#99. Life of Pi
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/57/Life_of_Pi_2012_Poster.jpg
Dir: Ang Lee
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy
Year: 2012

Ang Lee has a penchant for making movies that are just stunning to look at. Even his lambasted interpretation of the Incredible Hulk was way ahead of its time visually. But nothing quite comes close to Life of Pi, which might simply be the prettiest movie ever made.

I can't state enough how much this movie is driven by the visuals. As you'll see from the rest of this list, I am generally turned off by CG-reliant films (other than animation). But Life of Pi uses these elements perfectly to capture the magic realism of the narrative itself. The story is essentially a fantasy itself, so these aren't just images for the sake of aesthetic beauty. They add to the tale and to the spirit of the entire film, making for a magical experience.
