The book is equally as beautiful.
Can't believe this wasn't mentioned already:
All of Joe Wright's films actually.

Too many genuinely good movies in this thread. OP is gonna want to rinse his palette with a bit of shlock.
Gloriously insane and imaginative stuff. It's like the studio asked Dan Aykroyd to write a movie in the vein of Ghostbusters, but he wrote the script during an LSD trip while Texas Chainsaw Massacre was playing on his TV. He also apparently did not receive the memo that the 80's were over, and I am grateful for it.

All the President's Men
Excellent movie with, I always felt, very natural acting and one of my top 5 favorites.
The Paper
Hilarious movie filled with likeable assholes and also on my top 5 list.
Metropolis
The only silent film that I have watched from beginning to end and a sci-fi classic.
Superman-yes-Superman
This is my favorite movie of all time. While yes it has some seventies camp sprinkled in, I feel that it has the greatest adapted work casting of all time with Christopher Reeve as Superman, who exuded a natural likeable charm that I think very few actors have had. Plus it helps that he could actually act as shown when he would effortlessly change from the timid and clutzy Kent to the kind yet strong Superman. And now I realize that I am rambling, so I should probably stop now.

Ironclad (2011) it's more Braveheart than LotR but it's very medieval and the battle scenes are even more brutal than Braveheart

Christiane F. Harrowing true story movie about heroin addiction, set in decrepit 1970s Berlin with a David Bowie soundtrack. Phenomenally acted (if you can see it in its original German language with a decent sub downloaded from the internet; the US release only had an English language dub which was abysmal) and extremely thought-provoking, it broke a lot of the stereotypes people had about opiate abuse and who it impacts. The woman the movie is about is still alive today and still fighting addiction.
