It shouldn't be a secret… I love cookies. A lot. Too much perhaps. Is that even possible? Well, if you don't love cookies, shame on you!
Meet my favorite cookie #3: Ginger cookies! (#2 is here, and #1 is here).
Spicy, chewy, pretty, yummy. The recipe I use most often is adapted from The Intimate Vegetarian. I can't seem to be consistent with how I make them though. Sometimes I add freshly grated ginger to the batter, sometimes I add twice the amount of powdered ginger, sometimes I add candied ginger, sometimes I ice them with a lime glaze… They always turn out; this is a no-fail recipe. Nice huh?
Go make these and have your own happy cookie love tonight.
Yields about one dozen medium-sized cookies
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon Ener'G Egg Replacer
1 Tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons blackstrap molasses (we all need our iron!)
1 teaspoon (more if you want a really spicy cookie) minced fresh ginger
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons powdered ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
sugar to dip the cookies in
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend the canola oil and sugar.
3. In a small ramekin, whisk the Ener'G powder with the warm water. Add the replaced egg, molasses, and vanilla to the mixer. Blend to a nice consistency. Add the fresh ginger. 4. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
5. Using a cookie scoop, make about 12 balls. Dip and gently flatten each ball in some sugar (to coat the tops of each cookie).
6. Bake for 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.
*Something to make you jealous: Up until a week ago, my oven heated to above 400 degrees no matter what the temperature was set at. It took me some time to figure out why two different batches of brownies literally boiled to a sloppy heap of funk. I think I may have shed some tears. The nice appliance man came and replaced the thermostat and now my oven works like a charm! It even has some fancy, shiny new knob! Go break your thermostat and you too can get a shiny new knob.

This morning I read my daughter a story featuring dragons, a wizard, and (inexplicably) three musketeers. While I'm typing this, my son is reading yet another volume in an ongoing saga about intelligent wolves. Fairly typical kid stuff, really. But their book choices lead me to ask again a question I've posed more than once before in different ways on Message in a Bottle: Why don't most adults include fantasy as one of the colors on their literary palette?
Almost all children are unfazed by tales of ghosts, talking animals, and magic spells, but most of us put that sort of thing aside as we age. That wasn't always the case—the folk stories collected by Aesop, Charles Perrault, and the Brothers Grimm were originally intended for a primarily adult audience, who must have found a great deal of entertainment and enlightenment in them as they were handed down over hundreds of years. It seems to have been the rise of the so-called realistic novel in the 18th and 19th centuries that pushed fantasy and adventure to the margins, as readers began to crave the kind of insight into human nature that comes from examining individual characters rather than archetypal figures.
Now, I'm a grownup who appreciates the drama of everyday life as much as the next guy, and who understands that basic human emotions are just about the most powerful forces at work in the world. I don't want my fiction populated by cardboard cutouts who wave tinfoil swords at each other while Evil Casts Its Mighty Shadow Across The Land. I also don't want to read about people who live in houses just like mine and drive cars just like I do and never confront any problem that I might not encounter on any given day. Ideally, I want a writer who can stretch my imagination and show me the unexpected, but do it in a convincing, grounded way. Fortunately, we're in something of a golden age where authors like that are concerned.
Graham Joyce is a perfect example. His most recent novel, Some Kind of Fairy Tale, kicks off with the surprising reappearance in a family's life of the daughter who vanished twenty years before. From the reactions of her emotionally withered parents, who don't seem able to cope except by treating her as the teen she was two decades earlier, to the responses of her ex-boyfriend, whose life was ruined by police suspicions, the devastating effects of her loss and the shocks induced by her return are beautifully rendered. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more potent, accurate depiction of the different ways trauma can affect those left behind. Even more unsettling, though, is the explanation for her absence that slowly emerges. Can she really have been spirited away by fairies? The girl herself admits the ridiculousness of the idea, and freely submits to the ministrations of a psychologist, but why would she invent such a story? And why does she seem so much younger than she should? It would be more of a crime than usual to spoil a plot such as this, but suffice it to say that the impossible comes to seem merely implausible, and perhaps even inevitable, as Joyce spins out his pages. Whether the answers are ultimately realistic or fantastical doesn't matter by the end, since every character's every action is so believable.
Joyce's prior novel, The Silent Land, is a similar combination of truth and mystery that I think is even better. In it, a married couple takes a ski vacation in France and gets caught up in an avalanche. When they struggle off the mountain and back to their lodge, they find the town completely depopulated. As they await rescue after this apparent evacuation, strange events occur that call their entire lives into question. The suspense of their situation is formidable, but what makes the book work as well as it does is the portrait of the marriage at its heart. Joyce hasn't created this pair simply to put them through the wringer of his plot, he's done the reverse and engineered events to illuminate their humanity. There's a real sense of history that the two share, and the imperfections they reveal make their relationship all the richer. An extreme scenario such as this is exactly what is meant by the phrase "a test of character," and reading The Silent Land even in the heat of summer, you'll feel the chill of their crisis because of the warmth they share.
