If you have seen the movie Rocky, starring Sylvester Stallone, you have to remember the beautifully shot sequence of Rocky's run through Philadelphia that famously culminated in his ascent up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rocky's motivational training montage has come to be known in popular culture as a powerful metaphor in which the underdog rises to a challenge. Those famous steps, known as the 'Rocky Steps' have become one of the most famous tourist attractions in Philadelphia, rivaling the Liberty Bell, with most visitors recreating that famous scene. Have you ever visited Philadelphia, and did you attempt to run up those 72 stone steps "Rocky style" (I certainly did on my visit)?

Have you ever visited the Clerks' convenience store in N.J.?

When Eat, Pray, Love came out, millions of women read the book, saw the movie and were inspired to create their own "Eat, Pray, Love" experience. They traveled to Italy to eat pasta and find "Luca Spaghetti." They went to India to meditate and find peace. They flew off to Bali in hopes of finding clarity and love. But that was not the only book (movie) to inspire travel. Did you see any of these movies, and research going on a trip to its location?
