You’re in luck,

I could throw some great parties and do some really good living it up if I had all of Tarak Nor to hang out in. Of course I’d keep Quark’s bar up and running…Timmy
The Scrivener named the “French Castle” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. To each his own. I would much rather live in the Castle Anthrax. “We are but threescore blondes and brunettes, all between the ages of eighteen and nineteen-and-a-half. . .”
I’m going to be the third person to say Mistlethwait(sp?) from The Secret Garden. It was the first thing I thought when I saw this thread. I tear up every time I watch it. By the way: the book? Not as good. It turns into “Collins Story” by the end and Mary is totally forgotten.
I would also LOVE to live in Discworld of Terry Prattchet fame.
Nothing special about it, but I used to live in Racine, as in the Racines Bells from A League of Her Own. Also I grew up in Whitefish Bay, WI. Just a block or two from where parts of Major League were filmed.
One can visit the Hotel Portmeirion, the resort where The Prisoner was filmed.
Narnia reminded me of a place I’ve always wanted to be
The wood between the Worlds
Nothing ever happens there and you can feel the trees growing.
I could spend my life there.
I’d tear down the house in Clue and have it rebuilt in Twin Peaks. I’m totally cool with the owls not being what they seem.
Fantasia.
Yet another vote for Hobbiton. I cried in the theatre when I saw how beautiful it was.
Um, Magneto’s lair droooooool
The prosperous days of Larry Niven’s Ringworld (when someone makes the movie, of course).
Longborne. Pride and Prejudice.
Can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet either, but Oz without a doubt. Yellow brick road and all.
Anne McCaffrey’s Pern, provided I can be a dragonrider or a harper.
- The apartment from Vanilla Sky
- The Psychadelic Pussycat Swinger’s Club in Austin Powers
- Jack Rabbit Slim’s From Pulp Fiction
- Rivendale
- The workshop from The Time Machine
- Tom Hanks’ apartment in “Big,” complete with trampoline.
- Ferris Buller’s bedroom
- And though I wouldn’t want to live there, I would love to visit the War Room in “Dr. Strangelove”
Somebody mentioned it already, but yes yes for the love of God HOGWARTS!!! Particularly if I get to be a witch too.
Castle Anthrax - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Whatever the planet name is in Barbarella
The house on top of Mt. Rushmore, North by Northwest
The NCC-1701-D
Touring the ruins of Tezuka’s Metropolis might be fun.
The houseboat from Sleepless in Seattle would be nice to live in.
The Pit from G.I. Joe would be fun to visit.
Duloc from Shrek seems like a nice place to visit. Aside from the fact that you’d probably get murdered by a Gestapo if you blinked the wrong way.
Halloweentown from Nightmare before Christmas. An escort might be wise, though.
Heaven, from What Dreams may Come. The entry charge is a killer, tho’…
no one has said… Sherman, Illinois!!!
Man, the chicks are hot and the guys are a bunch of wimps…
well, except for Judd Nelson. He’s harsh.

I think I may be first with this, but to live in Orthanc, Moria or Barad’dur from LOTR would be pretty cool.
Also Arrakis from Dune would be pretty good. Especially if I could control the spice.
And of course, to be totally nerdy, the Death Star.
