Which home from the big screen would you choose to live in?

Version 0 of 1. The house that served as the Corleone family home in the The Godfather has been put up for sale with an asking price of $2.9m. The property has been a family home for decades, but the agent handling the sale said the house had recently been renovated, with some rooms made to resemble the interior from the movie. The mansion is most recognisable as the location for the Corleone wedding party. No doubt people will flock to view the Godfather house, with truly avid fans possibly lured by the chance to live in a home that’s part of cinematic history. So we want to know which home from the big screen you would choose to live in. Would you select something obvious, like the mansion that Daddy Warbucks lives in. It had 130 rooms, a Versailles dining room and enough gold leaf to impress even Joan Collins. No wonder Annie thought she’d like it there, the spoilt madam. Maybe you’d go for something a bit more alternative. Perhaps you always admired Ennis House, the Frank Lloyd Wright building in LA, which was featured in several big films including Blade Runner. It might not be a particularly family friendly home though, and you’d probably have to spend a lot of dosh to repair extensive damage and protect it from those pesky earthquakes that plague LA. Lastly, if you’re really brave/eccentric/foolish, maybe you’d choose to live in a house featured in one of the scariest films ever made. Perhaps you think you’d cope living up at the Timberline Lodge in Oregon? Yeah, that’s where The Shining was filmed. You remember – that huge hotel, set up in the isolated mountains, no help for miles? Sure, you’d have catering, and comfort and even winter sports, but could you handle the knowledge that your door could be splintered in half by a psychotic Jack Nicholson at any minute? Tell us which famous movie home you’d pick to live in. Include links to photos, and explain why you’ve picked it. We want to know your cinematic property picks. |
