Solaris

I love the shape of the backwards (uh, Cyrillic) 'R' in this title from Solaris:

(Solaris, part two)

Solaris, by the way, is a Russian science fiction movie made in 1972; it is really really beautiful, and I'm angry that I missed the last 15 minutes of because the disc was scratched. It uses a lot of ambient noise, long shots, and that thundery noise you make by shaking a big sheet of metal. It's weird, and not terribly realistic, but it's not cheesy either.
