The Bates house in Psycho.

Leelee Zobieski.....man she DOMINATED late 90s/early aughts young adult films (along with Julia Stiles)....someone should start a WEHT thread about her.

And The Glass House was a pretty decent movie.

The Cullen house in Twilight

The Poltergeist house in the original movie

The house in Diamonds Are Forever, where James Bond meets Bambi and Thumper

More about the house in North by Northwest.

Every single dwelling in the Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Victor Victoria. James Garner's flat. High Art Deco molded after the SS. Normandie.

Maurice Chevalier's place in "Gigi."

Bell, Book and Candle is notable for great sets that impressed me as a kid and which still hold up.

Kim Novak's stylized yet warm and elegant Mid-Century digs above the bookshop; Jimmy Stewart's book-lined office; the louche Village club...

Ewan MacGregor’s bachelor pad in “Down With Love”!

This doesn’t really answer your question, but I desperately want to sail on the ship in Poor Things.

The Penthouse apartment in Someone to Watch Over Me with Tom Beringer, Mimi Rogers and Lorraine Bracco. I wanted to live there.

The house and grounds where Richard Gere and Diane Lane lived in Unfaithful

Meryl Streep's house in It's Complicated

Meryl Streep's townhouse in Devil Wears Prada.

That's all.

Clint Eastwood's house in Play Misty For Me.

I thought I’d written r25 until I checked the time stamp. I also like Jimmy Stewart’s artist fiancée Merle’s place.

Ps, Kim Novak’s apartment was *behind* her primitive art shop; you can see it through the gauzy curtain. Stewart lived on the 3rd floor. Queenie lived on the 2nd or maybe vice versa.

The Swiss family Robinson’s treehouse.

Ingrid Bergman's apartment in "Indiscreet".

Of course, R30, Novak's apartment was behind the shop. I thought something was off with my geography. Thanks!

The house in the Grant/Hepburn movie "Holiday".

Margot Channing’s apartment in All About Eve.

Sharon Stone's house in Casino.

[quote] "The apartment in the original Boys in the Band."

It belonged to actress (and by then ex-wife of Christopher Plummer) Tammy Grimes. The patio shots were filmed on location. The interior was re-created on a sound stage at Chelsea Studios in NYC.

If all of them existed as portrayed in their respective films...

The home from "On Golden Pond" (still there, and can be rented), the humble Big Sur beach house from "The Sandpiper" (the entire house was eventually moved 200 miles north), the John Lautner house used in "A Single Man", the hacienda-style house (on a full ranch) from "It's Complicated", the Victorian from "Practical Magic" (which Streisand tried to buy, funnily enough), the house from "What Lies Beneath" (built in Vermont's DAR State Park), and Rosehill Cottage from "The Holiday".

[quote] "The apartment in the original Boys in the Band."

Ignore. This was bad editing in a hurry, on my part.

I thought Art married Candice Bergen in that movie? What’s Carol Kane doing there?

Gosford Park might do. Could be chilly, though.

Grey Gardens.

Diane Keaton's house in Something's Gotta Give.

The ranch house on the original Parent Trap.

Molly and Sam's apartment in Ghost.

I liked the houses in Poirot's Hallowe'en Party.

I liked Mia Farrow's NYC apartment in Hannah and Her Sisters.

I liked Kim Basinger's apartment in LA Confidential.

Aunt Pittypat's

Another vote for Mitch Evers’ (Brian Keith) ranch house in The Parent Trap.

Matt Helm’s (Dean Martin) house, with the round bed that automatically drops him into a waiting pool-sized bath tub, in the opening of The Silencers.

Lana Turner’s (Lora Meridith) house in Imitation of Life.

Why has no one mentioned the house in Mommie Dearest???

The main apartment in the movie whose name I can't remember for the life of me. The fifties movie with the nuclear bomb in the briefcase, that ends on the beach. Maybe has the word "killing" in it?

R49 - I may be thinking of "Kiss Me Deadly". Is there a great apartment in it with lots of windows?

The building was a 5 story home in Someone to Watch Over Me, sold for $48 Million. The kitchen and the bathroom look similar to waht I Remember from the movie. Gorgeous.

