Universal Studios Hollywood Tour
When I was visiting Los Angeles in 2004 (I moved to L.A. in 2010) I took a tour of Universal Studios Hollywood. My dad paid the extra amount for us to actually be able to walk amongst several movie and TV sets and visit the prop house which included several floors of props used in famous movies including a dummy of Meryl Streep from "Death Becomes Her," the framed family portrait from "American Pie" and one of the red noses Robin Williams used in "Patch Adams." You cannot see these things and walk amongst the sets unless you pay the extra amount for the Studio Tour (At least that is how it was in 2004). Here are so of the pictures from that trip.
The Grinch (2000 with Jim Carrey)
I am not exactly sure where in the movie you see these houses but they were used in the very popular film. These are pictures from 2004.
