The Cell.
The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Most of the films by Tim Burton.
Lemony Snicket.

Most of Terri Gilliams movies. Brazil, Time Bandits, Fisher King, even Tideland, although there is a huge creepy factor with that one.

Watch the movies of Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman, particularly Vynález zkázy (1958) (an adaptation of Jules Verne) and Baron Prásil (1962) (the Baron Munchausen film that inspired Terry Gilliam to do his version)

The City Of Lost Children and Zero Theorem have that DieselPunk aesthetics that I absolutely adore. If you like this subgenre, then Hellboy and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen are also quite aesthetically pleasing.

In a slightly less 'artsy' way, Willy Wonka / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Labyrinth

Hausu

I thought a lot of the premise came from the 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, so I'd suggest watching that. warning: it's dated a bit with a white man playing an ancient Chinese man. otherwise, some swell effects and fun!
