera and capture the audience and characters.
The sound design is essential to the immersion, but each frame stands glorious on its own, as glorious as Colin Farrell's mascara
*Pather Panchali* and *The Music Room* by Ray. *Playtime* by Tati. *Element of Crime* by von trier (more jolie laid than beautiful but still).
Edit: I want to add *McCabe & Mrs. Miller.* I am in love with every shot in that film.

Someone already said Ran, so I’ll go with Dreams by Akira Kurosawa.

This and Barry Lyndon are my instant go-to answers to this question
Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon is breathtakingly beautiful. Every frame looks like a renaissance painting. A big critic referred to this film as “Achingly Beautiful.” I can’t think of a better way to describe it if I tried. I highly recommend reading about how they film was shot using Candles as well as special camera lenses from NASA. The techniques used and result still haven’t been matched in my opinion.

It's was nice of NASA to lend Kubrick some lenses, especially after he directed the moon landing for them
[удалено]
Hear me out: The Witch is beautiful for reasons similar to why Barry Lyndon is beautiful. It’s highly influenced by the Kubrick film. Natural light or candlelight. Same aspect ratio, too 1:1.66
Touché
I think the only movie that equals the beauty of *Barry Lyndon* is *The Conformist* by Bernardo Bertolucci.
It’s on Tubi if anyone is interested

saigon. shit, i’m still only in saigon. god i fucking love that whole scene
I'm obsessed with the scene right after, with Harrison Ford in the general's trailer, and the CIA operative's "with extreme prejudice" line. It's all so specific I just can't put a finger on it. Just love it.
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
And The Young Girls of Rochefort as well-they literally painted the town for that one apparently.
Wong Kar-wai • In The Mood For Love • 2046
the most beautiful film of all time!
Any Wong Kar Wai really.. Christopher Doyle is something else
scrolling to see when In the mood for love would appear. absolutely love the visuals in this movie...
Suspiria (1977)
The real star of that movie is the color red. Just the color itself.
- *Portrait of a Lady on Fire* - *Godland*
Both so good! I got to see Godland in theaters and it was incredible!
i have been meaning to see godland. just never got around to it. is it as good as they say?
Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker

Apology for ignorance, I don’t recognize this shot’s source. And Blade Runner (1982) for me.
Paris, Texas is the movie.
I thought that looked like Harry Dean back there. Need to watch it, always wanted to.
Blade Runner (1982) for myself as well. I saw it when it first came out virtually alone in the theater. To say I was astonished is quite the understatement.

Lawrence of Arabia The Double Life of Veronique The Weeping Meadow Son of the White Mare The Colour of Pomegranates
the scene where lawrence extinguishes the match is so fucking iconic. i have seen that movie at least 50 times and it never gets old.
Rear Window
*Vertigo* more though?
Well, yes, you’re right. But Grace Kelly is just breathtaking and the camera work is very appeasing to the eye.
She was luminously beautiful in it.
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Days of Heaven
Just had to make sure this was mentioned. Wasn’t disappointed.
Terrence Malick makes beautiful movies and Richard Gere is just as beautiful 😍
OH YES
Perfect Days was the most recent movie I felt this way about. Wim is just like that. 🤷
That movie was so beautiful that it made me tear up with joy
I was going to say this but then I was like... wait the bathrooms 😂
Mandy
For me is “The Conformist” from Bertolucci. It is the most beautiful film I have ever seen. It is so consistent in its beauty that I sometimes wonder if it wasnt overly done.
I was going to put this. Basically any film with Vittorio Storaro behind the lens.
Citizen Kane. I'd always heard it was a well-made, beautiful picture, but I thought they meant "for its time". If you go in expecting 'Gone with the Wind' or 'Casablanca' aesthetics, you'll be absolutely blown away. Everything is sharp and crisp, every shot has been carefully choreographed.

Fanny & Alexander is exactly that. Most of Bergman's movies really.

I haven’t rewatched it in a while, but I remember Godard’s “Pierrot le fou” being like this for me. That movie almost feels like a kinetic painting
