A little while back, we took a look at a viral Reddit thread asking, “What is the most aesthetically pleasing movie you’ve ever seen?” Well, all of those incredible answers inspired even more wonderful responses from our very own BuzzFeed Community!
So, with that in mind, here are even more movies that are so beautiful to look at, your eyeballs will thank you later:
1. Suspiria (1977)
Miramax / ©Miramax/Courtesy Everett Collection“Dark, atmospheric, just enough flashes of light here and there to really throw you off. *Chef’s kiss* That reveal shot of Eric as the Crow, standing menacingly in his broken circular window? By itself, that should earn it a spot on the list.”

Neal Preston / ©Warner Bros / courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection“It had amazing people doing the camerawork, who had a ton of knowledge about how to make the characters feel real. It’s full of what feels like real human interaction and it’s amazing. It feels like you enter a new world for a couple hours.”

Columbia Pictures / ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection“It’s Martin Scorsese’s most underrated film. Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer are forbidden lovers. It’s set in 1870’s New York. It’s such a beautiful, sparkly, mesmerizing movie. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

Warner Bros / ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection“I’ve loved and appreciated it since childhood. The juxtaposition of the dark, forbidding manor house with the wild garden bursting with life and color, and character growth from influence of the one towards the influence of the other. I am a 34-year-old man and it still impacts me when I watch it every spring.”

Universal / ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection“Most Stephen Soderbergh movies are so incredibly lit. The scene where Clooney and Jennifer Lopez meet for a drink in a hotel, and it’s cut with them having sex upstairs, it’s just so beautiful to me. The lighting is the perfect color temperature, and the images are softened just a little to make it sexy as hell without really seeing any of the sex.”

Claire Folger / © Lionsgate / courtesy Everett Collection“Every frame is either lush with texture and tone, or stark and bold. This movie is meant to enjoyed over and over again, not only for the story, but also because it’s so visually vibrant.”

Watch the aesthetically pleasing trailer here:
Paramount Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection“It’s a movie that hardly anybody has heard of (probably because it was released in the ’70s). I swear you could freeze-frame any part of the movie and hang it on your wall as art. Gorgeously filmed. It was Ridley Scott’s first full-length feature, and presages his mastery of his craft. Check it out.”
