Iconic Movie Structures...

Every so often a movie comes along that features a very specific house, shack, fortress or palace that just sticks in our heads for decades afterward...

I would like to mention the creepy old Cabin from Evil Dead (81)
You just knew that place would be trouble the minute Ash pulled his car up front and man it did not let us down :0

The real cabin burned down shortly after the Raimis finished the shoot and was located in Morristown, Tennessee...

Too bad too
It really just needed a good sweeping and some paint and love to make it real sweet for deer season and fishing trips!

Any favorite movie structures you would care to share?

"Monk's Cafe" (Tom's Restaurant) from Seinfeld .

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Oh and Kat'z Deli from 'When Harry Met Sally!'

I'm tossing in a couple from a British TV series, Inspector Morse (plus its spinoff, Lewis).

Radcliffe Camera in Oxford https://lifeofanarthistorian.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/oxford.jpg?w=1024

Hertford Bridge (AKA Bridge of Sighs) also in Oxford http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-awG2Po15bX8/Uul6GEKXtcI/AAAAAAAAPEE/LJjKhUCF954/s1600/bridge-of-sighs.jpg

(In this photo, I cannot begin to explain the brown 🐰 doing a wheelie on a bicycle wearing a pink flamingo on his head.)

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

I'm sure you noticed the bunny buns.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

I Am a bunny fan

Messy pests... But too cute to get angry at!

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

You can have all the bunnies you want if you come here. They're EVERYWHERE!!

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Very tempting!
They are the cutest

Gee, thanks!

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Ha!

I have a very different image of you in mind
I think you are hot

You sell yourself short GlenEllyn...and to be clear, people adore you here
Hang out more lady!!
You are an all star on MC
We love you

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

How many 🍺🍺 have you had tonight? You're getting a little mushy.

I know I haven't been around as much lately, but I'm not going anywhere. I've just been really busy around the house. I really like this place. There's a lot of nice folks and we have fun! By the way, you're an all-star. Not so sure I fit that, but I'm working on it.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Oh puh-leeze
Dont be humble
We have about 15 laugh out louders here

You make the list

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

Looks more like a drunk Teletubby who just came home from the nightclub.😐

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

Hm, is there a brown Teletubby??

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

He looks kinda bronzed. Maybe a friend of Tinky Winky. You know, the purple one with the handbag.

[–] GlenEllyn (21118) 6 years ago

No, sorry. Teletubbies are not in my wheelhouse. I know of them, but they came along too late for my kids. So Tinky Winky carries a purse, hm? I seem to remember that a while ago there was a bit of an uproar over whether they were gay or not. 🙄

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

That's correct! 👜

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

Can I please nominate all of the Disney castles????

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

You are really pushing it here lady!
If you name the most famous windmill in your country then yes...All of The Disney castles will count😉

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

That isn't just one windmill, Shogie! All of the beautiful 19 windmills at Kinderdijk are famous, it's amazing how many tourists they draw. And they're like 30 minutes away from where I live!

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Very impressive and beautiful

Built for drainage...i get that...
Oddly, i had always thought the windmills were for grinding grains or operating other simple machinery
Very cool

I learn new stuff here on MC all the time;)

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

We've got those too. But the Kinderdijk windmills form an impressive drainage system and they still work!

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

impressive engineering skills

[–] Stratego (29278) 6 years ago

I learned all about that in school!

I'll add the Nakatomi plaza, RIP Mr Takagi and his great suit.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Ooh a good one
Id be pretty concerned jumping off of it wrapped in a fire hose!

Howards End (1992)

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

Pretty much the whole town in 'Little House on the Prairie'
The Ingalls cabin, the schoolhouse, the Church and nearby General Store with the Brow beaten daddy and the mean Wife and Daughter

Pretty iconic!
Watched it every week with my little 'Sis

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Same for The Waltons

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

I remember almost nothing of this show except 'G'nite John Boy...'

I know my family watched it but i suspect Little House did the whole scene better

Sounds wonderful

The courthouse in the Andy Griffith Show.

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, also known as The Overlook in Stephen King's The Shining. I have a horror fan friend in the Denver area who took a trip there several years ago and sent me some pictures via social media.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72081) 6 years ago

The Overlook was amazing and spooky as hell
Good choice
