I've never seen the WB teen drama One Tree Hill, but you'll find Peyton Sawyer's house in Wilmington, North Carolina where the show was filmed. The writer John Jeremiah Sullivan was living in the house with his family during shooting, and he wrote an interesting essay about the experience for GQ called "Peyton's Place."

The Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California, Frank Lloyd Wright's last commission, served as the headquarters of the Gattaca Corporation in the 1997 dystopian sci-fi movie Gattaca. It was also used as a filming location for George Lucas's first movie THX 1138.
In 2007, the first annual Gattaca photo shoot was held there where you were encouraged to show up dressed as I suppose either Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke or Jude Law. I have no idea if that became a recurring event.
