I have always desperately wanted to visit the land of Fantasia from The Neverending Story. I could save it from the Nothingness and the Empress would fall madly in love with me.

The villa in Enchanted April...sigh...

I would love to live in Kate Winslet's cottage from 'The Holiday'.

COMPLETELY FREAKING ADORABLE.

Makes me wish I lived in a Nancy Meyers film sometimes (sans Cameron Diaz).

Middle Earth!

Essex, England - to be where Virginia Woolf lived during "The Hours".

Really anywhere Totoro and the Cat Bus are willing to take me.

The Moulin Rouge, pre-renovation.

That'd be one helluva weekend!

The NYC of Cruising.

Geek time-Middle Earth

That, or the barracks in Jarhead, for different reasons.

A guided tour, by Dracula himself, through the dark and gloomy places of his Castle.

What about a space hunting safari in the Nostromo, "Catch an Alien , you only got one chance!!....".

MIddle Earth of course.

haha..so many places..

La Boca del Cielo, from Y tu Mama Tambien.

I must admit I chuckled at the suggestion of Essex, England -- unless you're dreaming of spending a weekend getting hammered on Stella Artois in sticky-floored pubs and dodging the assorted hen parties, I wouldn't recommend it.

Cherbourg from Les Parapluies de Cherbourg... Aaaaaaah la France et la Romance...

Heaven, in "What Dreams May Come"...

I need to visit the place where they shot LAst Year At Marienbad (Nat, have you seen it?). I can't find where it is! but is GORGEOUS!!
Also, how about that hooker pit in All about my mother... I wonder if that place actually exists.

Definitly the Graveyard from the Closing Scene of The Third Man. The last frame of that film is unbelievably beautiful, its been my desktop for nearly all of time, and it has a sort of "Beatles Crossing Abby Road" feel with me. I feel I, at some point in my life, need to make a pilgrimage to that graveyard

I'd visit Toontown from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That looked like endless very brightly-coloured fun. I'd get the Taxi(can't remeber his name)to give me a tour.

Probably Howl's Moving Castle.

Santa Barbara in Sideways. And no f'in merlot!

I've always thought it would be amazing to recreate the Parisian walk of Before Sunset with a partner. And perhaps a detour into Baz Luhmann's version of the Moulin Rouge.

Fox said...

The jail cell with Roberto Benigni, Tom Waits, and John Lurie in Down By Law, b/c I would probably laugh harder than I'd laughed in my entire life, and laughing is my favorite thing to do.

The ski lodge from White Christmas. I don't ski, but I would hang out and get drunk and sing by the fire.

I love these answers! Enchanted April, Oz, Nancy-Meyers-land, recreating the Before Sunset walk (what fun).

I'd like to spend a weekend in Michael Hoffman's Midsummer Nights Dream, riding with Hippolyta (Sophie Marceau), drinking coffee in the the town with Kevin Kline, Roger Rees and Sam Rockwell, banqueting with Christopher Bale and Anna Friel, listening to Puck and Oberon trade bon mots (Stanley Tucci and Rupert Everett) and then sleeping in Titania's bower.

is there room for a third in that last arrangement? I don't snore.
