And wealthy.&nbsp;If you’ve ever fantasized about living it up in the mansion from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (actually in Brentwood) or kicking back in the bungalow of The Golden Girls (not really in Florida), read on and plan for that future lottery win.&nbsp;

It&#39;s funny to think about the Hollywood sequels that&nbsp;didn&#39;t&nbsp;get made. After all, Tinseltown is famous for beating dead horses left and right. How many&nbsp;Transformers&nbsp;sequels and spin-offs do we really need? &quot;As long as they make money, they&#39;ll keep getting made.&quot; That&#39;s the major studios&#39;&nbsp;motto. But what about the killer flicks that didn&#39;t get another chance to wow audiences?

We&#39;re talking about Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in&nbsp;The Nice Guys. We&#39;re talking about the entire crew from&nbsp;Serenity. We&#39;re talking about Tim Allen,&nbsp;Sigourney Weaver, and the rest of the group from&nbsp;Galaxy Quest. So scroll on down and vote up the films that do a great job of reminding you that the pop-culture landscape is a cruel, cruel mistress.

Old Hollywood mansions may not be as large or lavish as many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrity-mansions/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">celebrities&#39; homes</a> today, but considering their size and cost during the time in which they were built, they&#39;re still impressive. Often located on acres of property, many featured amenities like swimming pools, tennis courts, and even golf courses. Residents and their guests could&nbsp;make use of dozens of bathrooms, bedrooms, and private screening rooms for their films. While ideas of living in&nbsp;excess have changed since Hollywood&#39;s silent film era, the need for successful Hollywood residents to live beyond the means of ordinary mortals is pretty much the same.

Old Hollywood estates aren&#39;t limited to the silent film era, however, and stars from the golden ages of the 1930s and 40s through the 1960s all used their wealth to create elaborate living spaces for themselves. Many became places for the famous to gather and hold parties. From acres of gardens and stables to garages large enough to hold an entire fleet of cars, these estates provided an appropriate setting for Hollywood&#39;s larger-than-life elite to spend their days and nights.&nbsp;

Historical figures&#39; homes come up for sale all the time; sometimes they&#39;re swiftly snapped up, and sometimes they linger on the market.

After a long day at work, you just want to put your feet up and recline in a comfy chair. Guess what? So do your favorite TV characters! You welcomed them into your living room for years, and all the while you watched their stories play out on memorable TV sets, and man did they have some cool decor. The most iconic pieces of furniture in television history include easy chairs, family couches, bachelor pad must haves, cool statues, and so much more. You know you wanted Spock's captain's chair and some Cheers barstools of your very own!While you probably can't own Chairy from Pee-wee's Playhouse, or the actual Iron Throne (it's not that comfortable anyway, and is probably still covered in Joffrey cooties), you can vote for the chairs, desks, dog sculptures, and Barcaloungers that you think are the best furniture items to have ever appeared on television. Whether you like the cool, spinning judges' chairs on The Voice, or the Bluth family's living room chair (which was decidedly NOT a spinner), it is essential that the Ranker community figures out which piece of classic TV furniture is the best.Is the Golden Girls couch better than Roseanne's?

We all leave home at some point – it's part of growing up. Not everybody leaves home as soon as they turn 18; but for many people, moving away from home serves as the first major stepping stone of adulthood. Young adults are eager to discover who they are outside of their families, as well as excited to begin their lives in a new place with a fresh start (big city dreams, college, etc.). However, the physical action of leaving home can also stem from emotional pain and hurt. Toxic relationships, heartbreaks, and familial loss also remain significant reasons for leaving one's home. This playlist of songs about leaving home highlights a diverse array of reasons for moving to a different place, as well as the figurative aspect of leaving home. Some of the best songs about leaving home include “Leaving Home Ain't Easy” by Queen, “Goodbye Town” by Lady A, “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson, “Going to California” by Led Zeppelin, ‘Movin’ Out&quot; by Billy Joel, and &quot;She's Leaving Home&quot; by the Beatles.&nbsp;Vote below for the best songs about leaving home, and feel free to check out these artists' discography lists afterwards if you'd like to discover more of their incredible music.&nbsp;

Shrines, castles, temples, and cathedrals are built to last, so it&#39;s no wonder that they make up most of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/oldest-buildings-in-the-world-still-standing/pierce-nahigyan" target="_blank">oldest standing buildings&nbsp;in the world</a>.

Of course, the oldest houses in the world are caves - places where Stone Age humans carved out shelter from the elements. In Italy&#39;s Sassi di Matera&nbsp;districts and Iran&#39;s Meymand, caves like these were more or less continually inhabited for thousands of years - even up to the present day. There are also more modern types of homes that date back centuries. Both England and the Faroe Islands lay claim to some of the oldest inhabited houses in the world.