Joyce is not alone in his ability to balance reality and fantasy, of course. The most famous name in this category is probably Stephen King, whose finest work has this quality in spades, but there's also Jonathan Carroll, whose directness and simplicity lend his fiction authority even when he's at his most bizarre, describing talking dogs who help save the world from apocalypse. He's like a guy on the next bar stool who tells unbelievable yarns—you know they can't be true, but his details are specific and his grasp of human behavior is strong, and he doesn't seem to care whether you're impressed or not, so maybe they're true after all? One seat over in that same saloon, you might find Jeffrey Ford, author of The Shadow Year and the forthcoming story collection Crackpot Palace, who has an equally wild imagination and an equally assured, no-bull tone. The very best of the lot, though, may be Kelly Link, whose collections Stranger Things Happen, Magic for Beginners, and Pretty Monsters are must reading for anyone who wants to see how psychological acuity and flights of fancy can come together in marvelously productive ways. She'll be appearing in Seattle on July 17th as part of the Clarion West Writers Workshop, helping to nurture the next generation of creative cross-genre authors. Go see her if you can.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob S Light comfortable shoe I typically wear size 11 in sneakers and this shoe in an 11 fit just perfect. I feels a bit tighter in the heel than the toe box but I find that to be very comfortable. I have worn the shoe for walking - up to 6 hours and didn't have any negative experiences. I have not run in the shoe but sense a small bit of "pinching" from the sides where the shoe bends around the toe-joint area. Not horrible but the outer material is a bit stiffer as the shoe is waterproof. (I have not had the shoe wet in any way however) Overall the shoe is light and comfortable and seems very versatile for either trail or street. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by david the whyteone Great Service and Price and product made the sale I'm familiar with Merrell - nice solid product. A move up from my slipon. Clerk was helpful with size and fit. Good stuff always on sale at Dicks. Was able to use my Dicksbucks from my backpack purchase - so I'm ready to hike. October 9, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShoelessJoe Lightweight and Comfortable Was looking for a waterproof, lightweight shoe. Fits the bill. Might get hot while running in warm weather. Got it on sale too. September 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by TheNatural Comfortable shoe lightweight sole came apart not worth the price Like the shoe just doesn't hold up the running or hiking. I bought a pair and sole started to peal days after. I exchanged them and got a new pair hoping it was just a defect. My brother bought same pair and now both of ours are pealing apart again. We will be returning them. I expected way better quality out of a 125 dollar performance hiking shoe. August 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Forrest Poor design They are horrible returning the second pair tomorrow. The sole starts to let go after 4 days yes 4 days twice!!! June 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dwight 1 The shoe is very light weight and comfortable. I have two pairs of this shoe. I wear them almost everyday because of the comfort and look. May 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by BW Poor Fit Love the styling but the fit was off. Wore a half day to the office, had to take them of as the right shoe caused pain in the sole of my foot. Returned them. May 22, 2013

A tribute to the Cascades and awash in color, this necklace is a showstopper. Pulled together with sterling silver endcaps, the three strands in this necklace have varying patterns of beads and gemstones. The vibrant mix of round, oval and melon-shaped gemstones of white agate, green chrysoprase, blue turquoise and purplish-pink phosphosiderite are interspersed with highly polished sterling silver heishi beads. Worn alone or with your favorite pendant or enhancer, this stunning necklace makes a statement. Measures 17" long, adjustable to 21" long with a lobster claw clasp. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
As crisp, snowcapped mountain peaks rise majestically on the horizon, the crystal clear waves of the Puget Sound give a warm welcome to vibrant spring wildflowers. This sterling collection symbolizes the inherent beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

We're giving away this next item featured in our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide, and it's a product that we weren't even sure we'd like at first, Take a look at the Shenzhen Knives White Ceramic 6-inch Chef's Knife. When we first looked at it, we thought it was gonna be a cheap, dull knife unworthy of any further attention. We were very, very wrong. In fact, it's become my daily go-to kitchen knife. The sharpness of the blade is more than capable of handling meats, hard fruits and vegetables, as well as softer items as well. Since it's ceramic, it stays sharper than a steel knife, and holds its edge longer. It also won't rust, and is resistant to acids, germs, and oils. The best part, though, is that they aren't even that expensive. You can get this knife on Amazon for $25.
Seriously, I've been using this knife almost exclusively for all my cooking over the past couple of weeks, and it has yet to let me down.
Okay, now on to the details of the giveaway. We've got a Shenzhen 6-inch White Ceramic Chef's Knife to give away,

Go forth, brave Jedi warriors, and use your chop sabers to mix just a little extra wasabi into your soy sauce. You can handle it. It is a known fact that eating sushi with chop sabers vastly strengthens your ability to ingest horseradish products. (By the way, did you know that researchers are trying to make a smoke alarm for the deaf using wasabi vapors? We're debating whether it would be more annoying to wake up to the sound of a fire alarm or the punch in the nose that only wasabi brings. What do you think?) Either way, wield your weapons and ready the way for a truly epic eating experience. You can get a pair of Chop Sabers for $9.99 (a 23% discount!)

ALONSO QUINONEZ, MY SUMMER SLEW, Winner: "I tried to stay close to (Unzip Me) because I thought if I let her go too easy I wouldn't be able to catch her. It worked out perfect. When (Joe Talamo) asked her, she kind of opened up a length and a half at the quarter pole but mine was really comfortable. Turning for home, when he switched leads he was home. He runs well anywhere. Good horses can run dirt, grass or anything."
JOE TALAMO, UNZIP ME, Third: "I thought she ran great considering she was running against boys for the first time. It was a pretty tough race on paper but I thought she ran terrific. She got the lead and started relaxing after that. The winner was pressing her the whole way, but she fought the whole way and ran great. It's just that they ran so fast (1:08.40). That's pretty quick.''
CRAIG DOLLASE, MY SUMMER SLEW, Winner: "He's pretty versatile. He's run great on both surfaces but turf is probably what he likes most. He's an incredible horse. They really came home fast. He's the real deal. I'm so excited for Nick (Cafarchia). He bred this horse and it's nice to win a stakes for him. The instructions were to sit off the filly and pounce when we could. We'll sit down and figure out what to do next. He's proven he can run with some of the better horses. I hope we'll have some fun with him at Del Mar."

Contentment Quotes, Sayings about Satisfaction
Wishing things were different is a great way to torture yourself.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
My to-do list for today:
– Count my blessings
– Practice kindness
– Let go of what I can't control
– Listen to my heart
– Be productive yet calm
– Just breathe
Stop looking for reasons to be unhappy. Focus on the things you do have, and the reasons you should be happy.
Always appreciate what you have. There is always someone out there who wishes that had what you have.
Today, I will look around & enjoy all the beautiful things that are around me rather than yearn for things that are beyond my control & become miserable.
A man may be happy anywhere that knows how to be contented.
– Wellins Calcott
Life is not hard, it's us making it hard, because we want more than what we deserve.
Instead of focusing on what's missing, learn to appreciate what's there.
There are two ways to get enough.
One is to to continue to accumulate more and more.
The other is to desire less.
– G.K. Chesterton
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
I complained to God about having a husky voice,
Then I remembered about the deaf one.
Be contented.
Wealth is not in vast riches but wealth is in self-contentment.
Life is better if you are satisfied and happy with what you do and what you have.
– Dr T.P.Chia
Better to be happy with the cod fish in your plate now, than to linger for the taste of a tuna that is still swimming in the sea.
The best may come the best may leave, you do not know the best unless you know what you already have.
If you can't be a superstar, be a star.
Sometimes the greenest grass is right beneath your feet.
God give me nothing I wanted. He gave me everything I needed.
Life is like a deck of cards, you get what you're given. Be satisfied, nobody knows who you really are till you show your hand.
It's useless, wasting time thinking about what you don't have.
People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had. Or what others have.
People are always looking for more and forget about what they already have.
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
– Frederick Keonig

RLI issue 282: Pre-pub of "The State of Large-Publisher Bundles in 2012"
image © thebittenword.comARL has released a pre-publication version of an article on "The State of Large-Publisher Bundles in 2012," which will be featured in the forthcoming Research Library Issues no. 282 (Spring 2013).
Highlights from E-Science Working Group survey of 52 member libraries. Presented at the 155th ARL Membership Meeting, October 2009.
These talking points provide a complement to ARL's statement on "The University's Role in the Dissemination of Research and Scholarship."
Proceedings of the 152nd ARL Membership Meeting, May 2008.
