I agree, this is a really good movie. As a Tim Burton fan, I think that this is one of his greatest masterpiece (and of cos, edward scissorhands) =)

There is one movie that I still remember many scenes of it (I watched it 10 years ago)
Ulysses' Gaze by THEODOROS ANGELOPOULOS.

Agree to most already mentioned. Might as well add this HK musical drama film called Perhaps Love (or in Chinese name, Ru guo · Ai).
The art direction and the cinematography are really neat :)

Definitely one of my all time favs. The set design and the music in that movie were top notch. I actually have a copy of the glass that Deckard drank from in the movie! You can see it (and buy one) here.
