    Lawrence of Arabia. The cinematography and score work together to make you feel like the sun is bearing down on you. It isn’t particularly colorful, but it is a true spectacle.

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gorgeous animation and endlessly creative.

    I love the design of Interstellar. It’s less surreal than other movies but still beautiful. Alien is similarly gorgeous but in a far more haunting way.

    Poor Things is extremely surreal and gets progressively ungrounded throughout the movie.

    Tron: Legacy to this day remains one of my favorite movies to watch in spite of its dumb story thanks to its awe-some audio and visual design.

    Transformers: Age of Extinction stands out in my mind with some of the coolest and weightiest CGI of any movie I’ve seen.

    Then there’s live-action steeped in cartoon inspiration which Speed Racer and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World both nailed.

      Found your comment by searching dune 2 in this community.

      Dune 1 and 2 were just OK for me. I don’t have many negative things to say re the 2 flicks. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

      I <3 the audio for the Voice.

      I appreciate Villeneuve. Aside from Dune 1 and 2, I viewed Sicario, Arrival and Blade runner 2049. None of those is a masterpiece for me, but Blade runner 2049 is his best.

    Roger Deakins’ filmography basically. Special mention of his work with Denis Villenueve: Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners, and Sicario. Most recently, Greg Frasier for Dune Part Two. Absolutely gorgeous cinematography.

    I think it depends on what you mean by stunning. I personally prefer

    • The Martian
    • Interstellar
    • The original LOTR trilogy in 4K HDR, though the fellowship sure has the most beautiful scenes.

      IMO, Fellowship has more natural landscapes while the other two have a lot more miniatures and CGI.

    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is not very good, as movie, but I keep rewatching it because it’s just so pretty. The music is pretty on point too.

    First ones that came to mind was 300(say what you will). Another that comes to mind though probably not as stunning as I remember is Sin City. And there’s a third on the tip of my tongue that if I remember, I’ll edit it in later.
