Nice, slow, entrancing films

Sometimes, if I'm in the right mood, I like to watch slow-moving, visually mesmerising films - a bit like the visual equivalent of a Sigur Ros album.

Examples:

Lost in Translation
Marie Antoinette

(Sofia Coppola)
I do like The Virgin Suicides but it's too depressing for this list

The New World
The Thin Red Line

(Terence Malick)

Heaven (Tom Tykwer)

2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick)

You know, that sort of thing.

Totally with you on LiT, MA and TNW. Love the relaxed yet engaged trance state they put you in.

How about The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford?

And Gabbeh probably trumps them all...

Have yet to see either, but I'm planning to.

Friend of mine was an extra in The Thin Red Line. Assassination of Jesse James... is a definite for this list.