To foster a deeper understanding of an emerging research library role as publishing service provider, in late 2007 the Association of Research Libraries surveyed its membership to gather data on the publishing services they were providing. Following the survey, publishing program managers at ten institutions participated in semi-structured interviews to delve more deeply into several aspects of service development: the sources and motivations for service launch, the range of publishing services, and relationships with partners.

WICHITA — Bryce Kuhn is a familiar face to many Wichita diners from working for others at a number of restaurants here. Now, he's going to have a place of his own in the space that Shorty Small's left at the Westlake Retail Center at 119th and Maple.
"I've always loved the west side," Kuhn says. "My heart's over here."
He's opening Twelve Restaurant & Bar, which he describes as an American grill, in June.
"Twelve has been my favorite number since I was about 5 or 6 years old."
Kuhn's first basketball jersey was No. 12.
"It stuck with me."
Also, he says 2012 "was pretty much my best year ever."
Kuhn married last year, bought a house and found out he was going to become a father.
After a career traveling to various cities with Houston's restaurants, Kuhn returned to Wichita to work for several restaurants here, including Bonefish Grill, YaYa's Eurobistro, Newport Grill and the Lakeside Club most recently.
Kuhn plans for Twelve to be "upscale casual."
"We want to give people an upscale dining experience, but we don't want to make them feel like they're paying an arm and a leg to have a nice night out on the town."
The restaurant, which will have seating for about 150 and another 25 on the patio, will serve dishes such as hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood and roasted chicken along with sandwiches and salads.

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
On behalf of U.S. Embassy's United States Agency for International Development USAID/Philippines), it is my honor to be here with all of you this evening. The province of Bohol has a special place in the development work of USAID/Philippines. We have worked together for decades to accelerate Bohol's economy and transform this historical region from a conflict area to become one of the Philippines' prime ecotourism destinations.
It is an honor to be here today on behalf of the U.S. Embassy Manila's United States Agency for International Development. I am pleased to have had the opportunity earlier to witness the training for teachers of out-of-school youth conducted through our partnership with the U.S. Peace Corps-Philippines.
Padayon Mindanao continues Peace Corps' legacy of cross-cultural learning among PC Volunteers, teachers and youth. Youth, especially those from conflict-affected areas, are given the opportunity to develop leadership and other life skills in order to contribute to sustained peace and development in their communities.
On behalf of the U.S. Embassy-Manila's United States International Agency for Development (USAID), I thank you for the privilege to join you today as we recognize the accomplishment of the first batch of C4C graduates.
USAID supports the Philippine Government's work in enhancing the public sector's communication expertise to improve the health of the nation, especially in the areas of maternal and child health, family planning, TB, and HIV/AIDS.
Over the past decade Vietnam has experienced exponential economic growth. While this is an enviable position to be in, I understand there are serious concerns as to how the country is going to fuel this rapid expansion. By implementing a robust program to promote energy efficiency, the Ministry of Construction can have a meaningful effect on national rates of energy consumption and save significant amounts in power production to boost energy security. Another significant impact is the lowering of growth in greenhouse gas emissions.
We honor the sacrifices of these diplomatic and development colleagues, whose quiet, often unheralded work to save lives and advance human dignity represented the best of our American values to the world. They have advanced these values in some of the toughest corners of the world through our long-term quest to end hunger and child death; strengthen peace and security; and provide help when disaster strikes. This mission serves as the forward defense of our nation. It keeps us safe; it keeps us prosperous. And we honor the names on the walls of both our institutions whose courage in this service knew no bounds.
First, I want to congratulate Dr. Ludeki Chweya on his recent appointment as Director General of the Kenya School of Government.
Last year, the Kenya School of Government and USAID partnered to bring a program on Investment Appraisal that received a strong support and commitment from Ministry of Devolution and Planning, Ministry of Finance, Treasury, and other key Government of Kenya entities.
On behalf of the U.S. Government, I thank you for the privilege to join you today as we renew a noble promise. In 1990, the Philippines, along with 175 countries around the globe, pledged at the World Summit for Child Survival and Development to save women and children from dying of preventable causes. Since then, the Philippines has made significant progress to reduce child mortality. From 1998 to 2011, deaths among children under the age of 5 decreased from 48 for every 1,000 live births to 30.
Now, four years ago, the QDDR provided the strategic foundation to answer President Obama's call to transform USAID into a modern development enterprise. With direction from the QDDR, we implemented a suite of ambitious reforms that have changed the way we do business around the world. And I'm not going to reiterate the full list of those actions taken or steps forward, but I would note that today you can download an app on your iPhone and pull up hundreds of rigorous, high-quality programmatic evaluations that demonstrates that development and the execution of development cooperation is, in fact, a discipline that needs to be informed by evidence, data, excellence, and delivering real, concrete results.
It is a pleasure to see you all here today and thank you for coming to the closing event of USAID's TransACTION project. I am also pleased to have this opportunity to share a few thoughts on our partnership in the fight against HIV and AIDS and what we have accomplished with the project. TransACTION was USAID's flagship project—funded by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)—for HIV prevention here in Ethiopia. The project has been working hard to prevent new HIV and sexually transmitted infections and to strengthen linkages to care and support services in 119 towns. It has largely been successful in doing so.
-As prepared-
Good morning!
Honorable Felix Koskei, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries; Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen.

If you haven't tried it, Turntable.fm is a multiplatform music-streaming service that's made up of different user-created "listening rooms." You can wander through rooms and soak up the different genres, create your own rooms, or even take a turn spinning your own playlists (via MediaNet's catalog) while other listeners vote (up or down) on your song choices. Turntable.fm offers a completely unique way of discovering music, different from Pandora's or Grooveshark's.
To get started, create an account, and start browsing through listening rooms. On the main menu screen, you can search for a room by name, or browse through popular rooms, favorites, or only those with empty DJ seats. Before entering, you can see how many listeners are in each room, but you can't see a full room description. This makes it difficult to quickly browse, as you actually have to enter rooms to get a feel for their music.

Cinema Style: 20 Unforgettable American Movie Interiors
I love movies, all kinds of movies: historical, thought-provoking, independent, and even simply entertaining, films. But I especially love movies with great design! Some of these are fantastic, Oscar-nominated movies; some are quirky all-time favorites; and some are most significant for their style contribution. Each makes its own unique contribution to the American cinematic canon...
First Row:
• Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) According to biographer Donald Spoto, "Hepburn as Holly, carrying an oversized cigarette holder, is considered one of the most iconic images of 20th century American cinema." With that in mind, it's not surprising that the film itself oozes style, from Hepburn's infamous little black dress to her oversized sunglasses and form her bathtub sofa to her "go-lightly" lifestyle. Today, it's as notable for its depiction of the "lush" life of Manhattan's social set as it is for its ill-conceived casting of Mickey Rooney as Holly's Japanese landlord.
