Hi Al,
This may be borderline, depending on your definitions -
Solaris (the 2002 remake) with Richard Baily's gorgeous, ethereal, abstracted moving light sequences.
Baily wrote, "if y'all have not seen Soderbergh's Solaris remake, i urge you to rent a copy of it and spend some time with it. i have about 40 shots in there which are the most majestically LSD thing i have ever seen in the cinema." (from a post on CVM discussion list)
Baily loved and was influenced by Jordan Belson's work, and his work on Solaris was indeed a tribute to Belson's work on The Right Stuff years earlier (both portray the spectacular atmosphere of 'outer space' seen through the windows of a spaceship).
Baily did abstract and avant-garde VFX sequences for other features as well, including Stay (2005).
