Title: Movies that are so beautiful they don't need a story

Just visuals, not even awesome characters, just beautiful looking scenes and beautiful character design.

The Fall is a movie I'm trying to get a hold of on Bluray<3 Why must it cost $22?

Is The Orphanage actually a good movie? The name strikes me as something like The Ring, The Grudge, The Omen, The Shitty Horror Movie. (I actually loved The Ring.)

I saw Wall-E and loved the visuals. It was a masterpiece in cinematography.

But the story was lame and boring. I'm sure videophiles loved the movie, but I didn't.

No, they're series. Spirited Away is a movie. The Millennium Actress is a movie. They're also anime, but they're not television series, direct-to-dvd OVAs, etc. They're actual movies. Elfen Lied and Cowboy Bebop are not.

They are very good, though, but neither are "so beautiful they don't need a story." Really, neither of them are among the best of the best when it comes to beautiful artwork...Elfen Leid's in particular isn't really even all that great, just typical and good enough. Cowboy Bebop's is great, but it's a bit dated now...but it fits the style and storyline.

I completely disagree, the space sequences are horrid. They have no actual space qualities.