• Something's Gotta Give (2003) It goes without saying that the interiors of the oft-pictured Hamptons house in this film are amazing. Yet, for me, the greatest contribution this film has made to movie history has to do with the manner in which it engaged its sophisticated, aging baby boomer audience. I can still hear my mom and her best friend's hysterical laughter as they watched this movie for the first time together. Now, these were actors and issues they could relate to!
• Pillow Talk (1959) A Kodachrome confection of a film, Pillow Talk's Oscar-nominated interiors are almost enough to distract you from the not-so-subtle innuendos now synonymous with the "sex comedies" of the early Sixties. It was released in 1959, when the film censors were beginning to loosen their grip on morality in art and "good girl" Doris Day was on her way to becoming every girl's modern heroine. As is the case with many films made during this time, gender politics provide a loaded subtext.
• A Single Man (2009) Some films are stylish. Some films have style. In this film, style plays such a large role it has its own trailer. After all, the director is legendary fashion designer Tom Ford and the production design is by the geniuses behind Mad Men. Add a stunning John Lautner house as the backdrop, and mediocrity never had a chance. In fact, there's so much style in this film, you might almost miss the superb acting of its carefully-chosen cast. Which would be a shame, because that's where the elegance of this piece really shines through.
• Gone with the Wind (1939) A no-holds-barred, sweeping Hollywood epic that in many ways set the bar for stylish sagas to come. The line "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" has been voted the most memorable line in cinema history, and the AFI has ranked the film #2 on their list of greatest romances of all time. Hattie McDaniel also became the first black American to win an Academy Award for her role in the film. And, while the film has since been maligned for its portrayal of the slave experience, there's no denying the impact, good or bad, that it has had on America's collective awareness of the Civil War.
Second Row:
• Auntie Mame (1958) Based on the book and play by the same name, Auntie Mame (the film) evokes the grab-life-with-both-hands mentality espoused by its lead character, the mercurial, bohemian Mame Dennis. She's a woman who's ahead of her time, poised on the precipice between the propriety of the Fifties and the free love of the Sixties. The stylistic gymnastics of her home alone are worth every viewing minute.
• It's Complicated (2009) One of the most recently coveted houses on film comes from a designing director, Nancy Meyers, and the creative team behind Something's Gotta Give. Like that film, this movie's stellar cast speaks to the baby boomer generation, though not quite as successfully. The real star in this film is the protagonist's location, lifestyle and home décor. Her 1920's Spanish-style home, nestled in the Santa Barbara hills, stirs the imagination and invites one to escape to the idylls of indoor/outdoor living, a place where John Krasinski is your charming son-in-law to-be, chocolate croissants are whipped up on the fly and charcoal claw foot tubs are the norm. With all that, who cares if it's complicated??
• Chinatown (1974) As a neo-noir depiction of the great water battle of Los Angeles, Chinatown hits all the right marks. Screenplay? Check. Acting? Check. Set design? Check. As a director, Roman Polanski may have a checkered past, but here he gets everything right. Chinatown's grittiness and style pays homage to forties noir films while serving as inspiration for a whole new generation of noir. (It doesn't hurt the film's authenticity to have John Huston, director of the Maltese Falcon, playing a seemingly benign villain, either). Without water, Los Angeles wouldn't exist. Without this film, there would be a hole in the fabric of stylish cinema.
• The Graduate (1967) What makes this movie so much more than a comedic drama is the way in which it engaged an entire generation of dissatisfied young adults who were, like the titular hero, adrift in a pool of uncertainty. The time was 1967, and American youth were torn between adhering to a status quo promoted by the corporate establishment and their anger and disillusionment at the escalating conflict in Vietnam. The film features tons of stylish interiors (the enclosed patio with bar springs instantly to mind), but it's the stunning visual snapshots employed by avant-garde director, Mike Nichols, that make it so memorable.
• You've Got Mail (1998) The Upper West Side is as much a character in this film as Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox. And Meg Ryan's home left all of us believing that we, too, could live very comfortably in a New York studio apartment. As inviting as these interiors are though, this is ultimately a movie that perfectly captures the early excitement of email technology and the duality of our online and real world existences.
Third Row:
• Rosemary's Baby (1968) Actresses such as Tuesday Weld and Sharon Tate were originally considered for the role of Rosemary, but it is Mia Farrow's waif-like naiveté that makes this movie so chilling. An adorable pixie haircut, cheery shift dresses and the storied Dakota building turn what could have been just another horror flick into a stylishly haunting classic.
• North By Northwest (1959)
Of this film, Time Out London said, "Fifty years on, you could say that Hitchcock's sleek, wry, paranoid thriller caught the zeitgeist perfectly: Cold War shadiness, secret agents of power, urbane modernism, the ant-like bustle of city life, and a hint of dread behind the sharp suits of affluence." This is a film swimming in style, from Grant's well-cut suits to Eva Marie Saint's Bergdorf Goodman wardrobe to the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Vandamm house perched atop Mount Rushmore. Aspirational to the end, every inch of this film was created to underscore the idea that wealth is irrelevant in the face of danger.
• The Fountainhead (1949) One would be hard-pressed to find a work that so completely represents the idea of the modern architect. Based on the book by the same name, The Fountainhead captures the early resistance to modernism in America, delving into issues of individuality and conformism within the field of architecture, and highlighting an archetype of the future: the starchitect. Its ideas, that the individual is "of supreme value," "the fountainhead of creativity," and that "selfishness, properly understood, is a virtue," have resonated with generations of young people and have inspired the careers of numerous architects.
• Down with Love (2003) An homage to the previously mentioned Doris Day and Rock Hudson sex-comedies, Down with Love is most celebrated for its style and cotton-candy depiction of an era just before the sexual revolution. Its set designs are "deliberately fake" and meant to look not like early-sixties New York but, rather, a Hollywood version of early-sixties New York. Color and scale are exaggerated, with the intent to make design a larger-than-life character in the film. The result is an entertaining comedic romp with loads of saturated style.
• Edward Scissorhands (1990) A fairy tale that is by turns funny, dark, touching and wistful, Edward Scissorhands was conceived by Tim Burton, and represents the director's sense of alienation growing up in suburban Southern California. Color and form play significant roles in this imaginative film, in which tract homes are dressed in faded pastels and loneliness is cast as a darkened Gothic castle. Lively topiaries and ice sculptures lend magic to a world of almost stifling sameness. Suburbia hasn't been seen in the same light since.
Forth Row:
• The Best of Everything (1959) Little more than a glorified soap opera, The Best of Everything is most notable for its depiction of mid-century life and style. With its typing pool, corner offices and corporate ladder firmly in place, the life of the single career girl is explored and exposed. It's a small film with a large impact, ultimately inspiring popular successors such as Mad Men and Sex and the City.
