Say hello to this fabulous half-priced home!

The home used in the wedding scene from the 1983 gangster film Scarface has dropped its asking price from $35 million to $17.9 million. Named "El Fureidis," the Montecito, Calif. estate features 10 acres of beautiful scenery and expertly crafted interiors, but movie buffs will best recognize the home for its appearance during the wedding scene of the seminal 1983 gangster film "Scarface."

The estate has quite the elaborate history, originally founded in 1906 by James Waldron Gillespie, and has boasted memorable tenants and visitors like Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, and John F. Kennedy. Check out this stunning home in the gallery above, and learn more about El Fureidis at the online listing.
