It's very difficult to me to precise which is my favourite movie. I can only guess that is the one I am going to watch next time. Anyway, one of the most beautiful movies I've ever saw was "Dead Man", directed by Jim Jarmusch, and stared by Johnny Depp. It has a western aesthetic, and a wonderful BSO played by Neil Young who really makes its guitar talk and tell us a story. Dead Man is the story of a shy man named "William Blake" (just like the poet) that in a certain moment of his life loses most of what gives sense to his life and finds a job in the other side of the country (from Cleveland to the town of MACHINE), but, when he arrives there, the position has already been occupied. He has nowhere to go, and begins a journey to become a real man, a dead man. He gets involved in a shooting, and the daughter of the boss of the industry of machine gets killed along with her previous fiancée. He is blamed of it, and has to run away, hurt. While running away he meets "Nobody" an Indian that teaches him his path: to make poetry with his gun.
PD: the most beautiful thing in this movie is the end, that actually, is told by the machine operator in the train, at the beginning of the movie. "Look out the window. And doesn't this remind you of when you were in the boat, and then later than night, you were lying, looking up at the ceiling, and the water in your head was not dissimilar from the landscape, and you think to yourself, "Why is it that the landscape is moving, but the boat is still?"