• Sex and the City 2 (2010) Without a doubt the worst installment of the Sex and the City franchise, this film escapes pure rottenness only because of its décor. As Carrie says in the movie, "I've been cheating on fashion with furniture" - and it shows. Tremendous effort was made to design a space that would reflect the combined residence of Mr. & Mrs. Big: the scale, the fabrics, colors and accessories were all chosen to represent the individuals that inhabit the space. There's even been an update to Carrie's iconic studio apartment, proof that, like it or not, time has indeed marched on.
• The Parent Trap (1961)
One of the most memorable children's films ever made, The Parent Trap especially struck a chord with children of divorced parents. The idea that a child could somehow repair her broken home was appealing to those in a similar situation, and many were captivated by the determined twins' hijinks and shenanigans. Style-wise, the film wooed viewers with Mitch's magnificent ranch house and the glorious indoor/outdoor lifestyle for which California is famous.
• The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Inspired by J. D. Salinger's Glass family stories and Orson Welles' film The Magnificent Ambersons, The Royal Tenenbaums is American cinema at its quirky best. The lives of the sibling prodigies provide fodder for decor rife with eccentricity and whimsy, and have resulted in some of the most remarkable interiors of recent memory. Zebra wallpaper? Ballrooms? Darkrooms? Libraries? Tents? These are things design dreams are made of! (Director Wes Anderson even had his brother Eric sketch out his ideas, so he wouldn't forget them once it came time to design the sets).
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) A science-fiction film of epic proportions, 2001: A Space Odyssey would go on to influence filmmaking giants such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, not to mention numerous special effects technicians. Its themes cover human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, extraterrestrial life and surrealism: an extreme scope that even extends to the parameters of design. Note the Djinn chairs that litter the lounge of Space Station Five and the way in which old and new collide in the Renaissance Room to startling effect. One need only look as far as the Hudson Hotel bar or "Safehouse" in Tron Legacy to see that the legacy of this space odyssey lives on...

Great post! A personal contribution "Paris When It Sizzles"
The movie is a little tough to get through, but the stunning apartment and views make up for it!
My favorite movie interior is from Indiscreet with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. Love the London apartment!
I know, I know...you are going to get a ton of comments telling you which movies you missed. So let me be the first; The Party with Peter Sellers-talk about psychedelic-Groovy Baby!! I want that house! And hilarious movies to boot! Thanks you for post-I do love it and now I have some new movies to add to my list of great classics to watch!
Fantastic stuff! Auntie Mame will always be my favorite...
My favorite is 'Out of Africa' for many reasons.
How about two completely opposite bedrooms from the 80's - Ferris Bueller and his buddy Cameron Frye? Ferris' room had all the clutter and cool, while Cameron's room was sophisticated and minimalist. Loved the juxtaposition of the rooms and how they fit the characters.
I second the vote for Indiscreet!
You have to remember the great 80s interiors! Ruthless People and Wall Street are pretty amazing!
Three of my favorites made the list...but I also love the house in "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" and the apartment in "John and Mary"...
How about Grey Gardens (the original)?
Auntie Mame!! I LOVE it :) :) Legends of the Fall's gorgeous interiors are worth checking out, the mansion and the lodge, just wonderful. (SAD film though but very good)
i'm soo surprised "Something's Gotta Give" didn't make the cut...who wouldn't die to live in either of those two rambling apartments!! omg, soo fabulicious!!
How about this famous movie interior?
name that movie....
ooops, i meant the other Jack Nicholson flick..."As Good As It Gets"...sorry!
Mine is "Shoot the Moon" 1982 - gorgeous big old farmhouse in Marin County. My dream locale, but definitely not my dream life. I'll always remember Diane Keaton taking a bath singing "If I Fell". At least, I think that's what I remember.
LOVE Auntie Mame!
Personal favorite: Practical Magic. The house was practically a character in the film.
"... in which track homes are dressed in.."
I think you mean "tract" homes.
Cool. But, I always loved the look of "Interiors."
PHW, the image at your line reminds me of Clockwork Orange.
I just opened the link to make sure Pillow Talk was included! I saw it in my tween's, and vividly remember the scene about Rock Hudson's apartment makeover.
Thanks for this post.
Oops. Typo. That shoulda read "link," not "line."
I have watched 'What Lies Beneath' at least 5 times to check out the awesomely unique wall colors.
The Apartment with Jack Lemmon & Shirley MacLaine! Bachelor living at it's best, and probably the only movie where an apartment is the main character.
PHW - I believe thats from American Psycho? I went to see that on a first date...it should never be a first date movie.
Yep. I was wrong. It's American Psycho. GREAT room!
Also, the most memorable interior for me (besides all Wes Anderson flicks) is Lisa Bonet's apartment in High Fidelity. So great.
You typoed IMDb a lot!
I would like to add "Sleepless in Seattle", to the above (which I totally agree with, especially "Somethings Gotta Give") which features not one by TWO great houses - one a vintage little apartment with antique stove, the other a modern houseboat in Washington, all open floorplan and open water.
And, along the lines of Edward Scissorhands, is Hogwarts Castle of Harry Potter fame.
OK, one more, because threes the charm - who didnt just adore the all-white and ominous apartment in "Fatal Attraction", contrasted with the homey family apartment?
I love this post! Some movies I've referenced interiors of...
Lucky Number Slevin - amazing wallpaper
Failure to Launch
Because I Said So
Le Divorce (for the clothes too)
High Fidelity
About A Boy
Doris Day and Rock Hudson's house in Send Me No Flowers!
Rear Window
love this! Youve got mail and somethings gotta give, great choices!
Awesome! Must include a Pixar film... Toy Story?
Cache-a French film starring Juliette Binoche
did a great job with set decoration..
love the bach pad in About A Boy..
nice post indeed!!! you should also check out Because I Said So. love mandy moore's loft in that movie!!
Love your list! Know it's hard to narrow down to only 20. I've been fascinated by the Dakota since I 1st watched Rosemary's Baby. I adore the house in The Royal Tenenbaums and think all Hitchcock film sets are fabulous!! I would have to include Marie Antoinette in my list for it's candy colors and unabashed celebration of excess :)
Oh and I agree w-"Herrington 44" above- that home in Cache is wonderful!
I'm not so into the Nancy Meyers look, myself. I second the votes for John's apartment in John and Mary and Jimmy Stewart's apartment in Rear Window. Also, I love Woody Allen movie interiors. I also remember liking the apartment in Green Card (and the garden!).
American movies-
The Shining- Room 237...ba bah gah!
It's A Wonderful Life- the old house they throw stones at.
Suddenly Last Summer- Katherine Hepburn and Liz Taylor
Great Expectations with Ethan Hawke and G Paltrow...so green, so Florida! Ann Bancroft as Miss Havisham.
