Have you ever watched a movie and not been able to follow the plot because you were too busy eye feasting on the house it took place in? Well, it's happened to me more times than I can count. When I watch TV shows from the past I mentally renovate the houses as the show goes on. In movies I hit pause constantly just to get a really good look at the abodes I've fallen head over heels for. I typically watch movies alone for this reason; not everyone digs a fabulous house as much as I do if you can believe that! This post is some of the movies I went crazy for. If you would like to see a more detailed view of them you can visit a wonderful lady named Julia's blog over at http://hookedonhouses.net/. She does an awesome job of taking you on a tour through these beauties and giving you details on what you're looking at. Here are my favs:

All of these houses, with the exception of "The Glass House" can be found in more detail at: http://HookOnHouses.net/. I strongly urge you to take a peek at that site, I do everyday to satisfy my house hungry side!

I just saw this--been without the Internet for a few days, so I'm a bit behind. Aren't you sweet to mention so many of my movie posts? Thanks!
I've never seen the Glass House movie. Now that I've seen the house it's in, I think I need to rent it!
You really should, it's a beautiful house. It has a courtyard rain forest area right in the middle of the house. Thanks so much for joining my blog Julia, you do such an amazing job on yours it really inspired me!
