This list, inspired by an interesting thread on pushpullbar, is a small selection of great modern buildings that have appeared in 20th C film. Above, Charles Deaton’s Sculpture House, which appeared in Woody Allen’s 1973 film Sleeper. All photos gratefully borrowed from Flickr.
Ricardo Bofill apartment building, seen in Terry Gilliam’s 1975 film Brazil.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House, 1924, has appeared in the following films: The House on Haunted Hill, 1958; The Day of the Locust, 1975; Blade Runner, 1982; Black Rain, 1989.
Neutra’s Lovell House, above, appeared in LA Confidential, 1998.
John Lautner’s Elrod House of 1968. The 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever was shot here, shortly after the house was built.
John Lautner’s Chemosphere of 1960. Appeared in Body Double, 1984.
And finally, Corbusier’s Villa Savoie, which appeared in the film French Postcards, 1979.
I’m still researching the modern locations seen in Sleeper (as well as the furnishings).