Barefoot in the Park. I've been in apartments that looked like that.
@ilspeth - I agree! Definitely the home from Practical Magic. Love, love, love that kitchen!
How about Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." Loved the Brenner's house as well as Annie Hayworth's (Suzanne Pleshette's).
"Hes just not that into you" had some amazing lofts in it! The movie wasnt that great but everybodys apartment was!
I was expecting to see Practical Magic on this list!! That house, the whole setting really, is so gorgeous. I first saw that movie when I was probably 7 or so, I fell in LOVE with that house, it just makes me so sad that I will probably never live in a place as beautiful as that.
Agree! My vote is for "Indiscreet." Bergman's apartment with that awesome print wall in the living area is the stuff of dreams. The panoramic city views from her kitchen table is breath-taking and Cary Grant makes a wonderful accessory.
Let's not forget, in no particular order:
The sheer lunatic kitschiness of the haunted house in "Beetlejuice" after the "decorators" got through with it.
The seaside Italian villa in "Dodsworth," occupied by the beautiful Mary Astor.
The Upper East Side apartment in "The Awful Truth," a great screwball comedy with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
Stewart Little
Here are wonderful images of Andie MacDowell's NY apartment in the otherwise forgettable 1990 film "Green Card"......
Kate Winslet's english cottage in "The Holiday".
Barbara Bel Gedde's studio in Vertigo...Naomi Watt's borrowed apartment in Mulholland Drive...and any of the spaces in Hannah and Her Sisters. Also, the NY loft in Cruising is classic late 70's urban bohemian style, and almost redeems the entire decade interior style-wise. I still covet it so many years later.
Where is Pedro Almodovar on this list? Almost every interior in every film is brilliant.
I'd add The War of the Roses with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. The whole movie is about building and decorating a gorgeous house and then destroying it when the marriage falls apart.
Yes to Out of Africa! Also, Three Men and a Baby, A Perfect Murder (which has three - plus all that art!) and Match Point. Luscious houses, all!
Great post!!!! I love every single one of them! And would add Amelie's apartment.
Glad you added the parent trap!
I do not recall a pool or formal dining room in Somethings Gotta Give...... but LOVED the perfect beachy Hamptons feel of that house!!
The Apartment
Although I hated the film, I loved Mandy Moore's warm and spicy, yet homey studio in "Because I Said So".
That red velvet chesterfield couch is to die for!
I submit for your perusal The Philadelphia Story, 1939, Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Snappiest dialogue ever and awesome, old school, Main Line interiors. The cabanas by the pool! My, she was yar...
Ooops, sorry, 1940 for The Philadelphia Story.
1) "Single White Female" - aaah to be back on the upper west side again;
2) Woody Allen's "September";
3) "Must Love Dogs" -
4) also loved "Stepmother"?? (with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts)
5) I am probably the only one who saw 'The 4th Floor" with Juliette Lewis/William Hurt!
i'd add: benny and joon, citizen kane, bladerunner, and metropolis
I was going to say the home of Will Smith's character in I am Legend. I also agree with all the Fatal Attraction homes.
Because I Said So (which is not a studio)
Sundays in New York
Sweet November
The Guitar
Desperately Seeking Susan
Uptown Girls
Before Sunset
...so many more
These are great! ...Perhaps Great Expectations (1998)?
Joan Crawford's bathroom in The Women!
Ooooh, I love this post. Great picks. The house in "It's Complicated" has been on favorites since I saw it. Loved that you thought so too.
Auntie Mame is one of my all time faves!
My other choices would be:
Rebecca - Mandalay was a character all its own.
A Room With A View
The Age of Innocence
The Women
Gosford Park
Wings of the Dove
Sense and Sensibility
The Philadelphia Story
The Cell
Married to the Mob (so 80's!!)
and there are so many more...
It was not even just the rooms, the costumes in a lot of these gave me wardrobe envy big time.
What about Bladerunner?! Neon, mechanical bears and awesome mood lighting. That's my design inspiration!
I love that someone saw American Psycho as a first date. And I love Auntie Mame...
There needs to be the addition of the NYC apartments in Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Manhattan.
I have to add Hannah and Her Sisters---Woody's double-height apartment, the soho loft, Hannah's rambling 5th ave apartment. OMG, I would take any of them!
The Philadelphia Story is my all-time favorite movie, def agree with that.
I'd also add Gilda.
I agree with everyone who wants to add Woody Allen's "Interiors" and would also suggest "Gods & Monsters".
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day!
Love these small cool girlie studios:
- P.S. I love you
- 27 Dresses
Love the post!
Tron Legacy..... Sam Flynn's waterfront Loft/Studio (complete with Fireorb fireplace) and his dad Kevin Flynn's "safehouse" withing the computer grid, evoking 2001: A Space Odyssey. The city within the grid is beautiful as well, and director Joseph Kosinski's architectural roots are very clearly on display here.
Great post, and even better with the added comments.
YES, beesee...I came here to say Single White Female.
That building makes my heart ache. I want to look at EVERY nook and cranny in it.
I want Babara Novak's apartment in Down withe Love!
A Clockwork Orange! The Korova Milkbar ... Alex's bedroom ...
Boogie Nights, especially Mark Whalberg's bedroom before he becomes Dirk Diggler.
"The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom" for its riotous Technicolor designs and "L.A. Confidential" for its cool noir designs.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! I LOVE THIS POST! Thank you. I was JUST having this conversation over lunch with a friend about how I often get inspired from movie set interiors. And my most favorite two made your list..."Something's Gotta Give" and "It's Complicated." I can't wait to check out the others. Best post in a while! Thank you!
Rosemary's Baby hands down. I adore that kitchen ...
runswithscissors got it right with Stuart Little. Loved that house, could hardly pay attention to the movie.
surprised I had to go so far though the comments before someone mentioned the apartment from Amelie!
Loved the house in Housesitter 1992 with Goldie Hawn, Steve Martin.
I find I am always noticing the architecture and interior design in TV & movies, even if the story goes nowhere. I also love the loft & building where Neal lives in White Collar on USA Network.
I would love though, if anyone knows, where I can get a copy of the Chrysler Building painting from the show that Neal supposedly painted? Or even a really good straight on shot of the painting so I can do my own. :)
Blade Runner is my all time favourite. What's not to love about Frank Lloyd Wright's "Ennis-Brown" house? Then there's 'Unfaithful' with the amazing loft and the house in the country.
This post would have been so much better if you'd taken the time to acknowledge the numerous sources on this subject you have so clearly ripped off to create this post.
Gorgeous choices! My absolute favorite movie interior is the Gates' home in Blue Hawaii. Such a dream of mid modern opulence, open the sea with Diamond Head in the background.
The Breakup and Gods and Monsters.
