Oh, yeah. And Ed Harris' apartment with Julia Roberts in that movie wasn't half bad, either. What? No! That house was gorgeous. To this day, it's what I think Vermont would look like if I could move to Vermont. My newest favorite movie interior is the apartment from Rosemary's Baby. That made a film with a plot that would have been otherwise unwatchable to me completely mesmerizing instead. Apparently, it's from the famous Dakota building, and an apartment of similar construction in the same building was once owned by Leonard Bernstein. |

Does anyone else sit through Kalifornia just to get to the pretty beach house David Duchovny convalesces in? Just me then?

The Stone's family home in The Family Stone. A big, beautiful, New England home. It just looked so cozy and lived-in, as if the Stones had resided there for decades (which they probably did).
Also loved Jude Law's Italian villa in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Who wouldn't want a villa by the sea, with al fresco dining areas and all that casual luxury?

My other weakness is the British stately homes used all the time - Castle Howard (Brideshead Revisited), Chatsworth (everything), Wrotham Park (Gosford Park), Stokesay Court (Atonement), Highclere (Downtown Abbey). Drool-worthy, all. Oh yes, yes, yes!!! So glad to see this thread resurrected. Still love all the same sets I did 5 years ago, and agree with so many posters. So true, Wol, the British stately--and even no so stately homes--are fantastic. I also loved Peter's Friends, which was also filmed at Wrotham Park. And Carlton Towers, aka Hetton from A Handful of Dust . Burghley House (Fawns in The Golden Bowl). And I loved the Schlegel sisters' house in Howards' End (which may have already been mentioned). Sigh.... But I agree with those upthread who note that Woody Allen's sets are fab as well. I've always loved Woody and Diane's apartment in Manhattan Murder Mystery. The Thayers' cabin in On Golden Pond. Or Back of the Moon from Leave Her to Heaven. Makes me long to spend a summer on a New England driving a vintage boat. Tom Selleck's house in Her Alibi. Would live there today in a heartbeat. The windmill house in the wonderful Deathtrap. [/i] |

I am home! I didn't know there was a thread like this on here. The apartment in "A Perfect Murder" is absolutely gorgeous. I watched this movie several times when it was playing on cable continuously almost 20 years ago(!) I don't remember thinking it was any good, but it was just total real estate porn. |

Well, for me it is always Erica's beach house in Something's Gotta Give. Oh, and Daisy, count me in with loving the Her Alibi house. I don't even like wood that much and the movie is pretty bad but I swiped a copy of the DVD for 2 bucks just to see that house.

Any movie directed by Nancy Meyers has gorgeous set design and homes. Something's Gotta Give, What Women Want, Father of the Bride, It's Complicated, The Holiday = Real Estate Porn!
I'm sure her upcoming movie The Intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro will have beautiful offices and homes too. It's like her trademark.

I was wondering if FotB would get a mention here. For a long time, I thought every house I would ever see in Los Angeles would look like that.
Some awesome ones I forgot to mention: Sandra Bullock and hubby's digs in Premonition. We have a house like that in my city that I've been coveting for ages. Even painted the same color and everything.
The superb and spacious lake house in that 2009 film, The Uninvited. Really pretty. (And huge.)

John Hughes movies often had nice big ('80s) houses: Home Alone, Ferris Beuhler, Sixteen Candles, Christmas Vacation.
As someone who loved the Brady Bunch house when I was a kid, I really liked how they kept the same house for the movie, but moved the decor into the '90s - even if the family remained stuck in the '70s.

WWW is another film I sat through a couple times mainly to see Mel Gibson's apartment. This scene is basically designed to show it off. |
