The sweeping fields of Days of Heaven.
The site of the picnic in Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Walkabout also contains some spectacular landscape shots.

Now, I'm not talking about scenes of war or such... While those are interesting, I want mostly landscapes. yes, I mentioned All Quiet first and that was probably my fault, but The Sound of Music is more in the line of what I was thinking...and some others I've thought of include the establishing shot of the Overlook in The Shining or the opening landscape of the planet earth from space with the sun rising over it from 2001...

Agreed.
Pretty much anything from the LotR battles and the original Star Wars trilogy, of course. The graveyard hill in The Nightmare Before Christmas is instantly recognizable, at least for my generation.

The stark, beautiful beach with the little village at the top in Local Hero is the first one that comes to mind.

Roddy McDowall and Donald Crisp at the top of the hill looking down at their valley at the beginning of How Green Was My Vallley.
The magnificent vistas of Monument Valley in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.
John Wayne riding in to "get" Natalie Wood in The Searchers.
The city landscapes of Rome in La Dolce Vita.
The African landscapes of Hatari.
The rows upon rows of crosses representing the dead of World War I in Oh! What a Lovely War.
The hellish bomb filled landscapes of city streets in The Hurt Locker.

The Austrian mountaintop where the camera first captures Julie Andrews as she starts to sing The Sound of Music. Not sure if it's an iconic landscape but this scene sure is an iconic moment in film history.

This is by far not the most memorable landscape in movie history, but I'll never forget the image of the ships landing on the beaches of Normandy after the opening battle in Saving Private Ryan.

What do you think are the most memorable movie landscapes in history? Whether it's the rolling hills leading up to the Emerald City or twisted battlefield of All Quiet on the Western Front.
Iconic should be the word, but immediately recognizable is what I'm looking for. If you had not seen the entire movie, but only one still image from the film of a beautiful, wide landscape, what landscape and what film would it be from?
