The biggest movies are spectacles that can teleport your eyeballs to another world but so much of that is done through green screens and special effects now that it’s important to note when it’s not (or when it’s done really, really impressively digitally). CineFix has come up with 10 of the coolest movie sets that actually existed in real life (or took a helluva impressive time to build).

Loooove that they included Waterworld - massively underrated film (properly rated by those that have actually watched it), and holy shit, did not know they created a real atoll.

Dennis Hopper, man. Always a great antagonist.

I always get shit on for not being a huge fan of the LOTR films (dialogue is just melodramatic for me), but Gandalf guiding his cart into that perfect set with that perfect music playing is just...perfect.
