Agreed, DarkPenguin - that was a very visually powerful movie.
The two most obvious ones, to me, weren't on the list:
Jean Cocteau's 1946 "La Belle et Le Bete", his retelling of the "Beauty and the Beast" story in black & white, with atmospheric lighting in a nightmarish/fantastical castle - for B&W photogs only.
Koyanisqatsi, especially the slow aerial shots of the American Southwest.
