They lock themselves in libraries to study detailed plans of city blocks; they completely invent the architectures of fictional planets; they get nerdy about tiny details we may never notice on screen. From sumptuous wallpaper to grimy gutters, Wakandan waterfalls to flooded South Korean alleyways, the attention to detail paid by production designers is often beyond comprehension.

List your ten favorite films based on their production design aesthetic and/or art direction, and tell us why in the notes.
