I'm not a big fan of 2001. For me it felt much slower and less compelling than Solaris but then I haven't tried to watch it in a while. What I remember though is not caring very much about anyone in it. I should watch it again and see how I feel.

Two films which come to mind in relation to Solaris purely for their being slow and quiet/meditative and very human in their ways are Jarmusch's Dead Man and Malick's New World (of course when has to get past Colin Farrell to enjoy it).

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
