    A few to check out:

    The Bird People of China (1998) -
    Directed by Miike Takashi

    For folks not familiar with this director - he is known for Hyper-violent depictions of Yakuza and Horror, but in 1998 he directed a really beautiful piece I highly recommend - out of his prolific career, It may be considered his most subtly touching film IMO...

    Kundun (1997)
    Directed by Martin Scorsese

    This was a very beautiful film that went under the radar when it came out. There are actually some stunning visuals capture on film - almost psychedelic (personally tested...) of the colored sand mandalas monks create and then destroy as a symbolic gesture of the lifecycle...
    Worth the watch ; )

    If you're into this historical type of film - there's also the wonderfully directed film "The Last Emperor" by Bernardo Bertolucci

    Kafka (1991)
    Directed by Steven Soderbergh

    A really fun film that taps into Noir, Mystery Thriller and even some Horror elements - Very Gilliam-esque in its portrayal of the main character's journey into a twisted reality fighting against society's push for order.

    It even has Obi-Wan Kenobi along with a host of other great cameos

    Dreamscape (1984)
    Directed by Joseph Ruben

    One hell of a ride haha - I try to watch this once a year - pretty bonkers and that damn snake creeps me out to this day since I was a kid...
