Joe Jost’s from “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton”
‘ As I’ve mentioned countless times before, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton is one of my all time favorite movies.

The Athenian Inn from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ Another location at the very top of my Must-Stalk-While-in-the-Pacific-Northwest list was the Athenian Inn Seafood Restaurant and Bar, which made a brief, but quite memorable appearance in the 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle.

The “Christmas Vacation” Pool
‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation. (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…

The Lethal Weapon 2 House
‘ Since I am constantly dragging my boyfriend on my stalking adventures every single weekend, I decided to finally stalk a place he would enjoy – the house on stilts from Lethal Weapon 2.

Even though the dwelling showed up only…
