i also feel like it was in the charlie's angels remake but i'm not sure, it just might have been another house that looks like it.

MIT’s Stata Center: you either love it or hate it. It turns out that MIT is moving quickly away from the ‘love’ end of the spectrum. It’s suing the building’s world-renowned architect, Frank Gehry and his company, for negligence, accusing the architect of flawed design that has led to leaks and mold in the chaotic and bizarre-looking building. The Globe says MIT has spent more than $1.5 million in repairs, including the rebuilding of a cracked amphitheater behind the building.

The world's LARGEST Apple, known as "The Big Apple" is located in Colborne, Ontario Canada.  It has an Apple Orchard and a restaurant.  You can see it from HWY 401 (A section of Freeway that runs from Windsor, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec) and I have driven past it many times.  Never stopped in though.  Perhaps one day I will

I love this one! Kinda retro futuristic if that makes sense.

Worst one is that Dancing Building in the Czech Republic... ouch!
