I agree with those who listed the original
Solaris (1972).

Yes. When I saw this movie the first time, it blew me away. It's one of the few movies I actually purchased on DVD. There are fewer than a dozen in that mix. I don't tend to rewatch movies.

I derived my username from this film. I wouldn't say this has a plot, but it's more of a documentary based on themes that hinge on stark juxtaposition (nature/human...human/human) and perceptive bliss via stunning filming techniques and editing. And the scope is incredible: it was filmed at 152 locations in 24 countries. The soundtrack plays a huge role as well. It's one of those few films that doesn't require words, whether it be narration or dialogue. There is much one can get from the film, and most would benefit from multiple viewings. (Yes, this is another film I've acquired on DVD.) If you ever get a chance to see it on the big screen, please do.
Baraka is sublime.

This film had the same feel to it as did
The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke. By this I mean the somewhat spacious character study. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.
