Love the questions @Mi-Amigo, particularly the movies ones, but don't know the answers to them 😂
Big fan of Hitchcock movies here, but I've watched Rear Window a loooong time ago and haven't rewatched it since. Vertigo is my favourite Hitchcock movie and I've watched it about 3 or 4 times.

I can't say I'm a fan of Tarantino, but Reservoir Dogs is great. Don't know the answer to that question too though 😑

Anyway, PM is on the way 🛩
