INTERIORS

We all knew we couldn't stay away from this subject for long - there're just too many to consider. Case in point: the combined filmographies of Kubrick, Woody Allen, and David Lynch alone are enough for its own series of sexy sets. But we'll try not to be so pre-diddly-ictable and continue to keep it inclusive.

Still though...

Bill's basement bar - Edward Scissorhands

Inside each of these pastel postwar suburban homes is a "man cave" like this - back when they were a bit cooler.

If I ever had a big enough house, I'd certainly set aside a spot to recreate this retro nook (and stay fully stocked in lemonade).


Hallorann's bedroom - The Shining

Never mind the black velvet smut and the big sexy bed - when Dick has to fly halfway across the country and drive up a mountain through a blizzard only to get chopped up into little bits, it makes the room he left behind seem that much cozier and safer.


The vault - The Addams Family

Every room of the house is altogether ooky, but nothing beats the seemingly-endless cathedral of gold coins and precious stones that Scrooge McDuck would sell his nephews for.
Added to that, one understandably needs to get past a secret bookcase and go down a sorta happy-fun slide and ferry across an underground canal to get to it... It all adds to its appeal.


The Flamingo Hotel suite - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

The room itself isn't without its shag-carpet charm, but it isn't until the boys do some redecorating that it really comes to a fantastic note. Ignoring the solidified mustard and ankle-deep still water, the psychedelic array of Christmas lights, stuffed animals, and Debbie Reynolds shrine translate into a kinda Ralph Steadman art installation. I attempted to recreate this look for my bedroom as a teenager.


McDonald's - All the President's Men

I'ma just leave this here...


Harry's Apartment - The Conversation

It may be a model of simplicity, but it's still early 1970s simplicity. From the middle-of-the-road furniture and light fixtures to the Woolworth's knickknacks to any other home furnishings acquired by a man attempting to appear 'ordinary' all add up to a standard showroom of a comfortable bachelor lifestyle.


Nintendo Game Player's Hotline - The Wizard

Only a handful of workplaces come to mind, and none of them feature gray office cubicles and headset telephones - unless, of course, you can kick back with Nintendo Power magazine all day & answer questions about Double Dragon and Ninja Gaiden.


The Beatles' home - Help!

You gotta hand it to the set designers: if the fictional '65 Beatles lived in a house together, this is what it'd be - one sprawling living room vaguely divided into four separate cartoonish gimmicks.
Most who've seen the movie usually agree that John's setup with the swivel bookshelves and sunken bed is the sexiest.
