I'm sure others showed better but the first one that came to mind is the Beethoven-accompanied nature collage in Edward G. Robinson's forced suicide scene in "Soylent Green" where he's permitted to select what he wants to see and hear as he dies.

playing the same note again, this very aspect is what is so alluring about A Vertical Ray Of The Sun. The lushness of the tropical background, whether in urban gardens or in the island wildernesses is luxurious.Lawrence Of Arabia.
That opening scene in Aguirre: The Wrath Of God is staggering.

A Room With A View
The Endless Summer
"Im not scared"
"Rabbit Proof Fence"there are many others too. It's difficult to pick only one.
The fields in Fays Of Heaven, the feel of the woods in Badlands, the jungle in The Thin Red Line, the entire scenes of the arrival in the Americas.

Malick should have seen them...
His films, with their pace and their cinematography, allow one to REALLY see and take in the feel of the nature he so lovingly presents to us. There's a depth and an understanding and a window into the beauty of the world in the visuals in his films. Of course one has to be open to that to experience it... otherwise it might just seem like boring wheat fields.
Two mediocre ones and a good playwright.
And that little girl narrator? The ugliest, most irritating little brat. Didn't care for her accent or impediment, either.
Malick is the most overrated American director of all. He tries awfully hard to be "European" but he's a pale ghost.
His war film was pathetic, too.
Now, s, don't take this personally.
Its about nature visuals.
And all of Malick's films have extraordinary camerawork.
