I'm going for quite the arc, but here goes . . .

Ran, Akira Kurosawa - the first movie I saw on our first home projector, back in the early 90s. The second movie? Jurassic Park. Of course.

Hero, Yi-Mou Zhang - much more recent (2002). Quentin Tarantino associated, though not directed by him.

Love him or hate him, but I think anything by Quentin Tarantino is visually spectacular. Nobody choreographs blood they way he does. (Yes, I'm sure he has a team to acknowledge here).

Blade Runner, old and new(ish)

And if you're looking for simply visually stunning: Samsara, Ron Fricke (2012)
