The most extraordinary houses in film

Ah, the movies! As well as swooning over the actors' good looks, we tend to be rather taken with their houses too! The StyQR team offers you a quick tour of the finest houses (in our opinion) in film. The perfect excuse to discover, or rediscover, a few classics.

Zabriskie Point (1970)

How could anyone resist? A vast glass villa with an uninterrupted view! We said yes on the spot.

Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, Zabriskie Point is a masterpiece whose soundtrack was largely composed by Pink Floyd! As much a pleasure for the ears as for the eyes.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

This seventh instalment in the James Bond series, produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, is known in France as Chaud les Glaçons! Personally, we prefer Diamonds Are Forever.

Back in 2016, the villa was up for sale at 8 billion dollars!

Iron Man (2008)

This villa remains one of the most breathtaking of the lot. Perched on a clifftop, bright and airy: we'd almost ask Tony Stark for the keys!

Another villa for sale, for a mere ... 14 million euros!

Twilight (2008)

Could you tell this article was written by a girl? The Cullen house sprang to mind straight away!

Known as the Hoke House, this splendid timber home in the heart of the forest makes us long for long walks and log fires.

The Great Gatsby (2013)

Can you picture those scenes of wild parties too? All that luxury and those chandeliers everywhere? The flip side? Gatsby lives there alone, and he dies there alone.

Fancy buying it? For 14 million it's all yours. A bargain, surely?

That said, the house that inspired Francis Scott Fitzgerald's novel can no longer be seen: it was demolished to make way for a larger property development. And what about you: which film house is your favourite? Tell us in the comments!

And if you fancy escaping a little further, come with us to Nouvelle-Aquitaine!
