Long Weekend (1978)
The Territory (1981)
Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)
The Dead (2010)
Duel (1971 TV Movie)

Might seem like a weird answer, considering it's Argento and there are a couple of other movies of his awash in beautiful cinematography and candy colored lighting that'd seem like the more obvious choices, but I really dig the sun-bleached look of the film. Beyond a couple of dark scenes, the movie is saturated in stark bright light, with lots of bland, earth tone interiors. I think I've read before that Argento wanted the film to look like a TV cop show and they pretty much nailed it. Not sure why I find it beautiful, really, since I can totally understand someone else finding it pretty drab and dull, but not me. I love the look of it. I think the shooting locations and the architecture of some of the houses in the film appeal to me as well. Such a neat movie oozing with style.
