A History of Violence was pretty underrated. Barry Lyndon bored the hell out of me, but the lighting was very impressive from a technical perspective (they actually used candles and a super low aperture lens for some scenes).
Not the most fast paced movie that ever was, I will agree on that. Still, I first watched it as a teen (already into history) and was in awe. This was first time I could walk into painting of those long gone times ;)
In a similar way, Peter Greenaway, the English director did a few great movies too: The Draughtsman’s Contract, ‘The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover’, Prospero’s Books,…

Watch ‘The 3 Musketeers’ with Oliver Reed.
Fun movie, and it looks like a painting.
