Freaky Friday (1976)


While I have been to many of the locations of the Freaky Friday 2003 remake, the only location I sought out from the original is the house below.....

UPDATE:  During my last visit I visited a few more locations.  First up is the street where the girls leave the diner to go catch up a bus.  The diner is no longer there, but the other buildings on the street still exist.

Across the street is the corner where they get on the bus...

During the car sequence, the intersection down from the bus stop is used.  The building on the left remains the same, the original diner on the right has changed....

And up further is another area by a thrift store used.... (yes, I was too lazy to get out of my car for this one!)

UPDATE April 2014: Finally got around to visiting the playing field....

For Your Consideration (2006)



Although there is nothing he can do to top Best In Show, I did enjoy Christopher Guest's follow up, For Your Consideration.   Shot mostly on the lot, the opening titles show Catherine O'Hara entering the Culver City Studios....

And her house is not too far away.....
