I personally think Brazil is beautiful in it's drab monotonous ways. It's about bringing beauty into your drab, boring, and mostly oppressive world. The shots are incredible, especially in... let's just call it "the room" at the end. It was originally going to be titled "1984", but Terry Gilliam decided to change the name since he had taken too many liberties and changed the characters.

Pan's Labyrinth comes to mind as well, despite being a darker beauty.

I'll also second Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, those movies are just plain stunning. They were even more stunning when they were released, but they still hold up today, which is amazing.
