Rivendell and Bag End have already been mentioned. But Cair Paravel, in the golden age of Narnia, would be cool too. You could go for a swim right out your door, if you felt like it. ---

**plnner** stole, stole I tell you, Xanadu from me! (May I still come and visit? You’d never know I was there!) So instead I’ll take the Treehouse from the original _Swiss Family Robinson._ ---

Two spots: 1. Stallone’s house in Oscar. It’s a brilliant neo-classical house with atrium and large library and foyer. 2. The villa in Branagh’s ‘Much Ago About Nothing’. Marvelous old villa in the Italian hills. ---

Damn, there’s some good ones in here. Here’s some more from me: • Sharon Stone’s Stinson Beach house from _Basic Instinct_. • The bad guy’s Tiburon house from _Magnum Force_. (The scene where the Motorcycle Cop tosses a tear gas canister into the pool and starts shooting away with a machine gun, killing Suzanne Somers among others. Hey, I bet I could get it cheap after that massacre!) • A TARDIS. Of course I’d have to also be a Gallifreyan Time Lord. 🙂 ---

I’ve always liked that cantilevered house with the huge windows in _North by Northwest_ overlooking Mount Rushmore. ---

Bright a’ Morn from _The Quiet Man_. Provided I could have Maureen O’Hara’s hair to go with it, and the horse and buggy. ---

I’d like to live in a Michael Mann movie, since everyone seems to have groovy beachfront houses they couldn’t possibly afford. ---

Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor)‘s swingin’ 60s bachelor pad in _Down With Love_. Also his wardrobe was pretty sweet. ---

Well since some of us have drifted into TV, I’ll chime in with the Red Dwarf. Food machines all over the place, a private cinema, fully stocked bars, of course I would have to be alone or only with a handful of others. The fully crewed one woudl be too crowded. That planet in ST:TOS where whatever you think about comes to life. I have a really vivid imagination sometimes. ---

> [@karomon](#): > > The Tennenbaums’ brownstone from _The Royal Tennenbaums_ was the first thing I thought of. I’m with you on that one, that house is just amazing. My other choice would be Lothlórien. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-real-estate-in-which-youd-like-to-live/226327.md?page=1)
