The prompt is A film that is visually striking to you - and you haven't already picked in a prior category, or was picked by me in the category before this one. (Not that I think anyone is going to pick Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Akban).
Err...I don't know. I'm drawing a blank. Visually striking films? I thought Gone with the Wind was a visually striking film, but I have "issues" with the film, so don't want to pick it..
Say what you will about the above film - it is visually striking, one of those films you kind of have to see on a huge screen.

But then... it is a Ken Russell flick. So... you could pick almost any of his works, and it would fit the prompt. A(n) (in)famous film he released in 1971 was the first X-rated film I saw playing in an actual movie theater. (The "NC-17" classification was still many years away).
