I got all but two!
I watch way too many movies and spend too much time on this site! I got them all!
huh, not one, and being such an avid follower of your blog, you’d think I’d know them immediately!!! shame on me
.-= Annie@A View on Design´s last blog ..The Lindrum 58 =-.
I couldn’t get them all, that was tough. But I would know that last one from a mile away!! I love that movie, especially for the dream Hampton’s home. I think the home was pretty much as important a ‘character’ in the story as Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton!!
.-= Nancy@marcusdesign´s last blog ..{curves in all the right places} =-.
Wow! I did horrible. I could only recognize 4 of them. I have to agree with Nancy, that last fireplace will always be easy to spot, it’s one house I will never forget.
Five…I’m slipping
That was fun…I think I got all but one!
.-= Amanda @ Serenity Now´s last blog ..Ballard Knock-Off "Hollywood" Pillows =-.
I recognized 2.
.-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday, you capture, COMFORT =-.
Even though I only recognized 3, this was still fun nonetheless. I need to watch more movies! ; )
Oh, that was so much fun!! Although I only was able to nail a few.
Dang it Julia! I only knew the last one!!
.-= Michelle @ Sweet Something´s last blog ..Springtime Mantle =-.
I got all but one, but that was because of your fabulous hints!
.-= Barbara´s last blog ..Hello world! =-.
Got all but two! These are some of my very favorite movie houses! Someday I will live in a house like the first one, oh someday. Or at the very least vacation in one.
Julia, you’re amazing. If Nester does a party recap, she will surely link to this post. What a fun quiz!
And for the record, I did a horrible job recognizing these mantels! Thank you for your hints; without them, I think I would have recognized only one! Maybe I need to get off the computer and watch a movie.
.-= Richella at Imparting Grace´s last blog ..Home is. . . =-.
Cool idea! I got most of them, but your hints definitely helped.
.-= Nichole´s last blog ..Before And After: The Green Guest Room =-.
I only guessed three, now have a couple more movies to see soon!! Thanks Julia!

.-= Bailey@peppermintbliss´s last blog ..Our First Giveaway!!! =-.
Sad to say……only 2.
#1 and #4……….and it’s only cause I had a clue.
But it was fun!

Hi Julia, wow leave it to you to come up with the most amazing post on mantels. Wow….amazing…and very stimulating! Alas our farmhouse has a wood stove and no mantel…boohoo.
But Oh the ideas for tablescaping and decorating shelves are endless! Love it.
Have a wonderful beautiful day.

I got six, but only because of the hints on three of them. Fun!
I want to live in #1 and #8!!!
.-= the BLAH BLAH BLAHger´s last blog ..Keep Books? =-.
I hardly got any of them. You can tell I can’t get my hubby to watch movies — at the theater or at home! Great post though. I love seeing all the fireplaces.
.-= Lesley @ TheDesignFile´s last blog ..Red spices up new HGTV Green Home =-.
the first one will always be the best one…but the one with 12 big trees was the first one i ever saw (of those movies of course)…
I loved that house when I saw the movie. Speaking of image #1!! So cozy and quaint. Like a warm hug. I got some of these. Of course, Williard came to mind for #2. ha.
cheers,

Oooh I got about 1/2 right that’s pretty good right?
.-= Becky @ Farmgirl Paints´s last blog ..Pillow Talk =-.
Lets just say..I could have done beter! I was more interested in the mantles then the moves that featured them. I have been tweaking my mantel for ….oh…about 25 years now!
.-= Pat´s last blog ..JUST A NOTE~ =-.
Feeling smart! Knew them all!
That was fun! I am proud to say that I knew 6 out of 8 fireplaces.I can’t choose a fave, but the cottage in The Holiday makes my heart ache. I love that movie. Cameron Diaz is so adorable. I did notice that she packed a lot of coats for someone who lives in LA. Plus, I think she only had one suitcase. Hmmmmmmm. I guess that’s what makes the movies so enjoyable. Thanks Julia
Hey will you be showing the new Sex and The City 2 on here for Carries apt? It was fabulous!! knowing you I’m sure you will. Loved the movie and can’t wait to see here if you haven’t shown already.
