If Days of Heaven is the most beautiful film, then what's the most beautiful book?

The first two thirds of Tender is the Night. Best prose on the planet without resorting to deliberate obfuscation and literary elitism

Assuming you mean prose, I'd say Little Big, Call It Sleep, Gormenghast or Tender is the Night.

Actually either "To The Wonder" (2012) or "Knight of Cups" (2015), I tend to oscillate between the two.

I'd say To the Wonder. After about 3 watches I finally realized it's one of his best films
