1980ies flash gordon (lots of crazy stuff with lots of color and cool architecture!)

forbidden planet (awesome futurist matte sets)

sky captain and the world of tomorrow (retro futurism)

metropolis (bioshock: the movie)

aliens (the reference on space colony architecture)

logan's run (apocalyptic views of washington overgown by vegetations, awesome matte sets)

thx 1138 (creepy minimalistic architecture with lots of cool gadgets)

caligula (this is more like a porn movie gone weird but the sets are awesome!)

so many movies , but these all have interesting art design

[Psyshokiller]

When I was reading the topics headline "Dark city" popped up in my mind immediately, then reading it as the first one on the list was fun.

Alien trilogy

Serenity

Final Fantasy movie.

Edit: Peris was faster

Oh and "Finding Nemo" for underwater env.

[JAL]

Akira

Star Wars movies

Ultra Violet

Indiana Jones movies

Gladiator

Serenity & Firefly (TV-Series)

Mad Max movies

Escape from L.A.

[e-freak]

Saw (and similars) for small, dangerous rooms.

Saw

Hostel

I dislike those movies as a whole but the architectures and styles can be very inspiring for games.

[Sentura]

cube 1 & 2! (innovative traps)

[MJ]

Sunshine

[dux]

Sunshine

Pitty about the acting.

[Sly Assassin]

Enemy at the Gates (Good for destroyed buildings for dod mappers etc)
