apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I agree with Lucky Number Slevin. Love the walls! Some others:

- Gattaca (the house shared by Law and Hawke was gorgeous!)

- The Island (love Ewan's house)

- The Avengers (1960's British TV show; love John Steed's classic apartment)

Ooooh. K Hepburn's cute apt in Desk Set.

anything by Wes Anderson, but especially The Royal Tenenbaums (though I don't think that's his best film, it's his best in terms of production design).

TapeHeads. they have my dream crazy loft apartment all in white, which is then painted to hilarious effect by the conceptual artist love interest. i think there's a scene where pigeons roost in it?

I love that film. I made my boyfriend buy me all the retrospective books that were printed in France and in French-speaking Canada. I don't read or speak French. I just look at the pics. LOL

Let's not forget the wonderful interiors in Down with Love!

The sets for Greenaway's Pillow Book were designed by Andree Putman...

A Perfect Murder 1999 - horrid movie, awesome apartment.

gotta include Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW UP - every interior in this movie is super cool. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

Funny, I was going to post about Ingrid Bergman's apartment in Indiscrete (?) (the one with Cary Grant), and then clicked on the link and saw it has other fans. Her living room with the dozens of framed prints each with a different brightly colored mat always sticks in my mind!

The house and furnishings for The Anniversary Party were sublime, unless of course one has an allergic reaction to anything MCM.

i posted at the la link but have to say this is list that could go on and on as maxwell mentioned,
please see these two bachelor apartments walter matthau's in A NEW LEAF and vittorio's in SWEET CHARITY then compare them to ewan mcgregor's in DOWN WITH LOVE of course the all time ground breaking man pad was richard gere's in AMERICAN GIGILO

i tend to look at shows a bit more than movies.

i love the atlas rooms shown in project runway (it inspired my bedroom curtains), i love bones' apartment on bones (it inspired me to grow a bunch of bamboo for my living room), & sex and the city had some really interesting but very livable looking apts.

Lucky Number Slevin. Great, sophisticated design.

I second the Royal Tennebaums vote. And what about Woman on the Verge? I can think of so many, this would be a great party game.

I love Diane Keaton's house in As Good As It Gets. White on white on white. Love it.

I love Diane Keaton's house in Somethings Gotta Give. White on white on white. Love it.

This might be a repost...I wrote the wrong title the first time. Oops!

I commented on AT:LA yesterday, but Cache (with Juliette Binoche) has a really lovely house.

Also, it's not out yet but, from the pictures, I can't wait to see Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

I love Brenda's (Rachel Griffith's character) casual antique+MCM furnished bungalow on Six Feet Under.
Also, the swanky lounge/bar area of the Robinson's house in The Graduate.

I'm certain that I'm the only person who has a deep, abiding, even slightly obsessive admiration for the extravagantly detailed sets associated with movies starring Laura Antonelli. Imagine "The Leopard" with moments of slapstick comedy and Euro soft-core porn and you'll get some idea. A couple of Antonelli's comic-erotic films (notably "Wifemistress", which was released in 1977, and "Till Marriage Do Us Part", which was released in 1974) are set among the monied classes of Sicily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the aristocratic set decorations -- the lace, the gilt, the buttontufting -- are spectacular.

one of my favorites is celine's apartment in Before Sunset.

Barbarella and Gods and Monsters. LOVE the movie star's house in Gods and Monsters.

I also like the whole Ice Storm preppy 70s thing.

Ooh, and 2046, one of my favorite movies.

Yes, I love the Ice Storm look too.

:( The Parent Trap (original) isn't available at Netflix.

I have a thing for Edwardian London, and I love Mary Poppins.

My boyfriend says that his fantasy pad would "look like the set of 'Logan's Run.'"

My fantasy vote is for "Swiss Family Robinson."

I forgot to mention that I book that I recently came across. I was SO tempted to buy it. Sitcom Style.

Fiona, ditto on Gods and Monsters, that house is fantastic. Pretty good movie too!

I also was going to mention Indiscreet. Also there's a kind of oddball film called The Best of Everything that has some great apartments.

I really liked the apartment in "Cache". The book wall would be a welcome addition in my pad. Agree with the Ice Storm, too.

I really liked Rachel Weisz's apartment in "The Shape of Things. The use of color and pattern makes for a great boho feel, but its also perfectly cluttered and feels like somewhere a student would live.

The house and living Room in Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" and the opening scene in "Waldo's" Apartment in Laura ("it's lavish but I call it home")and of course Laura's pad...again in Laura now onto Bare Foot in the Park...

Does anyone know who painted the paintings in As Good As It gets in Diane Keaton's Hampton's house, they are pictures of woman on the beach. Thanks
