Villapiano’s from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ One That Thing You Do! location that I had been trying to track down for what seemed like ages was the red-boothed Italian restaurant that stood in for Villapiano’s, the “spaghetti place out by the airport,” in the 1996 flick.

Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts. Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me. As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

Clark Gable’s Former House
‘ Speaking of Clark Gable . . . another location that I stalked recently was the Encino-area ranch where the “King of Hollywood” lived for over two decades.

The Bewitched House!
‘ This weekend I stalked the house used as Darrin and Samantha’”‘”‘s home on the 1964 TV series .

An exact replica of the Santa Monica house was…

So, I immediately went out and purchased the…
