No order. Cinematography and concept art, set design, etc, the things that make a film gorgeous to look at. Films you could appreciate in silence.

1. Citizen Kane. The camera angles, placement and shot choices are impactful especially because they frame the story beautifully.
2. Vertigo
3. Blade Runner. Boring story, But not a dull film. The set design alone is incredible.
4. Blade Runner 2049, nuff said
5. Empire Strikes Back, never a scene without vivid imagery and dramatic shots
6. Fury Road. Just unfuckingreal. Artistic, every frame.
7. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. If you've ever seen it you know.
Just the rotating shot at the Mexican standoff end is powerful, let alone everything else
8. 2001 ASO. Carefully laid out, incredibly intricate camera setups and composites, with a sense of movement that envelopes the slow pacing
9. Prometheus. Flawed but gorgeous. Needed another rewrite but beautiful.
10. Everybody's favorite, Smokey and the Bandit
 
Children of Men deserves a mention
 
Some great selections here, although I completely disagree with your assessment of Prometheus as visually stunning. Typical shallow, CGI-driven film.

Few mentions off the top off my head:

Valhalla Rising
Darkest Hour
The Revenant
 
It’s After the Sunset for me

I feel like the Matrix suffers rewatching now, the effects don't look very good.
 
Just about anything by Darren Aronofsky
 
Lots of good ones itt. A very long engagement , set during the 1st world war had some great trench scenes , and captured the period well imo.
 
Baraka and Samsara for sure. Akira has some pretty stunning art.
 
I forgot about one of my favorites: The house of flying daggers, of course!
Watch it in 4k or at least blu ray.
