I watched "Lawrence Of Arabia" for the first time (in two parts) over the past two nights. It's a remarkable film, obviously, and I'm sorry it took me so long to get around to it.
Perhaps its greatest achievement is how visually stunning it is. I'm contemplating whether or not it's the most beautifully photographed film I've ever seen; the only one I can think of off the top of my head that rivals it is "Barry Lyndon".
Every shot in "Lawrence" is just incredible. From the Sherif Ali mirage sequence, to the shot of Lawrence on the camel by the sea, to the vast, forsaken desert landscapes -- it's all remarkable. "Lawrence Of Arabia" is a film that in no way, shape or form could be matched today on a visual level; a combination of digital cameras, CGI, and budget/time restrictions would never allow it. I'd love to see "Lawrence" in 70mm if I ever get the chance.
So, what is the most visually stirring piece of film you've seen?

Lawrence and Barry Lyndon rank very highly with me too. Thin Red Line and The Handmaiden deserve consideration.   |

I'd agree with most of the ones mentioned so far and will add The Assassin [2015]  |

I'd say this is one of the most subjective criteria out there.
