What movies do you find visually striking?
Pacific Rim and Sleepy Hollow come to my mind.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
relatively satisfying as these things go.
I was dissappointed by The Kitchen. It felt very over-worked - weird cuts all over the place, TERRIBLE sound editing, bizarre jumps in the plot that felt like they just forgot to tell some parts? Also, and this might be spoilery, I wanted everything to be harder. The three leads talked CONSTANTLY about their struggles and how difficult it was to be a woman in this environment, but in general, it looked like they mostly got everything they wanted just by asking for it? The money-counting montage happens like fifteen minutes in! They keep almost having consequences but then it winds up working out! It was shot like a gritty dark gangster movie but written with sitcom-level stakes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Visually striking films:
- Amélie
- What Dreams May Come
- Alien
- Legend
- The Cell
- 300 (despite my loathing of Zack Snyder, I must admit he has a great eye for visuals)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm loving reading all of these!
