Top five dwellings from movies/TV/literature that you'd most like to reside in?

Cafe Society

  1. Dredson’s apartment from the Dredson files. It just sounds so cozy to me, right down to the tapestries and layered rugs.

Don’t read if you haven’t read Changes yet.Well, before it got blown up at any rate.

  1. The house from the first two Addams Family movies. All those secret passages, and that giant slide would make for fun living.

  2. Wayne manor, for the same reason as #2.

  3. Redwall Abbey, but only if I got to be a squirrel.

  4. The Winchester Mystery House. I don’t care if it’s haunted or not, I just love how it was designed and built.

22

Stately Wayne Manor, of course.

Madness’s “Our House”

Wouldn’t want to live in:

Jamie Gumb’s house.

23

Presumably you’d want to add a kitchen and bathroom facilities. :slight_smile:

You say that like it’s a bad thing!
I prefer: “Worship from afar.”

My five, since most of the good ones have been taken:

The Palace at the Emerald City.
Doc Savage’s headquarters/apartment. (Lot’s of steampunk gadgets!)
The Fortress of Solitude (surely he needs a caretaker)
The Hotel from Key Largo
Xanadu from Citizen Kane

24

the house of Elrond, Rivendell.
(counts as all five picks)

25

Woody Allen’s apartment (the nice one he moved out of) in** Manhattan**.

Hannah’s parents’ apartment in Hannah and her Sisters. The loft is nice, too.

I could stand a lot of Woody Allen movie apartments.

26

Henry Higgen’s house in My Fair Lady. Especially the library!

28

Give me either of the Crane’s apartments and I’ll be happy.
mmm

29

Woody Allen’s apartment (the nice one he moved out of) in** Manhattan**.

Hannah’s parents’ apartment in Hannah and her Sisters. The loft is nice, too.

I could stand a lot of Woody Allen movie apartments.

30

My memory isn’t good enough to list them - but they usually houses that sit over looking a cliff beside the ocean.

31

I want to change this one. Instead of Wayne Manor, I want the castle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, just for the library. A magical library with books that can transform into any book that has been or will be written? Yea, I’d never leave that room.

32

Just thought of another one: The Villa Gaeta on Lake Como in Lombardia, Italy (Mr. White’s villa at the end of Casino Royale).

33

And yet another: The Chateau Chantilly, a.k.a. Max Zorin’s estate in A View to a Kill.

34

If cartoons are to be included, then the Venture Compound would be my top choice.

35

The house on Something’s Gotta Give was my first thought.

36

The order in which I covet:

  1. Gull Cottage from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

  2. William Peterson’s beach house in Manhunter

  3. Dr. & Dr. Floyd’s dolphin tank living room from 2010

  4. Barton Cottage from Sense and Sensibility

  5. The Sleepless in Seattle house boat

37
  1. The apartment in Caché
  2. The mansionette in The Sopranos
  3. The house (and setting) in The Waltons
  4. The cabin (and setting) in Rascal
  5. The house (fixed up) in Dolores Claibornes
38

It is called Oakley Court. According to imdb.com, it was also used in Vampyres: Daughters of Darkness, and several Hammer horror films.

My wish list:
The royal palace of Ruritania, from The Prisoner of Zenda.
Ming’s palace, from Flash Gordon.
Wayne Manor, from the Batman movies (Preferably the Michael Keaton version.)
Just about any of the James Bond villains’ lairs. (Preferably the ones with swimming pools surrounded by scantily-clad beauties.)

39

Mine too.

40

The Addams Family house, either from the movies or the original TV show

Holbrooke Grant’s place in Date Night.

Hogwarts

Gaius Baltar’s lakehouse on Caprica from Battlestar Galactica
