I have Hannibal (the movie) playing right now... I am struck by the contrast between the beauty of many shots, especially of Florence, Italy, and the horrifying ugliness of other scenes. Florence is so beautiful... I think I actually get a (very small, but real) attack of Stendhal Syndrome, just watching Hannibal.

Does anyone here have any other movie that comes to mind, in terms of shifting back and forth between great beauty and great ugliness and horror? It could be any kind of beauty, architectural, artistic, natural (sunsets, the Grand Canyon, etc), female... whatever.

Some of the Hammer films are visually stunning as well. Vampire Lovers is a good example. Same with some of the Roger Corman movies with Vincent Price.
