Came across this one just the other day!  It's the McKinley on Family Guy in the first 30 seconds!

It's reversed and looks like the at was left off of the  end that doesn't have the tower.  I love the addition of a chimney.

 

I missed this when it was first posted. That's cool! A lot of the product images of the McKinley floating around are reversed for some reason. (Actually, it's reversed on Greenleaf's store.) The artist must have based it on one of those.

If you've ever watched Patriot Games with Harrison Ford, his daughter has a Beacon Hill in her bedroom.

I know this thread is old but I’m literally watching Patriot Games right now and said “Hey! Jack Ryan’s daughter has a really nice Beacon Hill!” :D

I saw a movie on tv twenty years ago and fell in love with the miniature furniture on the mantle. For years I couldn’t remember the name of the movie but remembered that Katharine Hepburn was in it. This weekend all chores came to a holt when I realized that movie was on tv. “Holiday” with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant was on with the beautiful collection of a massive dining table and shelves displayed mini table settings and chinaware over the fireplace mantel in her “playroom”. Unfortunately, Katharine is not in this photo.

I’m reliving my childhood by rewatching Beverly Hills 90210 and I caught a Westville in an episode from Season 3. Dylan is having a fantasy about what his life would be like if he married Brenda — lots of kids — and their house is overrun with toys.

Did anyone catch the first episode of Creepshow? The second part is about something creepy in a dollhouse. It might put you off getting your kids a dollhouse and certainly you will look twice at picking up any dollhouse you want to buy from Craig's List. LOL

But the dollhouse in Creepshow is absolutely gorgeous. It opened on both sides and looked enormous. Creepy thing in the dollhouse and all, I'd have taken it. I saved some pics from the show:

Just came back from seeing Knives Out with my son. We both enjoyed it, and several times I noticed a large dollhouse in the living room. There's a picture of it in the background in the House Beautiful website,

I noticed it too! Gorgeous! And the movie was fantastic!

I know there was a thread for this very sort of thing somewhere, but cannot find it.

I came across a nice list of Dollhouses in TV and films - some I had not ever seen before. It's not comprehensive, but it's good. From 2018. I always enjoy revisiting the topic.

Last year's NCIS included an episode of "Nutshell" murder scenes.

It aired during the period of time that our forum was down.

The Allen V. Farrow documentary has a dollhouse in the opening credits and Mia Farrow talks about making it herself in the first episode.....Thehouse is nice, but don't watch the show just for the dollhouse, it is a disturbing subject.

I've been watching The Walking Dead for the first time and saw a Melissa and Doug pink house, and a second house that looked like a RGT Beachside bungalow.

And I was fascinated by the gorgeous dollhouses in Knives Out. Here's an article that has a bit about them. One has mini crime scenes.