[quote] Why has no one mentioned the house in Mommie Dearest???

Because we are NOT ONE OF ITS FAAAAAAANNNNS!

The Apartment in…well..

Diane Lane's Italian villa in Under The Tuscan Sun

Leonardo DiCaprio's house and apt. in The Wolf Of Wall Street

Harry's place in When Harry Met Sally. A big loft with a wall of windows.

The house in Home Alone.

Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson’s in “Chloe.”

Divine's place in Pink Flamingos

The real Frank Lloyd Wright house from "A Summer Place"

Minnie and Roman Castevet's apartment in Rosemary's Baby.

When did "houses" become "homes"?

Apartment---"Dial 'M' For Murder." (Tony and Margo Wendice, London)

Townhouse---"The World of Henry Orient." (Marian and Avis Gilbert, NYC)

Estate---"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." (Lawrence Jamieson, Cap d'Antibes, Cote d'Azur)

R61.....

Barbara and Oliver’s house in The War of the Roses.

[quote]When did "houses" become "homes"?

When realtors and HGTV got involved.

The ET house. A fine example of a postwar suburban California stucco subdivision dwelling.

I thought the apartment in Dial M for Murder was kind of drab and cramped. I didn't like the fact that the bedroom was right off the living room. But I loved the oriental lamp, yellow and blue, on the desk.

However. If you've ever watched The Reluctant Debutante, a 60's ish Rom Com with Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall, Angela Lansbury, Sandra Dee and John Saxon, now that was a flat, or apartment I could definitely live in.

I loved the house Cary Grant's old grandmother lived in in An Affair to Remember. It was on a gorgeous island.

The architect's house in Christmas In Connecticut 1945. That giant fireplace and those picture windows, always loved it.

I always loved the house from Let's Scare Jessica to Death.

Good one, R68

Faye Dunaway’s apartment in “Network”, was marvelous. I wish I could find a pic of it.

The family estate in "Fanny and Alexander"

The Victorian mansion in "Practical Magic"

Maggie Smith's house in "Hook"

Meryl Streep's apartment in "The Hours"

R67, The Wendice apartment is small, but when one walks out that classy front door into London.....😘

The mansion in Cruel Intentions.

Yes R 17….. and throw in a sexy as hell Frank langella . Love that movie. Never found it but I have an old VHS that I copied back in the day. Yes I’m that old .

Somebody start a thread on that movie if there’s any interest .

My favorite movie house is “Gull Cottage” in “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” (1947).

I once went to the public beach at Dana Point, CA, which reminded me of the location for “Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” so many of the details were similar. But I later learned the actual location used was north of Hollywood.

[quote] Aunt Pittypat's

I think I’d prefer Belle Watley’s.

[quote]the house from "What Lies Beneath" (built in Vermont's DAR State Park)

[quote]I loved the house Cary Grant's old grandmother lived in in An Affair to Remember. It was on a gorgeous island.

Another vote for them.

Evelyn Mulwray's (Faye Dunaway) house in Chinatown.

Jame Gumb's place in Silence of the Lambs

The beach house in Nights in Rodanthe.

Diane Keaton's Vermont farmhouse in Baby Boom.

Vera Donovan’s house was nice.

The apartment in A Perfect Murder.

Denzel Washington's fabulous apartment in American Gangster.

The NYC brownstone in Gone Girl. Fuck Ben Affleck's mom, I never would have left.

[quote]I think I’d prefer Belle Watley’s.

Oh, dear.

Ummm…

All of the gorgeous NYC apartments in The First Wives Club.

“It was Belle Watling and Scarlett had a glimpse of nostrils distended with dislike before she disappeared again.”

Go fuck yourself, R89.

[quote]Yes R 17….. and throw in a sexy as hell Frank langella . Love that movie. Never found it but I have an old VHS that I copied back in the day. Yes I’m that old .

R76 doll—don’t insert a space after the “R” in referencing prior posts, because the space prevents your references from automatically linking to the post when we click … oh never mind.

(Who am I kidding? The old darling won’t even see this.)

The favela in Dawson’s Fifty Load Weekend.

Rachel Ward's apartment in Sharky's Machine.

The Jarretts’ house in Ordinary People.

The house Susan Sarandon lived in in Stepmom. In Maplewood, NJ, IIRC.

The Perlmans’ villa in CMBYN.

The villa in The Garden of the Finzi Continis.

The Corleone mansion in Lake Tahoe.

The house in Nanny McPhee has all the “Why The Fuck Not?”design elements of Industrialism. Then, the kitchen switches gears for something out of Rembrandt.

Nicole Kidman’s cottage in “Bewitched” had me searching everywhere for Moira clocks with cannon ball weights.

The Glenn Close secret mirrored apartment in Dangerous Liaisons was also fabulous

Ah, I'll always have a special place in my heart for that little flying cottage from Kansas...

Tess McGill's charming apartment in Staten Island in "Working Girl." The curb appeal was amazing!

R95 THANK YOU!! I loved Susan Sarandon's house in Stepmom. Loved it!

I loved the little apartment Virginia Madsen had and the house her friend lived in in the movie Sideways. The apartment had a fabulous view and her friend's house had a hippie/bohemian vibe plus set in wine country. Hell, I love the little beach shack in Murder in Paradise. I could make it look great. I'd rather have those then some oversized mansion.

OK. Wolf starring Jack Nicholson, Christopher Plummer, James Spader, and Michelle Pfeiffer She plays the wealthy daughter of an impossibly wealthy corporate Don. Her little house on the grounds of the estate is to die for! I loved it. I would have moved in in a heartbeat!.

The house in Malibu Colony in The Long Goodbye.

R92: I swear I did NOT insert a space doll. And yes I did see this.

I love the location and position of the house in [italic]Patriot Games[/italic]. The house itself is fine by me, but it's the location next to the ocean that I want.

Geiger’s bungalow with the round fireplace in The Big Sleep (1946). I’ve been obsessed with round fireplaces ever since and they’re hard to find. I like all the Oriental decor too.

Lauren Bacall’s apartment in Dark Passage. Fabulous.

Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, and Bryce Dallas Howard's houses in The Help.

R103 … and you needn’t cap the “r,” either. It automatically caps itself, but only if you omit the space from the reference.

People like the Lake Tahoe house in The Godfather II.

I liked Connie Corleone's apartment. That pregnancy bump looked so fake, though.

Bette Davis's house in Now Voyager, Beacon HIll with that little driveway, huge foyer and three floors. Let's have a fire to piss off Mother...

All That Jazz

From the outside only, Ferris Bueller’s house.

^ Cameron's house was way better...

R112 I like Cameron’s house too, but I’m a sucker for that traditional sprawling style that feels like old money.

^ Then you would love the Chicago North Shore, because there's a lot of houses that look like this...

R105

[quote] Lauren Bacall’s apartment in Dark Passage. Fabulous.

In case you didn't know, the address of that building is 1360 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. It's the Malloch building.

Pictures from some of the apartments can be found on real estate sites, like the one below...

R110 that apartment probably costs 10 million nowadays.

Jeff Bridges' estate where he and Glenn Close went horseback riding in Jagged Edge.

R115 how in the FUCK can a 1b/1b apartment go for 1.3 mil???

Has California lost their goddamn mind???

A Star Is Born (1954) house

R115 A friend and his wife (who live in Sausalito) got to house-sit for somebody in an apartment there for a week.

R118, Oh, Honey! If you only knew.

Manderley. Rebecca. But, of course, we can never go back.

R105 r115 Fabulous—thanks for the link. Perched, as realtors say, on fabled Telegraph Hill, with North Beach on one side, and the Embarcadero on the other, just below Coit Tower. Phenomenal location.

R118 Yes, $1.3 mil is steep for 800+ sq ft. But this building is situated on a hillside where almost every residence is its own botanical garden—some buildings with striking architecture, some ordinary, but all with views of the SF Bay. Nothing like it.

And that price wouldn’t even get you a small tract house in Silicon Valley an hour south, which is where the really disgusting RE prices are.

Vera Donovan's house in Delores Claiborne. Being a high-riding bitch served her well.

The Misery house minus the Liberace stuff & the big city office/apartment of the publisher.

