Some of my personal favourite "beautiful" films

Monsters

Six years after Earth has suffered an alien invasion a cynical journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through an infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

Made entirely by a crew of less than 5 people this film has a beautiful pace and some breathtaking shots. Jon Hopkins does a spectacular soundtrack for it too.

The Machinist

An industrial worker who hasn't slept in a year begins to doubt his own sanity.

You'll feel a bit insane after watching this.

28 Days Later

Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.

This is the film that sparked my interest in cinema as a teenager.

Europa Report

An international crew of astronauts undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon.

Spaaaaaaaaaaaace

Bad Boy Bubby

Bubby has spent thirty years trapped in the same small room, tricked by his mother. One day, he manages to escape, and, deranged and naive in equal measures, his adventure into modern life begins.

this is a fucking strange one but I really enjoyed it. I incest you watch it..

Frank

Jon, a young wanna-be musician, discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank.

This ones been getting a lot of attention on Imgur recently and rightly so. It's a new watch for me (thanks to all the lists) and it left me with a mixture of emotions.

The Prestige

Two stage magicians engage in competitive one-upmanship in an attempt to create the ultimate stage illusion.

THAT FUCKING TWIST! plus, booooowie as Tesla.

Sunshine

A team of international astronauts is sent on a dangerous mission to reignite the dying Sun with a nuclear fussion bomb in 2057.

The audio for the distress beacon still rings in my head sometimes. Such a eerie film.

How I Live Now

An American girl, sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives, finds love and purpose while fighting for her survival as war envelops the world around her.

Jon Hopkins soundtrack again. Some stunning shots.

There Will be Blood

A story of family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, focusing on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.

The Mist

A freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.

Obviously these just my personal preferences so they may not be to everyones taste. If you enjoy at least one of these i'll consider it a good job :)

Thanks.

FP edit: Thanks for all the recommendations! I'll get on with watching all of those and maybe they'll make it on to a second list :)
