[[File:Return_of_the_king_scenery.png||thumb|500px|link=The Lord of the Rings (film)]]
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'' is so completely packed with it from start to finish that the saturated colors and imagery of the alien environment actually outplays everything else.
* ''[[Titanic]]'' gives us shots of the exquisitely designed first class areas of the ship. (And jaw-dropping scenes of the same gorgeous rooms being decimated)
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
* ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]''
* ''[[2010: The Year We Make Contact]]'' made excellent use of the ''Voyager'' probes' photographic record of the Jovian system.
* Same with [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s ''[[Barry Lyndon]]''.{{context|reason=How did 'Barry Lyndon' make use of 'Voyager' probe data?}}
* ''[[The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert|The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert]]'' is full of Scenery Porn describing the three protagonists' trip towards Alice Springs. Guilty also of [[Costume Porn]], with both during the climb to Kings Canyon.
* ''[[The Brothers Grimm (film)|The Brothers Grimm]]'': Nothing ''but'' Scenery Porn. The magical woods were the best part (possibly only good part) of the whole thing.
* ''[[Bram Stoker's
* Hammer Horror, namely their Gothic films has sumptuously lush and dazzlingly clean London and Transylvania.
* ''[[Cast Away]]'': There was considerable Scenery Porn in this [[Tom Hanks]] vehicle. The film spends a lot of time focusing on how isolated his character is, trapped on the island -- hence there is much time for the camera to celebrate the landscape. Most of the views looking out to sea are CGI-enhanced: the location itself was in the middle of a chain of islands all visible from the beach.
* ''[[Field of Dreams]]'': The producers went out of their way to ensure the most beautiful shots, by building the actual field on two adjoining properties to allow for uninhibited sunset shots, and sometimes breaking a single scene up over several days to ensure "Magic Hour" effects
* ''[[Curse of the Golden Flower]]'' is an indoor example which mostly takes place in an opulent Chinese castle overflowing with intricate ornamentation. The film extends the detail to [[Costume Porn]] as well.
** This is true of many Chinese historical dramas on film and TV. A feast for the eyes, you needn't understand the language or what's going on.
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* ''[[Mary Poppins]]'' had a very inviting London. And ''not a single frame of it'' is the real thing.
* ''[[Young Einstein]]'' has some impressive Australian scenery in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaOVeKvrEX4 this segment] (not to mention [[Awesome Music|great music]] to go with it).
* While not generally considered the best of the series, ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street|A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 4 The Dream Master]]'' and ''[[Freddys Dead the Final Nightmare]]'' are visually ''by far'' the most stunning.
* [[David Lynch]]'s ''[[Dune]]''.
* ''[[The Fountain]]''. Throughout the entire film, you find it hard to pay attention to the astronaut's story because you're gawking at the visuals. Then, at the end, the conquistador {{spoiler|reaches the tree}} and you're treated to an even ''more'' arresting vista.
Line 145 ⟶ 146:
* ''[[Amelie]]'' is very well known for its distinct visual style.
