Set Shots - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 1971


Remember that magical feeling when you watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) for the first time? As a child, I remember desperately wanting to be one of those lucky kids...especially in the 'everything you see, you can eat!' room. As an adult, I still want to go there and eat everything in sight. The sets in this film are so magical and fantastic, just like Roald Dahl's story.


What is your favorite set from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Do you feel like the Tim Burton remake was as good as the original, in terms of set design?

Set Shots - Marie Antoinette, 2006

Marie Antoinette (2006) is one of my favorites, not only because of the eye candy that fills up every inch of the screen, but also for the killer soundtrack. I love how so many of the sets are full of girlish extravagance: flowers, feathers, candies, jewels and precious metals, plush cushions, and beautiful architectural elements. It really shows the opulence of that particular time and ruling party. The pastel color scheme is very feminine and sweet, much like all the tasty treats that Marie and her friends are always munching on.
