Hero, absolutely.
And another: the incomparable RUSSIAN ARK. Over eighty minutes long, shot in one take inside the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. INCREDIBLE. BREATHTAKING.

Mirror Mask is a beautiful movie. I also love Pans Labyrinth because of the gorgeous art direction. Another one that's interesting is the one more modern Beatles music one. Though for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.
