Rosemary’s Baby has a character rearranging Scrabble tiles to form different phrases, as does a character in Sneakers.
Sneakers is about a group of people who get together to steal something valuable. So is Ocean’s 11.
Ocean’s 11 begins with a guy getting out of prison…as does Wild at Heart.
In Wild at Heart, the main characters come across a person who–despite being mortally injured in an automobile accident–manages to engage them in a conversation before dying. The same thing happens in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
In It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, characters flying a plane crash through a billboard. In The Spy Who Loved Me, a henchman riding a gurney does the same.
In The Spy Who Loved Me, the protagonists are chased by an opponent who is flying, as is Cary Grant in North by Northwest.
**
North by Northwest** ends with a visit to a great American landmark…as does Pee Wee’s Big Adventure…
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, like The Bicycle Thief, concerns a search for a stolen bike.
