1. Simply put, Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai makes beautiful movies. In the Mood for Love (2000) is my favorite and no exception. The actors and their clothes are impeccable, and the interiors are colorful and clever. The "wallpaper" in the first image is Marimekko's "Appelsiini" fabric.
2. Any talk of colorful interiors in movies has to include Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Not only are the eponymous parapluies candy-colored, but almost every wall is vibrant pink, blue, or orange. Director Jacques Demy's incorporation of boldly colored wallpaper is pretty much unparalleled.
3. Pedro Almodóvar pays great attention to his female characters and his interiors, both of which tend to be colorful. All About My Mother (1999) is no exception.
4. Wes Anderson's films are never short on style. I've already offered to move into Margot's zebra-ed bedroom in the Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
5. In high school I was pretty obsessed with the BBC's 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (technically a miniseries). If you can see past Mr. Darcy, you'll notice how the elegant interiors feature wallpaper and the color green.
6. A movie starring Jason Segel would not seem like a source of design inspiration, but the main female character in I Love You, Man (2009) has great style that permeates her home and shop.
7. While a club isn't exactly a house, the titular cabaret in Moulin Rouge! (2001) functions as a home for Nicole Kidman's character. Appropriately, it is mostly red.
8. It has been a long time since I watched The King and I (1956), but check out that marigold palace!

I recognized the first photo immediately! The clothes, the apartments, the weather...all combined with flawless acting for a fabulous film.
Amelie is another one that is great.
This might not be as boldly colorful as you intend... but it's full of Green. :) The apartment that Andie MacDowell married a frenchman for in Greencard will forever live in my heart.
I love the graphic wallpapers in Lucky Number Sleven.
I agree with you on No1. It is a visually stunning piece of work...
I love the colors in the movie "Sliding Doors" with Gwyneth Paltrow. I especially liked her friends' kitchen.
The King and I! When Anna meets all the children the room they're in is pink and white. The whole palace is gorgeous, really.
Love Wes Anderson design as well, and I'm also inspired by the inside of Jeannie's bottle on "I Dream of Jeannie"!

I'm tacky!
with moulin rouge, you have to look beyond the theater itself: at satine's elephant suite (it just came out on blu-ray and i have some great shots to post on my flickr).
some great - almost overwhelming film sets: hero (jet li), house of flying daggers, and curse of the golden flower.
Totally agree with Amelie! That was the first movie that popped into my head!
I always loved the way Anna's dress moved when she danced with the King of Siam. It was like liquid gold.
If you love mid century and COLOR, you should see 'Love is a Many Splendored Thing' from 1956. Amazing set design.
In the Mood for Love has the best colors and cinematography in a movie I have ever seen. Wong Kar-wai's movies have great soundtracks too!
"Shallow Grave", a great thriller from the UK, 1995. Fabulous, colorful living room in a four bedroom flat (in Scotland), where 3 roommates hatch a plot. Great movie, great room!
Almadovar really is kind of color and print. My favorite being the wallpaper in Todo Sobre Mi Madre http://content6.flixster.com/rtmovie/61/616_gal.jpg to the
Fun fact: the store in "I Love You, Man" is Yolk in Silverlake.
Love the King and I as well, such rich colours and textures- great pick!
Umbrellas of Cherbourg is what immediately pops in my head too. Really saturated rooms.
Great selections here. Another Wes Anderson flick that I loved (mostly for the colors) is The Darjeeling Limited. The teal blues and saffron yellows were so vibrant and pretty, not to mention the various patterns on the walls and textiles.
If you like the eye candy in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, check out Jacques Demy's other classic, The Young Girls of Rochefort. I could happily exist in most 1960's campy French interiors.
What, no "Frida?" I was totally transported by the look of that movie.
The Korean film, "Oldboy" has some cool rooms as well. I was very surprised by some of the decorating choices for this very dark movie.
Have to agree with Pippee, the colorful rooms in Amelie were awsome!
The main staircase in Remains of the Day.
Ingrid Bergman's apartment in Indiscreet

Don't laugh, but I have always loved the apartment in Rosemary's Baby. As well as all the fabulous 60's clothes she wore in the movie. Everytime it comes on I watch it for the visual feast.
When I saw the fifth picture, I thought it was going to be Nanny McPhee. Lol!
A very colorful house, same actor. But not what I thought you'd pick, so I guess I was right. ;)
Another vote for Sliding Doors- love the beautifully colored interiors.
I've always loved Sally's blue and yellow bedroom in When Harry Met Sally.
And if black and white interiors count - I just watched Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky and it has fantastic black and white interiors.
I totally agree with Crabbit for "Frida" - amazing colors...
And I have to add beautiful home interior with burnt orange walls in Trapped (2002) with Charlize Theron.
There are some scenes in Smilla's Sense of Snow where the danish modern aesthetic is captivating. Indiscreet with Bergman. Anything by Hitchcock was stylish. I loved the opening scenes set in Denmark in Out of Africa. Didn't they have a great place in Eyes Wide Shut?
I enjoyed this post.
Someone's already beaten me to Shallow Grave, set in a wonderful Edinburgh apartment
Stepford Wives, when Nicole Kidman steps into Bette Midler's house - almost fainted.
Another vote for Amelie, Frida, and anything by Almodovar. But what about David Lynch? Blue Velvet? Lost Highway's interiors are remarkable....
I've always coveted Goldie Hawn's apartment in Foul Play. As a kid, I'd dream of growing up and moving into a place like that, and I'd still love to live there today (I wouldn't mind if 1970s-era Chevy Chase were there too). It's yellow and sunny, but still nice and cozy. Love it.
I <3 The Royal Tennenbaums - it's my favorite movie. The artwork throughout the whole movie is amazing.
onebravegirl- I'm with you. Foul Play! I have always been in love with that movie and the way her apartment looked.
I also loved In the Mood For Love. Such a sensual atmosphere on all levels- the mood, the clothes, the apartment, the story. Beautiful!
My favourite film for colour is Todd Hayes' 2002 'Far From Heaven' - not so much for the interiors (although the 1950s interiors are worth a look) but more for the colour used in the production design - rich autumnal colours that are picked up in particular in the costumes as well as in shots of gardens and trees. Absolutely stunning.
