Ambient films

so, some days i really just want to do nothing but kick back and put on some kind of super chill movie, something that i don't have to follow if i don't want to, something like an eno record. as of this moment i have never found such a film.

there are moments in terrence malick films for sure, maybe this is the closest i can think of...

anyone have any recommendations? like, what is the chilliest movie you can think of?

inb4 Tarkovsky

The Bear is pretty ambient

oh yeah duh, how did i not think of that? excellent example.

@zkreso

Blue

holy shit blue seems pretty perfect.

the bear looks sad :(

Baraka, Koyaanisqatsi

while i love those i think they're too intense to qualify as ambient.

many of the studio ghibli films are great for that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ghibli

lol yeah Solaris (either version...the newer one if you want an amazing ambient soundtrack...the old one if you want perfectly haunting visuals) and Stalker are pretty much the first things I thought of.

There are a few scenes in the Ghost in the Shell that are pretty ambient.
