movies/tv Most Gorgeous film you've seen?

[OkBuddy 586]

What do you believe to be the kind of films that kept your eyes or maybe ears engaged the most just by the beauty of it? 

It can be any kind of movie, from live action to animated. 

 

My personal favorite is Blade Runner, as it is an absolute gorgeous piece of art with amazing lighting and scenery, to fantastic music. The setting of an over-lit, retro futuristic dystopia of Los Angeles makes for some breathtaking scenes. 

The film has both the cleaner, luxurious upper world.. 

...and the overcrowded and grittier ground floors of the city.

May not be a film you can see in cinema but nonetheless, I'd say this short is very powerful and well executed. Especially since it was made with BF4

Avatar. The first time I saw this movie was at the cinema and the details looked so gorgeous at the screen, it was almost like if I was right there

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,164]

The Lord of the Rings

 

Nothing has even come close to the beautiful spectacle of scenery, ruins, architecture, and creatures that LoTR was for me.

[SCS 7,537]

Animated: EQG 1 and 2, Frozen, Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, and many others.

 

 

Life Action: Melancholia, Cloud Atlas, The Fountain, A Winter's Tale, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Pan's Labyrinth, and more.

Pacific Rim was pretty good with all the bright lights to contrast the giant robots beating the shit out of giant kaiju. 

 

Guardians of the Galaxy was also nice to look at. 

[Denim&Venöm 20,431]

Animated wise, I loved the EQG films as well as Frozen, Titan A.E., Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Batman; Mask Of The Phantasm Balto, The Fox and the Hound, that Beauty and the Beast Christmas special and Inuyasha 3: Swords of an Honorable ruler. 

 

Live action wise, I'm not really attracted to anything glitzy, glamorous, or shiny, as there's an overabundance of that in every film since LOTR. I take to films with a dark aesthetic. Gritty, gothic, stylized environments without the production being too slick. Films like Spawn, Tim Burton's Batman and especially The Crow.

 

I even like films that are simple. No sets, no CGI. Just filming it all in a place. Homeward bound, Fluke, and The Goonies, films that take advantage of a natural setting. 

[Frozen The Unicorn 484]

powerful and well executed

 

Oh. My Gosh, This is amazing, Shame it doesnt run like it in real life

[Unikitty 1,212]

Wolf Children, hands down.

No movie has really captured me as much as this one - and I really love movies. It's just so good, I'd watch it a million times over.

 

[cmarston1 5,964]

How To Train Your Dragon 2 hands down.  Seriously it is one of the best animated films that I have ever seen in my life.

It's gorgeous not only in it's absolutely masterly crafted animation but as well as the heart and soul and emotional connection that the story of the film is able to produce.

It is definitely one of Dreamworks' best films.

Alien Abduction from 2014.

Oz The Great and Powerful. I'm a huge fan of the Wizard Of Oz, so this film really caught my attention when it came out. I loved how it was executed, but the only thing I kinda didn't like was the chemistry between Oz and Glinda...possible, maybe, but whatever floats the boat I guess! haha

[Sommar 1,289]

Lord of the Rings, hands down, is the most visually appealing trilogy of movies. The creatures, costumes, everything is stunning! I highly recommend the movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

While Blade Runner is a beautiful film, I'm going to go with another Ridley Scott film: Alien.

 

Alien's cinematography is impeccable and truly a work of art. Every set is masterfully crafted and the effects used in the movie are wonderfully integrated into each scene.

 

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

The most gorgeous ones I've seen are some 2d Disney films like Lion King, and Atlantis. And some Studio Ghibli films like, Castle in the Sky and Totoro. 

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

Animated: The Lion King, Aladdin, The LEGO Movie, Toy Story, Wallace and Gromit, Spirited Away

 

Live-Action: Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Blade Runner, Avatar, Batman

October Baby.

 

I cried so hard, and I usually don't cry when it comes to movies. It was a great movie, so emotional. And the soundtrack is glorious.

[VitalSpark 1,830]

I think Frozen and Tangled are two of the most visually glorious films I've ever seen.

 

The ice and snow in Frozen are amazingly well-rendered. You know Disney had been planning to make a film based on the Snow Queen since 1940. Yes, 19-frickin'-40! The improvements in digitally animating ice and snow that Disney had made in recent years was one of the major things that made it possible for them to finally do it. The two scenes that I think are the most stunning are the Let It Go sequence as well as the blizzard at the climax of the film.

 

Tangled uses a pretty similar animation style. The most breathtaking scene in that film is the bit with the boat and the lanterns. The dam-bursting sequence is pretty spectacular too though.

 

There are some pretty nicely animated scenes in the new Tinker Bell film, The Legend of the Neverbeast, including a scene that reminded me of the Tangled lantern scene.

 

Just a little shout-out for Rainbow Rocks too. Although the animation style is a lot more simplistic than the above two, the final battle during Welcome to the Show is gorgeously done. It's beautiful, and so perfectly complements the soundtrack for that portion of the film. OK, so it's never going to match up with the stuff Disney puts out, but they had a fraction of the budget to play with.
