There are films that are so aesthetically perfect that they make it impossible for you to unglue your eyes from the screen. This can mostly be attributed to beautifully-shot scenes rather than excellent graphics and visual effects.

Bright Side has provided a list of movies that have stunning visual style and keep their audiences captivated throughout the film.

Crimson Peak

The house, which towers over the city, has acquired a bad reputation. When winter comes, it is covered with blood-red snow. The residents say that it’s just the clay that’s tainting the color of the snow. But no one, except her, dares to climb the snowy peak. Without a doubt, this movie creates a unique atmosphere and is very interesting to watch.

Spectre

The first scene alone will be enough to keep your eyes wide open. It’s a well-directed, technically impressive film. “Spectre” combines the best features of modern action movies, including brilliant chase scenes, and man-to-man fights.

Stoker

The film is very unusual, and it is a must-see for those who love a good mysteries. There are plenty of beautiful shots, symbolism, and overall brilliant camera work. The film may seem quite monotonous, but with the slow exacerbation of the atmosphere will cause you to be fully absorbed throughout the film.

Laurence’s desire to change sex has been following him his whole life, but will she accept that? The film finds its greatness in its colorful juicy visuals. The director, Xavier Dolan, is considered a master of colors and illustrations. He is a great artist whose unique style is seen in every masterpiece he creates.

The Great Beauty

The charm of "The Great Beauty" lies in alteration of aesthetic episodes with scandalously and vulgar scenes of loud parties and high society’s freaks. The film is an ode to the void under which this beauty is hidden.

Only Lovers Left Alive

This is the story of two vampires, Adam and Eve, who remember the Tartars and the Inquisitions. Lovely unusual music contributes greatly to the atmosphere of the film. Having plunged into the cozy world, it’s hard to return to reality. You just want to enjoy this world’s peace and silence a little longer.

The Tree of Life

Despite its deep philosophical topics, conversations about God, meditative scenes, and the almost complete lack of action, "Tree of Life" is by no means a boring film. You should watch this film when you’re questioning life: who am I, and what is my place in the Universe?

Gravity

Dr. Ryan Stone is going to complete her first space mission. While Stone and her colleague are outside the ship working on it, a disaster happens. The shuttle is destroyed, and Dr. Ryan and Lieutenant Kowalsky remain completely alone in open space. The camera work is what makes the film truly amazing. The camera absorbs the audience into the helmets and switches to first person view to make each person in the audience feel like they’re actually there.

The Fountain

This movie is endlessly sensual, visually beautiful, and emotionally relaxed. "The Fountain" possesses both deep meaning and intellectual merit. The film makes you understand how it is important to appreciate your loved ones and spend more time with them while they are still with you.

Honest, powerful, and extraordinary, the film is worth watching.
