The Bond films are known for the fantastical homes/bases they build for themselves, but what other films have villans with lairs you would kill for? I'm not mentioning any because I want to know how many you know, and not at all because I can't think of any right now and fear the embarrasment when I'm remind me the ones I should have known

Ozimandias' Arctic lair in Watchmen:
Lando Calresian's office, which Vader was occupying, sort of counts, in a subletted air-b&b sense. It was certainly a beaut. Star Wars in general had incredible architecture, even if it didn't always make 100% sense.
Batman villains traditionally had great evil headquarters too, though for some reason can't think of a specific one at the moment. Batman villains always had thematic designs to make their HQ unique from the competing villains.
The villains in both Incredibles movies had stylin' Adam-inspired HQs,and when we went inside were accompanied by swangin' Barry-style music.
What about Mordor? Sauron had a whole desolate wasteland of a country, surrounded by a wall of mountains on all sides and a volcano in the centre, does that count? We never do see Barad-dûr, the building in which he "lives", it's much too Evil to be actually depicted.
"The spectre of defeat..."
Would be a great film IMO for the 'Watching the 007 movies together?' thread now that the Bond films are finished. That or 'Dial M for Murder' I think would also be great.
