pulchra, or puchre means pretty ... and bellus, bella is more along the lines of beautiful.

It's depending on the context.
The most common is "pulcher" but like all the Latin adjectives it's modified by the noun's gender and number.
so if it's referred to a masculine noun is "pulcher , to a feminine noun is "pulchra" and to a neuter noun is "pulchrum".
Other words meaning "beautiful", in general quite less used, are (I'm giving you masc. + fem. + neuter) :
speciosus, speciosa, speciosum
(beautiful/handsome/good-looking; attractive/appealing; presentable/respectable);
formonsus, formonsa, formonsum
(beautiful, finely formed, handsome, fair; having fine appearance/form);
amoenus, amoena , amoenum
(beautiful, attractive, pleasant, agreeable, enjoyable, charming, lovely);
formosus, formosa, formosum
(beautiful, finely formed, handsome, fair; having fine appearance/form);
decorus, decora, decorum
(beautiful/good looking/handsome/comely; adorned; graceful/elegant);
