Poll Suggestion: Cinematic Interiors That Feel Like Another World

Intro: 

Some interiors feel like more than places to live. They seem to belong to worlds with their own rules, histories, and secrets - worlds that continue far beyond what we can see. What happened here? Who lives here? And what might be waiting just beyond the next doorway? Which one would you most want to explore from the inside? I suggest to first watch the slideshow for seeing the interiors in a bigger format. For discussion, please click here.

Suggestions: 

Please suggest titles like those already on the list. Maximum 2 picks per franchise - except franchises with an average rating of 8.0+, which may have a third pick.

List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4117453576/

List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4117453576/copy

Poll: TBD

Interesting list. ;D 
BTW, the picture from The Return of the King doesn't actually depict Orthanc (Saruman's tower), but Meduseld, The Golden Halls of Edoras in Rohan.
Also, Orthanc is in The Fellowship of the Ring, and I would use this picture for it:

Thank you for the explanation. Such fails always reveal that I'm not a a hardcore fan of LOTR. But please look at the image. It destroys the optical impression of the list. It's close to look like a black square with a few white ants on it. Do you have a better image? That would be nice.

Hmm. This one would be the best, but Saruman is mostly in the image:

If you do not want to use it, you could put the interior of Rivendell in The Fellowship. The best interior from Middle-Earth would be The Halls of Mandos in Valinor (where elves and Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo go at the end), but that is only depicted in Tolkien's The Silmarillion book (the complete Middle-Earth history). Shame we didn't see it on screen (although Silmarillion would be impossimble to adapt).

Alternatively, the interior of Helm's Deep from Two Towers might be good:

The Helm's Deep fortress is actually called Hornburg, so you could say: Hornburg Fortress Halls (optionally say: in Helm's Deep)

Also, you could also mention that The Golden Halls of Edoras are called Meduseld. For example: The Golden Halls of Edoras (Meduseld). :D

I've specified it like you suggested. Thank you. That's productive. Always good to have someone on board who knows their stuff.

Thanks! If you need any more fantasy/LotR/Tolkien consulting, you know where to find me. ;D

If I need any advice about LOTR, I would always ask Jessica or you. She is always involved when it comes to LOTR.

"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination..."  The chocolate churning room with the chocolate river in Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971 version, of course, and not that Johnny Depp travesty)

That's not the movie with Jhonny Depp, but the 2023 filming with Timothée Chalamet. Did you watch it?

@Breumaster​   The version with Gene Wilder from 1971 is a masterpiece.  It is one of my top five all time favorite movies.  The one with Johnny Depp (where he is channeling Michael Jackson in his performance) is pure cinematic garbage.  The newest one with Timothy Chalamet is merely mediocre.

I gave the older movie priority. Is that ok? :D

@Breumaster​   The original is magical, the remake is evil.  Yes, thank you.

I wouldn't have the idea to pick that. The one with Depp didn't make a big impression on me. But the set of Wonka is interesting. I would like to go to this mall and visit Wonka, just because of the setting.

@Breumaster​   You need to see the original with Gene Wilder.  I believe that it was filmed in Munich (you are German, correct?).

I know Geiselgasteig, the filming area, visited it. I climbed through the life-size replica of the boat from the movie 'The Boat'. But the time 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' from 1971 was shot in a time close before me. I know the movie and saw it twice. I know it's good and beautiful. I like it. It has an educating character for kids who watch it. Gene Wilder does great. But that doesn't mean I'm not open for new interpretations of the stuff. I'm open minded. So I also give sequels a chance. I did like the impression of the mall.

I read the book as a kid and saw the movies later (a long time after they came out). I must say that the movie with Johnny Depp is a little bit more accurate to it than the 1971 classic. Neither of them is fully accurate to the book, but the newer one is slightly following it more. I don't say the newer one is better, just objectively saying that it is a bit more faithful to Roald Dhal's work (but that one isn't a really good adaptation either). I liked both movies.

Due to the rules I can't put it on the list without erasing another. Maybe if there are no further suggestions, I'd open it for three movies per franchise. But only with good images. I want to keep the imagery in a high quality. That's why I asked about the black square. ;D

Honestly, I think this one depicts the factory a little better. The newer one has a bit if gothic/bizzare feeling. :D

So you would kick the 2023 filming?

I think you should keep both of them. Wonka is also a good film, and also different, so you would have two views of the same place and let the voters pick which one they prefer. ;)

I should do what with both of them? Ok, I was too fast. - keep. Thank you for correcting. :D

That's a good idea. For Depp, maybe see later.

Keep them, sorry. I'm actually from Serbia, so I sometimes make mistakes.

No problem. I'm from Germany. So I do, too. May I ask you where approximately you are in Serbia? Serbia is big. I had colleagues from Serbia as well as from Kroatia.

Shout out to Belgrade! The last years your Eurovision Song Contest Contributions were interesting. I mostly always did like them.

@Vandurath​   Isn't Belgrade becoming a big place for filming tv shows now?  Two of the current shows that I enjoy (The Ark and The Librarians; The Next Chapter) are both being filmed in Belgrade.  I do not know if there are others.

Too bad that there are no color pictures in movies of the famous Amber Room!  That would have been fantastic to see.

Maybe you can add one? I'm not sure if I got that film on DVD. In Germany there are strong copyright restrictions. I also don't like to violate rules.

Another suggestion that you may disagree with, but....

the "inside of the human body" shots from both Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Innerspace (1987).  They are both fascinating "interiors."
