Seconding "In The Mood For Love". What a brilliantly placid film. Those slow motion shots of Maggie Cheung in the food markets, the smoke rising against the lights, those crimson red curtains fluttering in the wind. So good.

Adding my recommendation for The Fall. A stunning movie. Just amazing.

Tokyo Drifter has colors associated with each character. Kind of like a video game.
The Lion King has extremely vivid colors.
I think Scott Pilgrim vs. the World plays around with color, but I've only seen it once and don't remember.
Spring Breakers has a wide-ish color palette.
Fantasia 2000 is quite colorful.
Oh fuck me, the perfect answer was sitting not five feet away on my shelf. The Fall.
I had been looking for this movie for years! I remember seeing the trailer but not remember any details other than it looked super cool. Thanks so much!

Dragonball Evolution. The reason I love it despite its numerous flaws is that it's the closest live-action film to a cartoon/anime/comic-book I've ever seen. It's the most colorful movie I can think of.
This.

There are the first movies I thought of as well. Excellent choices.

Dragonball Evolution should NEVER be recommended for anything that suggests there is a single redeeming quality about it. Also how is this the closest live-action adaption when we have shit like Guardians of the Galaxy and Watchmen?

When you're watching a movie on drugs I imagine the story is pretty irrelevant.
Speaking of which, the subject matter might be a bit touchy considering the circumstances but A Scanner Darkly might be an interesting watch;

Speed Racer
Enter the Void
Only God Forgives
The lighting in Only God Forgives is ethereal. Love it for that alone.
Yes, this. One of the most beautiful films. And it doesn't just have it's visuals going for it.

Great movie, but mainly bc I oggled Emile Hirsch in it.
Anyway, my recommendation is The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It's a very scrumptous film for the eyes.

I didn't say "adaptation." It's not a good adaptation of Dragon Ball.
There's no movie as colorful and over-the-top and wacky. Not even Speed Racer. Most movies tend to alter dialogue to make it work for live-action movie standards. DBE dialogue is written and (mostly) delivered like it's an actual cartoon. People shit on the dialogue and the acting without realizing it's the same thing in anime of this type.
Nevertheless, good or not, the OP only asked for movies that are colorful. I recommended one of the movies I use to test my TVs.
The visuals and cinematography are great yes, but what a let down of a movie. Such a downgrade from Drive. The marketing for the movie didn't help either, but I was so disappointed in it.

I didn't find it a letdown, cause I wasn't expecting something like Drive from Refn again. Only God Forgives fits with Valhalla Rising in his filmography that are less about style over substance but something deeper about violence and heroes. They're not poppy, they're more atmospheric and I don't know mythical which is why they have little dialogue. I appreciate them for different things.

Recently watched Slow West which is very colourful. Also very good.

Do you want to kill him?
Me and my friends jokingly (or not?!) refer to that movie as "Epilep City" because damn!
Seriously though, Speed Racer is probably the most colorful movie I have ever seen in my life.
Also Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (which is my favorite movie of all time) is very colorful, too.
Another jump in the paint bucket would be Who Frames Roger Rabbit, Pleasentville, and almost all animated Disney movies.

Marie Antoinette is such an underrated movie.

Anyway, speaking of visuals, in a recent thread about the Matrix trilogy someone pointed that the sequels were lacking in "iconic" or memorable visuals. Speed Racer has got to be the complete opposite of that. Nearly every frame in this movie is gorgeously composed to deliver maximum awesome:

First thing that came to mind.
Amélie Poulain, with its red-green-yellow idealistic/romantic tones.
