    Although it's a sound stage I love the house Dracula lives in on the new TV show. The mansion in the Sabrina remake is pretty incredible too.
  • 12 years ago
    Oh and not sure this counts but I have a real fondness and soft spot for the Flintstones house in the cartoons!
  • 12 years ago
    The Munster mansion is unbelievable!

    Show would be Full House. And movie would be the Malibu beach house in Spanglish.

    We can always choose the Palace of Versaille and call it good. lol
  • 12 years ago
    That palace, inside and out, is so unbelievable, that Napoleon preferred not to spend time in it.
  • 12 years ago
    Yes, it is. And, it's not like Napoleon didn't have his own 'over the top' chateau or anything...

    I have to vote for Father of the Bride. As far as apartments, it has to be Meg Ryans in You Got Mail. I think it's the pale yellow that makes it feel like home to me.

    rpolli,
    Do you like the house in the original Father of the Bride or the remake? I like the house in the original movie.
  • 12 years ago
    Carol I hate to say this, but I only remember one scene from the original in the foyer by a beautiful staircase. Apparently, i need to rent it to refresh my memory lol!

    anything with the White House.
  • 12 years ago
    My favorite movie house is from the movie It's Complicated. The garden, kitchen, and master bathroom are especially great. Tara from Gone With the Wind is pretty wonderful too. Love the columns in the front.

    Jill Witbeck Young: here is the Baby Del in Coronado, CA, just down the street from the Hotel Del. It's the house I grew up in! My father moved it from San Diego across the bay onto a beach front lot.

    Also it technically counts as a TV show house because an episode of Baywatch filmed there! It's the episode with the ghost in the Hotel Del Coronado.

    The 'Sleeper House' on the drive to the Rockies from Denver is an iconic landmark and perfect for the film Sleeper!

    The house boat in Sleepless in Seattle.

    The plantation house from North and South, so stately

    I haven't seen this house on a blockbuster movie but this is open as a house filming location. I love the house which is located in Los Angeles, with a complete film-friendly features. Hope this could also be used on future films. Their website is at http://5401olympic.com and the site's gallery shows the beauty of the house.

    Jill Witbeck Young and britm,

    Isn't the hotel in Some Like It Hot the Del Coronado or at least based on it?
  • 11 years ago
    The house for North by Northwest was just a set, but it was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The houses mentioned earlier for "Christmas in Connecticut" and "The Parent Trap" were also sets. Speaking of old movies, I also like the houses in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" with Danny Kaye and "Life with Father."

    The BBC consistently has superb art direction, especially for its historical dramas. I enjoy them the first time for the drama, and the second time for the costumes and architecture and setting. The lighting is fantastic too, and shows everything at its best.

    As for Downton Abbey, I much prefer isobel's and Violet's homes to Downton Abbey itself(Highclere Castle, Hampshire). They go all over England to film the show and the interiors don't always match the interiors:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606375/locations

    Top:
    Lady Violet Crawley's House (Byfleet Manor, Surrey) exterior and interior
    Mrs. Crawley's House exterior (church rectory in Bampton, Oxfordshire, also location of Downton Village) and interior (Hall Place, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire

    Although the pictures make the interiors look more yellow and darker than they should, both rooms show classic elegant Edwardian taste in light colors with subtle tonal differences to accent the paneled walls.

    I loved the historic Gamble House, that was Doc's home in Back to the Future. And the elegant estate on Gosford Park...the precursor to Downton Abbey.

    The simple New England elegance of The Barrett House from the film adaptation of the Henry James novel The Europeans starring Lee Remick

    Absolute favorite ever...
    Hepburn's home in Tahiti in "Love Affair"...that setting...I could see myself a little old lady happily puttering around there...

    You reminded me of Forrest Gump, so yes to that...
    The beach house in "Something's Gotta Give"
    The house in "To Catch A Thief"
    That island cottage that Brosnan took Russo to in The Crowne Affair

    The Castle in Anna and the King. Yes. I can like a castle if I want... :)

    Can't exactly recall this type of house being in a particular movie but any Charleston side house in any movie or show is my absolute favorite!
