Other 'visually beautiful' films?

Antonioni: pretty much anything but these in particular
Red Desert
Zabriskie Point (the last ten minutes)
Eclipse
The passenger
The adventure

Herzog:
Fitzcarraldo
Grizzly Man (even if the footage wasn't shot by him)

Kubrick:
Eyes Wide Shut
Barry Lyndon

Terrence Mallick:
Thin Red Line
Days Of heaven

Fellini: pretty much anything
8 1/2

Lynch:
Eraserhead
Lost Highway
Inland Empire

Kurosawa:
Dreams (see it now, run to the video store.)

That's enough for now i think.

Roy Andersson : Songs from the Second Floor, Du Levande!!! [crazy swedish!! so beautiful]

Kubrick : Barry Lyndon [my favorite film ever.. and favorite photography]

I'd say that Ingmar Bergman's Persona contains same kind of realistic visual beauty as Offret by Tarkovsky. The main events of the story happen on a similar area as in this one. Beautiful landscapes and camera shots.

All of Herzog's work is visually arrresting but Hearts of Glass (1976) stands out as a personal favorite.

Likewise, most of the later Kurosawa canon with "Dreams" being uniquely memorable.

Any of the Hayao Miyazaki animated films.

Any of the Roger Deakins shot films from the Coen Brothers.

Russell Boyd has done some interesting work with Peter Weir: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Last Wave (1977), Gallipoli (1981), The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), Burke & Wills (1985), Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003).

Other fave's as far as stand out cinematography:

Seven Beauties (1975) Wertmüller
Housekeeping (1987) Bill Forsyth
Shadows and Fog (1991) W. Allen
Cabaza de Vaca (1993) Nicholas Echevarria
Magic Hunter (1994) Ildikó Enyedi
Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997) Guy Maddin
Amelie (2001) Jeunet
City of God (2002) Meirelles
The Big Empty (2003) Steve Anderson

These are a few things that came to mind; a couple I confess are guilty pleasures. I know I'm overlooking some essntial viewing. I've been watching some great films from Japan and South Korea as of late that should have made it to the list.