What about Butterfield 8 and Cameron's house in Ferris Bueller? And Rosemary's Baby? (The furniture wasn't that amazing, but the apartment was.)
Sorry, missed that you had Rosemary's Baby! But if we can talk TV, all the houses on Modern Family.
BIGGER PICTURES, please! Lovely...
I love both the movie and the interior shown in "Rear Window" (Hitchcock, 1954)
Awesome post. When I saw the title I said to myself, "I hope Auntie Mame is on there!" And it is! I remember watching it as a child and realizing for the first time that film sets, when done correctly, are really characters. In this case, the set was Mame's avatar, changing with every stage of her life. So great.
Second those above who said "Match Point," "Gosford Park," "Room with a View" and "Out of Africa." Also: "An Education"!
I remember the NYC apartment in 'Deceived' that Goldie Hawn & John Heard's characters lived in; it was huge, gorgeous, and a bit creepy.
so glad Royal Tenenbaums is on here - but would have loved to have seen the Life Aquatic instead, all those different rooms are so rad.
also a vote in for the 5th Element, although it's not "American," those apartments were great.
Daddy Long Legs.
Farenheit 451 ( the François Truffaut version)
Playtime (Jacques Tati)
Auntie Mame and Plilow Talk are my very favorites, but for years I've remembered the beautiful Martha's Vinyard home in A Summer Place.
Is 2001: A Space Odyssey an American film? It was shot in the UK. I do think it has the best interiors ever designed for film. Hard to believe shooting began at the end of 1965. Kubrick and his designers were far, far ahead of their time - in Hollywood, Star Trek had just gone into production. It looks like a cartoon in comparison.
Also glad to see Down With Love made the list - best interiors in an American film in many, many years. So much fun. I'd have to add to the list:
9 1/2 Weeks
Fatal Attraction - Both perfect depictions of the kind of cold East Coast styles which dominated the early '80s.
American Gigolo - Same deal, for the West Coast.
Blade Runner - Iconic. Can't believe it didn't make your list.
Beetlejuice - Style (hideous, poor style) plays an enormous role in this one.
The Empire Strikes Back - Notable for the deco-fest that is Cloud City on Bespin.
Vertigo - It may not be as flashy as North by Northwest, but the interior design arguably plays a more important role in this Hitchcock classic.
Funny Face - Think pink, people!
Butterfield 8
The Wizard of Oz - For the films of 1939, I'd give this one the nod over Gone With The Wind, which I've always thought was tragically overrated.
The Shining - Also shot almost entirely on soundstages in the UK. But the Overlook Hotel itself is very much a character in this film. Iconic.
The Women - As someone noted above, Joan Crawford's bathroom alone qualifies this film for the list.
I just have to add Scarface!!!
Clearly I would have 100s more to add but would also have a costume period piece on the list like Pride and Prejudice or Marie Antoinette.
Cathy Whitlock
Cinema Style
Pixar's THE INCREDIBLES!
Yes I loved the house in Practical Magic. And even though it is not American Amelie's apartment should have been on the list. Also, drew barrymore and her cousin's girl house in The Wedding Singer was so cute...PINK walls!!
Awesome list! I've been obsessed with the apartment in Rosemary's Baby for years. I was disappointed to find out that the interior shots weren't really shot in the Dakota. Is that true? If so, someone will have to invite me in to see their pad. Or you'll have to do a Dakota house tour. Someone must know someone, right?
Anyway, add Out of Africa to your list and you'll be all set.
I would include The Interpreter with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, for all of the filming done in the UN building. I remember when it was released there was some comments about how little filming is allowed there, and short of taking the tourist-y guided tours most people will never see this much of the interiors. I was very happy to see what a 'scrapbook' of 60's non-residential design it was.
Great article. This would make a great series.
My additions to your list: Hitchcock had great sets, but my favorite is Rope - that penthouse living room is 60+ years old, but timeless in a European way, and I would happily move into it today.
In a different vein, Some Came Running has a great kitchen/dining/living room, which is also timeless, in an American way. It was filmed in a real house and received a ton of fan mail, according to Turner Classic Movies. I could happily live there, too.
Hello???? Legends of the Fall!!! The exterior alone is worth a blog post.
Great post. In addition to many of the above, I will add:
Christmas in Connecticut: that great room is probably impossible in real life.
The thin Man: the apartment in the first one is the best.
Pal Joey: the San Francisco house inhabited by the stunning Rita Hayworth. In particular, her shower.
Swiss family Robinson
Elephant Walk
Above all . . . The man trap in "how to marry a millionaire"
Rebecca. How did I forget about Manderley?
Funny, I was actually going to request that yall revisit The Parent TRap. Cool clothes, camp atmosphere, houses, etc. And Maureen O'hara was so hot.
Benny and Joon also sprung to mind.
Sex and the City 2 was terrible...I couldn't look away, it was so bad. I loved Carrie's apartment after she redid it the first one.
Auntie Mame - every version of 3 Beekman Place.
Down With Love - yes, please!
Sabrina - the 1995 Harrison Ford/Juliette Binoche version, not just the mansion, but the chauffeur's quarters, the beach house!
The New Age - this 1994 Judy Davis/Peter Weller movie had some amazing rooms.
The Incredibles! (Jinx SQ!)
what about...
Julie & Julia
Revolutionary road
Eyes Wide Shut made a HUGE impression on me, almost entirely due to its interiors. The Harfords house with its huge colorful artwork and red fabrics, the christmas-light drenched walls at the Zieger home, the prostitute's tiny apartment, the coffee shop in greenwich Village (actually london, I think)... all evoke an incredible feeling which made the movie resonate more than the plot has any right to...
I love all Woody Allen's film interiors/location. I'd like to add a touch of Woody in my home. Any suggestions?
Penelope, anyone?
My choices:
1/ The wonderful Art Deco interiors of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies.
2/ The inn of Holiday Inn and White Christmas.
3/ Just about anything my Cedric Gibbons...
Love this! I would add Amelie to the list.
I've long wanted to reproduce the arty, cool modernist interior of the serial killer's house in Michael Mann's Manhunter: very '80s in a good way (love the huge moon wall mural). And further in that vein, the cold, also extremely '80s loft in "9 1/2 Weeks." Tizio lamps? Fetishistic minimalist sound system? Check!
I enjoyed this post and to add my two cents:
Under the Tuscan Sun - the house in Tuscany is amazing both before and after renovations and I loved the portrayal of the lead's relationship with the house as they both evolve.
Great post! My fave is Meg Ryan's NY apartment in "Kate & Leopold." Absolutely adorable, lots of white but with splashes of color, fun style, and that amazing fire escape/loft. Do want.
"The Family Stone"
Can I add Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring?
There should be a post dedicated to TV Show houses too! There are so many great ones!
