2. The Money Pit (1986)

In The Money Pit, Tom Hanks’ Walter Fielding is forced to learn the hard lesson that if a transaction seems too good to be true, it probably is.

3. The Notebook (2004)

The plantation house Noah Calhoun remodels throughout the film is the only thing more beautiful than Ryan Gosling’s performance as Noah Calhoun.

Noah puts in a lot of time and effort to build their ideal house so that he can win her back. Bring tissues and get ready to fall in love with Noah and his “white mansion with blue shutters.”

For a family movie night, The Karate Kid is a great choice—especially with a fence that needs repainting and some bored children about the house.

5. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is the home-renovation film that started it all. Ad exec Cary Grant is ready to move to the suburbs after becoming fed up with New York City’s pace.

7. Swiss Family Robinson (1960)

8. Life as a House (2001)

10. Housesitter (1992)

The issue becomes much more problematic for many empty nesters when they decide to undertake house renovations.

12. Home Alone (1990)

We can’t deny that Kevin (Macauley Culkin) “upgrades” the McCallister home to suit his demands in Home Alone, despite the fact that it’s not your average home renovation movie. Following an unfortunate mishap while on a Christmas trip in France, Kevin is finally able to live out his childhood ambition of having the entire house to himself! After only an hour or two of blissful solitude, Kevin is interrupted by two would-be burglars who are intent on pillaging his house. What is his reaction? With a dash of naughty DIY.

13. Honorable Mention: Home Improvement (1991-1999)

Home Improvement is as near to the actual thing as you can get, despite the fact that it isn’t a film. Tim “the Tool Man” Taylor (Tim Allen), a father and handyman with a popular television show, “Tool Time,” is the focus of the series. Successful sitcom, on the air for eight years, has a lot of humor, affection, and even some serious home renovation advice. As an added bonus, none other than Bob Vila himself plays Tim’s arch-nemesis!
