The "Best House In A Movie" Nominees Are...

The Academy Awards are on tonight, and I can't wait!
I love the red carpet, the gowns, the speeches, and am looking forward to the new host, Seth MacFarlane.

I only wish there was a category for "Best House in a Movie!"
There are so many beautiful iconic movie homes.
Here are a few of the nominees I've chosen....

 The Godfather
Located in Staten Island.

American Beauty
Located in Los Angeles, CA

 Father Of The Bride
Located in Pasadena, CA

Marley and Me
Located in Chadds Ford, PA

Almost Famous
Located in Santa Monica, CA

The Money Pit

A Christmas Story

 Catch Me If You Can

 A Nightmare On Elm Street

It's Complicated

Steel Magnolias

    Father of the Bride would be my first house pick, then Home Alone as the supporting role.

    How funny that most designers remember a movie by the interiors and architecture? I certainly do because I knew most of them. What a fun post! Great idea.

    "Something's Got to Give" would do it for me with the side benefit of being in Southhampton.

    Father of the Bride! Thanks for the fun review.

    Practical Magic gets my vote! I believe it was torn down because it was built simply for the movie - alas, just a set. The kitchen scenes are wonderful - my dream kitchen.

    Too hard to choose. But if I had to it would be the house in Somethings Gotta Give. I live in Seattle and didn't realize that the house from Practical Magic was built on San Juan Island. Too bad they tore it down. Thanks for another great post.
