Line 25:
** ''[[The Tree of Life]]''
* ''[[The Fall (film)|The Fall]]'', where every frame of the movie could be hung in an art gallery, though most of this is due to being filmed all over the world, rather than set design. In fact, scenery porn seems to be director Tarsem Singh's specialty, considering how much his previous film ''[[The Cell]]'' has it. Judging from the trailers, his next film, ''Immortals'', will also have it in abundance.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''. The films are sometimes described as "the best advert the [[Useful Notes/New Zealand|New Zealand]] Tourist Board ever had".
** This is directly mocked in ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]''. The band's manager is a New Zealand tourism board employee, and his office is full of travel ad posters referencing ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''.
** From the trailer, it's seems that the prequel to LOTR, ''[[The Hobbit (film)|The Hobbit]]'', will pretty much follow its footsteps in showing the beautiful landscape of New Zealand.
Line 137:
* ''Silk'' (2007): filmed in Japan and Italy and containing many sweeping establishing shots of places all around the world as the main character travels from Europe to Asia to fetch silkworms.
* Almost any [[Bollywood]] romance film. Seriously, you can turn the sound off and just watch.
* ''[[Valhalla Rising (Film)|Valhalla Rising]]'' has notable amounts of Scenery Porn--long shots of the Scottish highlands {{spoiler|and Eastern Canada}} with little dialogue.
* ''[[Vertical Limit]]'' is set on K2 and was filmed on several mountains around the world, and makes full use of it. The beauty of the scenery almost makes the human suffering even more jarring.
* As the title suggests, the romantic comedy ''A Walk in the Clouds'' is arguably nothing but this. Even the scene of the vineyards burning is gorgeous.
