Just watched Legends of the Fall (For like the hundredth time) and I really would just LOVE to live up in Canada where they filmed this!! Their little homestead is so gorgeous! What movies (And where they were filmed at) made you want to pic up and move?

The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood! I want to live there in Louisanna with those saucy women as my bffs! If you ever get the chance read Little Altars Everywhere, The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and Ya Yas in Bloom. |

I have to agree with Practical Magic. I also oved the setting and the time for Chocolat. Wherever Wuthering Heights with Juliet Binoche and Ralph Fiennes was filmed (please throw in Ralph Fiennes). ust about anywhere in Ireland! (loved where P.S. I Loved You was filmed). Boy - this question has really got me thinking -- ooh! One more the manor and the time where Gosford park was filmed!

My first thought was Practical Magic - that house, the gardens, that quaint town. I would love to move to Stars Hollow too. The 1970's version of Wuthering Heights - English moors, wild, rugged and lush. Lord of the Rings - wow New Zealand is gorgeous. Where was Heidi filmed?

Legends of the Fall definitely, or Le Petit Trianon on Marie Antoinette! Also Ms. Honey's cottage on the movie Matilda. Anywhere with a tiny house and lots of trees

Well, this may sound weird, but I've always wanted to live in the south of France ever since I saw "Chitty, Chitty Bang-Bang" when I was young. And though I hate alligators, I thought Florida in "The Yearling" would be a lovely place to live. And any of the origianal "Flicka" movies--Wyoming is a beautiful state.

"Baby Boom"! Made Vermont look perfect, even with the plaid! Of course, Sam Shepherd would make me want to move there too!

For me it would have to be Wyoming. I would just love to move there. The movies An Unfinished life and Flicka would have to be my all time favorite wanna move movies. It is just so beautiful up there and knowing that i could slap on my cowboy boots go out at dawn jump on a horse and round up cattle would be just heaven for me.
I am loving fall and all the wonderful colors and of course my Hot Tub!!!!!

I'm from Coastal Oregon originally, so I know all about damp, if not heavy cold! I'm a suffering duck out of water down here in the SW desert :(

Jen, compared to AZ, YUP it's cold!!! It's a damp cold being as it's an island in the Atlantic. I'm from the other side of the country and where I'm from is a dry cold. So colder temps but maybe not as chilling to the bone. Maybe I can convince my husband to let me move back home and then we could be neighbors, kinda. :)

Way up in northern Scotland the population is fairly sparse. Also the Isle of Syke was wonderful with marvelous people. I had lost my wallet with all our money and a waitress at a local place found it on her way home, walking turned it in to the police station. The lovely people at the B&B were going to let us stay there for free until we could get all sorted out but called us to the phone later to let us know the local constable had been calling all the B&Bs in the village looking for us. We went to collect the wallet and everything was there.

I liked where they lived on The Secret Life of Bees or Fried Green Tomatoes, where they vacationed in Dan in Real Life or the Ya Ya Sisterhood and a road trip like Bonneville or The Family that Preys...basically as long as it's in a big ol' convertable!
And for Nicole (texdane)...
I live in Iowa and feel very fortunate that in a very short time I can drive to a modern and trendy shopping center, clean downtown that encourages green living and creativity, the east village but then not so far away you can see horses, rugged fences, great old barns, grasses blowing in the breeze and trees as far as the eyes can see. I would have to say I get more inspiration from my drives in the country...but even in town there is so much diversity and people are (for the most part) small town friendly. We were lucky enough to find an acre in town that is surrounded by trees and a creek so I get the best of both worlds. I'm slowly turning the acre into my very own little farm, which thankfully is acceptable in Des Moines for the most part (probably no cows, pigs or horses)...but I feel very blessed. I know there are many, many places that are similar...what an awesome country we live in (again, for the most part)! ;)
Long story short, I think if you visited Iowa, you wouldn't be disappointed. :)
God Bless & Happy Trails!

Anne of Green Gables. Time and place. Although I must admit I prefer my West to the East but I don't know if there are any movies set in the North Peace. You've made me homesick thinking of the mighty Peace River and all the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. :)

The movies really make me love Argentina! (House of Spirits-while I may not like the plot, the country was amazing!)
Europe can be gorgeous, but it seems like there would be too many people in France or the UK for a rural girl like me to really enjoy it. Argentina however just seems to roll endlessly!

A Life Unfinished, Flicka, Cider House Rules, and The Notebook. I want solitude and fresh air (the first 2 choices) or history and beautiful fall seasons.
My dream place would exist in the middle of no where with a lake. Perfection!

"Practical Magic"!!! the house and town was supposed to be on the east coast, but was filmed on "San Juan Island" Washington...Legends also was beautiful, plus "The Man From Snowy River" in the mountains of Australia there are many more, but titles evade me at the moment...

The Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson - loved England and those old houses. I've been there several times and would love to live there - especially in the Cotswolds... Aaahhhh...
Connie - yes to Out of Africa. The first time I saw it was at the movies on the big screen - I fell in love... How nice for you that you were able to visit. It must have been a memorable experience.
And who remembers On Golden Pond? Loved the scenery...

Lord of the rings definitely! New Zealand is SO beautiful. Also- not a movie, but the TV show Gilmore Girls. I would LOVE to live in Stars Hallow or any small, quite, yet fun town with quirky people :)

Last of the Dog Men! I love the mountains in that movie, also Stargate (TV show) which was/is filmed around Vancouver BC. I must admit to Legends as well, as a movie called An Unfinished Life, also with Robert Redford. So basically anything with Mountains and trees and rain and mist! (13th Warrior is my list as well!!)
