'Basic Instinct' Movie House

The Basic Instinct movie-set house in Carmel-by-the-Sea where Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone hooked up in the 1992 thriller is for sale at $16.995 million.  This was Sharon Stone’s breakthrough film as mysterious, homicidal author Catherine Tramell leading San Francisco police detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) in a cat-and-mouse game of sex, violence and pretty scenery. And, of course, Stone’s infamous crossed-legs scene that had never been so brashly done in the film world and is still talked about today.  Hard to tell if the $352.9 million in box office sales were totally related to the virtues of the film itself or from repeat moviegoers waiting to see Sharon cross her legs again.