The "Chucky chases everyone around the apartment" dwelling in Child's Play '88.

The small but cozy environs in "Boxing Helena."

I am only 44 and always say you all are 90+ however-

Those Sirk films had amazing sets - Christmas in Connecticut?- beautiful-

Diane Keatons home in Something's Gotta Give- perfect

However, the most stunning set EVER- was on a soap.

Cassandra Rawlin's home on Y&R was on a Douglas Sirk level- it was so beautiful.

This most amazing staircase- I cannot put it into words...

A castmember mentionned a few years ago that it was one of the most expensive sets on daytime- ever- I believe it.

I read that some scenes from Hannah and her sisters were filmed in Mia Farrow's Manhattan apartment and I loved that classy apartment. There was also a loft in that movie, but I loved the apartment best.

Did I already mention RIchard Gere and Diane Lane's house in Unfaithful?

R129- i loved that film and apt. Even Van Sydow's place was perfect

Barbra Streisand's penthouse in The Prince Of Tides.

The glass house in that Julia Roberts film (where she fakes her death & the stalker comes after her).

Also the Invisible Man's property in the recent remake from a few years ago.

The Family Stone

Manderley needs a proper introduction (28:21).

The Eastmans' summer house in A Place in the Sun

The mayor's house in The Book Thief

Charley's house in A Single Man

I enjoyed all of the "homes" in the scream films.

#3 had the best house with the secret rooms.

I hated our house. It was so middle class.

The Double Indemnity house

The Hearst Estate (aka The Beverly Estate) from Harper (1965) w/ Paul Newman. The home of Lauren Bacall and her daughter, Pamela Tiffin, in the film.

It's supposed to be located in "Santa Theresa" - a variation on Santa Barbara used by the novelist Ross MacDonald (whose book, The Moving Target, is the basis for the movie).

I failed to mention, it's actually located in LA, and sorry, I got the year of the movie wrong, it's '66.

H20 from 1997 had the best dwellings with the metal gates & all.

Cate Blanchett's house in the movie Carol.

I really liked Mel Gibsons characters apt in *What Women Want.*

The Deaton house from film Sleeper

For those who liked the Parent Trap home (preferably with Brian Keith in his prime), Marina Coates of the YouTube channel Mockingbird Lane did a re-creation of the home. This is part 1.

Tara, 12 oaks, and the house Rhett built scarlet after they married (not sure if it had a name) in Gone with the Wind. Manderley in Rebecca. Higgins haven in Friday the13th 3 mainly for the cool stairs,

The Soho loft Jill Clayburgh moves into at the end of An Unmarried Woman.

The entire estate in Wolf the movie with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher PLummer.

The Golden Girl's house.

Safety first.

The beach house in Mildred Pierce (the old movie, not the TV series).

I like the map of the coast of SoCal painted on the mirror over the bar.

By the way, here's the actual home used for the Pierce home in Glendale. (In the movie, the house has an upstairs, despite it looking like this on the outside).

Cliff Robertson's bachelor pad in "Sunday in New York."

[quote]I loved the house Cary Grant's old grandmother lived in in An Affair to Remember. It was on a gorgeous island.

Not an island, but in Villefranche-sur-Mer, just east of Nice.

Love this topic.

The Thomas Crowne Affair (1999)

I'm not even a beach/mountain/island lover, which all the more reason why I don't know why that Martinique house he flies her to fascinates me.

That reminds me - I loved Cary Grant's house in To Catch A Thief. The house and the location.

The villa today

Interior shot

What I don't like is that if you look at the actual interiors of the villa today, they're far more elegant. I prefer the rustic and general more modest preferences for country interiors people used to have.

Lois Lane's apartment in the late 70s/early 80s Superman films.

Gene Kelly's apartment on the Left Bank in An American In Paris.

I liked the exterior of Norma Desmond's mansion in Sunset Blvd. but the interior was designed as a set so bears no similarity.

Thanks, R155, that makes sense since they were on a cruise ship. Stopping in Nice would be a regular part of a cruise Itinerary. I've always wanted to go to Nice and the small picturesque towns along the coast in the south of France. St. Jean Cap Ferrat is one I always think of.