How about "A Philadelphia Story"? Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey. Amazing 1940's East Coast countryside mansions - pool, greenhouse, stables - "Miss Imbrie, the south parlor." Even a wedding!
"Enchanted April"
my favorite is Isabella Rossellini's apartment in Blue Velvet, all that mauve done right!
The Incredibles...me three!!! Pixar interior design is always so memorable.
And Brian Keith's ranch in The Parent Trap...so so perfectly masculine and Californian. Love it.
Oohh, this post is so much fun! Great choices! I would also add Dan in Real Life (love the big rambling family lakehouse) and Chocolat (the chocolate shop and the gypsy boats - yummy!). Oooh, also, strangley, It's a Wonderful Life. That big, romantic broken down house...I've been on Mary's side on that since I was a little girl.
The only thing about It's Complicated that bugged me was how they kept talking about how she was getting ready to build her "dream kitchen." I wanted to yell at the screen! It's already a dream kitchen!
Rachel, I'll add to your list of movies where the apartment is a character -- "Rear Window" and "Wait Until Dark".
And I'll throw in "Miss Pettrigrew Lives for a Day" as a period piece... lovely!
Oh, great call - "Rear Window" was my dream apartment as a kid!
oh Audry Hepburn my fav actress of all time, i adored breakfast at Tiffany's, but Sabrina was amazing and roman holiday! her sets were always gorgeous and her dresses!!!! unbelievable. I was snagged into reading this simply because the feature set was breakfast at Tiffany's... i feel a marathon coming on...
i also loved the royal Tenenbaums... fantastic movie. great post!
I liked Polly's apartment in "Along came Polly"
Will have to check out all these suggestions.
I loved the big old rambling Southern home in "Crimes of the Heart". I just googled and the home in NC where it was shot is now for sale:
I've never had a 'chat' with anyone while having a bath!! Maybe it's because I've never had a bathroom two people can be in at the same time!
My favs that aren't on the list:
A Clockwork Orange: Alex's bedroom, the writer's apartment, and the cat lady's place were all amazing.
Cruel Intentions: I can't remember if Ryan P. or Sarah Michelle Geller had the blue bedroom but I loved it!!
Because I said so: Mandy Moore's apartment is drool worthy.
Grease: Frenchy's bedroom...enough said.
Empire Records: music stores have never looked so cool.
Wayne's World: loved to go to a place like Gasworks, plus Wayne's parents basement with the afghan on the couch is iconic.
Blue's Brothers: the diner with Aretha, the music store with Ray, the country bar, then the venue they play at the end. Awesomeness!!!
A great film for uber 30's style that would now be called "Hollywood Regency" is the 1938 film "The Mad Miss Manton" starring Barbra Stanwyck as a glamorous mystery solving heiress in an equally glamorous New York high rise apartment. The screwball comedy is charming on its own, but is made even better by the interiors.
I agree, how could you ignore Almodovar?? Most visually arresting interiors around!
Fantastic post! This would make a great coffee table book! Yes Almodovar movies always have amazing interiors. I would also add Daddy Long Legs, Amelie, and the Women. And LAURA her apartment is amazing. Loved that you had Parent Trap in your list. I used to dream about that house as a little girl!
add Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Beetlejuice, and anything by Jacques Tati
That "crappy cabin" in The Pelican Brief ("crappy" being the adjective used by Smith Kenn/John Lithgow to describe Gray Grantham's/Denzel Washington's cabin in the woods). For me, this qualifies as 'unforgettable' - it appears to be one large room with a bedroom area, which opens onto a living room with a fireplace and then, as the camera pans around, contains a small kitchen and dining area. It's been almost 20 years since that movie came out, but it's been an 'unforgettable ' getaway fantasy of mine.
* All the interiors in the remake of Parents Trap with Lindsey Lohan, Dennis Qaid and Natasha Richardson. Take a look - and drool!
I agree that there are a few missing:
Rear Window- I've had dreams set in that apartment (and even in Miss Lonely Hearts' apt.)
Benny and Joon- made me dream of moving to Spokane
The Apartment
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Field of Dreams
Hannah and Her Sisters
Roxanne- Nelson BC looks so clean and fresh
Wait Until Dark- I thought that was exactly the place that a single woman should start her life in NYC
Serpico had an awesome apartment
Children of Men- super hippie house in the woods- books and photos and windows- mmm-hmmm...
Roxanne and Hannah and Her Sisters..good ones. Any Woody Allen movies..he always show the settings, NYC, Spain, and now Paris (Midnight in Paris, great setting and movie!) beautifully. Also, Hanging Up and Sunday In New York.
Also, Father of the Bride...the original 1950 and newer version.
One of my favorite interiors is from the film "Sunday in New York". I would kill to have that apartment!
I blog about this very topic at Livingonscreen.com.
My favourite screen apartments are Youth In Revolt, An Education and Confessions of a Shopaholic.
Lots of great ideas here!
....I think I need to go film shopping! Off the top of my head, what about those wonderfully bleak interiors in "You, the Living", or just about any of the sets, but most of all the great hall interior in "The Banquet"?. For warmth and charm, the 'honeymoon' scene in "It's a Wonderful Life"?
...Or Jack Lemon's place in "The Apartment"? Or Tarzan's treehouse from the Johnny Weissmuller films?
I absolutely second/third/fourth/fiftieth Amelie, What Lies Beneath, Practical Magic, and Harry Potter.
I add Holly's (Hilary Swank) apartment from P.S. I Love You.
Awesome post!!...love the apartment/houses in the movies mentioned above....I also loved the Malibu mansion in the movie Flashbacks of a Fool....chk it out in my post
I can't believe I forgot to mention "Victor/Victoria" - those Art Deco hotel suites were amazing!
So glad you included Rosemary's Baby! That kitchen is to-die-for!
"The Women" (original version)
"Harriet Craig" (Joan Crawford remake of 1930's era "Craig's Wife")
"Far From Heaven"
"Mildred Pierce" (HBO/2011 version)
Nanny McPhee
I would have to say " Green Card " and "Serpico ". Loved both of those apts!
I'm just watching "Deception" with Bette Davis. Her apartment in this movie is the stuff of dreams.
Douglas Sirk's movies: Those decadent 50s technicolor palaces, full of screens and shadows and lilies, that are like traps and tombs for his characters. And Madame Colet's beautiful art nouveau mansion in Trouble in Paradise.
Also all of Terrence Malick's movies - especially Badlands, Days of Heaven and Tree of Life, Jack Fisk is the best

"In America" - Wonderful Irish Family stuck with 'loft' full of roof holes and leaks and about 100 DIRTY PIGEONS! Where is that Apartment (with such a great view out of that one window, shown when Paddy goes to it for some solitude and peace during coming home / congratulation party for new baby girl)
