The “Something has Gotta Give” house is definitely at the top of my dream home list! Ahhh…just gorgeous! I’ve also always loved the “Father of the Bride” home and Meg Ryan’s apartment in “You’ve Got Mail.”

Yummy spaces, indeed!

I guessed Marley & Me, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Sex and the City right from looking at the pictures. From the clue, I guessed Parent Trap but I didn’t recognize the house at all.
I really loved Andrew’s family’s house in The Proposal. It is my #1 favourite house of 2009. I really liked the vampires’ house in Twilight and New Moon.

I got 6 out of 10. I loved all of these movie houses, but one of my favorites, that didn’t make the list, is The Home Alone 1&2 house.

These are really cool for me because I never seem to notice that much about the houses when I’m watching the movies. So I love that you break it down so I can really see it.

I love seeing the apartment from You’ve Got Mail. I had noticed that sweet little place and it was fun to look at it again.

Also, I’ve never seen Mr & Mrs Smith…what a house! In particular, I’m nuts about the lighting!

Thanks for posting these and I look forward to what you’ll have in 2010.

While I am NOT a beachy person, I’m crazy for the house from Something’s Gotta Give. But then again, who wouldn’t wanna cuddle up with Noah on that porch on a warm summer night? Mmmmmm. Pancakes and baconnnnn.

Did you hear the Rodanthe house sold? I saw an AP story that it was set to close early this month. I’m in NC and I saw it under our local news section.

Something’s Gotta Give is always my favorite. I just saw It’s Complicated and know that will be a future movie Monday for you. It was written and directed by the same person as Something’s Gotta Give. I had a feeling since there was a similar feel to the movie. Since reading your blog, I notice houses in movies alot more. Thanks and I really enjoy your blog.

You’re so sweet, Nancy!

Those quilted patterns show up when someone doesn’t have a photo/avatar. I chose them instead of that shadowy, faceless guy that other blogs use. Just thought they were pretty! (It’s a Wordpress option.) -Julia

My favorite is still Meg Ryan’s apartment in You’ve Got Mail, followed by Kate Winslet’s cottage in The Holiday and then the beach house in Somthing’s Gotta Give. Looking forward to this year’s movie houses. Happy New Year Julia!

This is my favorite part of your web site. I’m sure it takes a lot of time and it is much appreciated from me! Sometimes I watch movies just for the background, I’m sure you are one person that can relate. Will you be doing a post on “It’s Complicated”? I cannot wait see it on your blog!

I loved the interiors in The Proposal. The entire movie was gorgeous – the actors, the set designs, the scenery. Looking even more forward to seeing It’s Complicated now! My all-time faves are probably The Holiday (both houses) and Something’s Gotta Give, though I’m starting to tire of that one since it’s just everywhere.
