What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

After Hours: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (stealth homage): Rear Window ⇒ After Hours (the host's read). The neighborhood shooting seen through a window is a Hitchcock rear-window moment never mentioned again; Hitchcock and Fritz Lang noir are influences.
    “there's Hitchcock and Fritz Lange Noir movies are a huge influence on this movie, and that's like such a perfect rear window moment”
    The Rewatchables · ‘After Hours’ with Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:58:09 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Disturbia: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Rear Window ⇒ Disturbia (the host's read). Disturbia, the best of the decade's thrillers in the cycle, is a Rear Window remake.
    “It's a rear window remake.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Domestic Disturbance’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:05:44 · Sean Fennessey (0.30 sure it was them)

Panic Room: 1 line the maker said so ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Rear Window ⇒ Panic Room (the maker said so: Fincher's quotes the host reads). Fincher saw it as a cross between Rear Window and Straw Dogs.
    “So Fitcher saw panic group as a cross between rear window and straw dogs.”

The Killer: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (homage): Rear Window ⇒ The Killer (the host's read). The Paris hit sequence is a clear homage built on watching rooms across the street.
    “it is a kind of rear window monkey. You know, it is like an attempt to recreate the across the street path, vision of what is happening in rooms in another building, and clear homage to that film.”
