  • The “Clueless” Party House

    The “Clueless” Party House

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for what seems like ages now is the party house from fave movie Clueless.  Because the property is located in Granada Hills, though, and because I rarely travel that far deep into the San Fernando Valley, it was quite a long while before I finally…

  • The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ I am beginning to discover that The Queen Mary is a lot like the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles in that every square inch of it has appeared onscreen in multiple notable productions.  Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

  • Beau Burroughs’ Mansion from “Rumor Has It”

    Beau Burroughs’ Mansion from “Rumor Has It”

    ‘ Back in April, when fellow stalker Geoff, of the 90210Locations website, let me know that he had found the Fundraiser House from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) at 3456 Via Campesina in Rancho Palos Verdes, I remembered that a few years prior I had tracked down a different Palos Verdes locale –…

  • The “L.A. Story” Brunch Restaurant

    The “L.A. Story” Brunch Restaurant

    ‘ One L.A. Story location that I never in a million years thought I would be able to stalk was the exterior of the fictional Dr. Dalmar’s eatery (said to be located on the corner of Sunset and Crescent), where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and his girlfriend Trudi (Marilu Henner) brunched with some friends…

  • Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    ‘ After tracking down the hilltop abode Willy Beachum (aka cutie Ryan Gosling) called home in fave movie Fracture, which I blogged about last Tuesday, I became just a wee bit obsessed with finding the large brick mansion where Judge Gardner (aka Bob Gunton) lived in the flick.  Even though the dwelling showed up only…

  • The “Father of the Bride” Grocery Store

    The “Father of the Bride” Grocery Store

    ‘ Due to my parents’ recent move and my dad’s recent hospital stay, I have sadly not had time to do much stalking as of late.  While in Palm Springs this past weekend my mom happened to ask me if I had some locations stockpiled (or should I say “stalkpiled”? ) for times such as…

  • The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    ‘ Another Little Miss Sunshine locale that I desperately wanted to stalk was the supposed Arizona motel where the Hoover family – Olive (Abigail Breslin), Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), Grandpa Edwin (Alan Arkin), and Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) – stayed mid-way through their road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach…

  • Chuck E. Cheese’s from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Chuck E. Cheese’s from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ I have been on the hunt for the Chuck E. Cheese’s featured in fave movie Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead for what seems like ages.  Despite having an inside connection – my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, is married to none other than Kenny Crandell, aka Keith Coogan, himself…

  • Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    ‘ While out and about stalking in Beverly Hills two weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me on a minor detour to see the mansion where movie star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) lived in the 1995 comedy Get Shorty.  I LOVE the scene that took place at Martin’s pad, so I was beyond excited to…

  • The Daily Grill at LAX from “Friends With Benefits”

    The Daily Grill at LAX from “Friends With Benefits”

    ‘ While watching Friends With Benefits this past July, I just about fell out of my theatre seat when I realized that one of the flick’s more pivotal scenes had been filmed at the Daily Grill restaurant inside of the Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport – an eatery that I am…
