the sets of Moulin Rouge are kick ass (I think)

Terminator 2 (The future scenes with the robots, and the opening post Judgement day shot is sooo fucking pimp)

The set of Dark City? Cmon people that one is unbelievable. They even used some of it for the first Matrix installment. The movie is an incredible visual achievement.

The alien colony in Alien really amazed me.

Hell in Hellraiser would creep me out as well.

Has anyone here seen Brazil? That movie had amazing sets!

Yes, Brazil is a brilliant film- a visual feast with terrific sets.

Another film that comes to mind is Pakeezah; an Indian musical (1971) with sumptuous, gorgeously romantic sets and colours. One of the greatest films ever made yet few have seen it in the West.
