This week we pick out favourite movies that take place in one room or one location. Feel free to suggest your own answers in the comments as we love to read them.

Richard chooses Hitchcock’s Rear Wndow for the way it slowly feeds its story details and the way James Stewart runs with them in our minds.

Kris also chooses Hitchcock, but goes for Rope, a masterly told story that plays without any breaks before your eyes thanks to some incredible set choreography of cast and crew.

Check out these projects inspired by Hitchcock’s work:
