Fantastic Worlds and Cinematic Spectacle

Here are some of the most fantastic landscapes and worlds from movies/documentaries/films/animations I've seen:


Paprika Parade

a hodgepodge of walking appliances, oversized frogs, creepy toy dolls, robots walking around in an inexplicable parade from the psychological thriller anime, Paprika best encapsulates the sense of wonder and schizophrenia of a particularly incomprehensible dream



Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (because the landscapes of love is amazing)



Maborosi seaside

Koreeda Hirokazu's film about loneliness and redemption has a quiet tranquility especially in the rural seaside landscapes




Tetsuo's mutation spawned a new genre of anime



A great movie about the subsconscious and death


Unbelievable hand drawn animation from Studio Ghibli





Little Nemo and adventures in Slumberland

Nemo's flying bed was always something I wanted to travel through when I was little


Baraka



The Ocean and the whale in Pinocchio



Richly gilded and fantastic images in the fall


Urban decay in Watchmen


Old Boy


Beautiful Landscapes of Dil Se


Hitchcock's SF



Kung Fu Hustle



Forbidden Planet


The Forest in the wizard of Oz


Akira Kurosawa's dreams


The country side in Modern Life


Herzog's La Soufriere



Another film about urban growth and globalization


Violence and urban decay


The city of the future


the future of immersive user interfaces in minority report



Parrots and telegraph hill



peaceful (and cute) country side of Komaneko
