from why do fools fall in love, galaxy quest posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
In 1945 Arts & Architecture magazine began a program where they commissioned architects to build model homes as examples of housing that could accommodate the millions of U.S. troops returning from the war.
Thirty-six of these case study houses were designed during the program's twenty-year run (see #8 here), and most are located around Los Angeles.
Case Study House #22, also known as the Stahl House, was designed by Pierre Koenig and built in 1959 in the Hollywood Hills. You can see it in a number of films including Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Galaxy Quest and The Thirteenth Floor.

Pat and Tiffany continue their fight from the Llanerch in front of the Lansdowne Theater on Halloween. It's actually about two and a half miles away from the diner so not really just down the street.
The theater was built in 1927 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

from mad max (1979) posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Toecutter and his biker crew terrorize the small town of Wee Jerusalem while retrieving Nightrider's body from the train station in Mad Max. These scenes were shot on Fraser Street in Clunes in Victoria, Australia. Clunes was the location of the first gold rush in Victoria after gold was discovered there in 1951. It has since reinvented itself as a booktown with used bookstores, antique shops and an annual book collectors festival.
Mad Max was only the second movie for future real-life mad man Mel Gibson. The film cost an estimated $400,000 to shoot but grossed over $100 million worldwide making it the Guinness World Record holder for over 20 years for the highest profit-to-cost ratio of a motion picture.
