“Sometimes a Great Notion” Paul Newman Bowline
Also in a Don Johnson(?) offering asked boy if knew how to tie Bowline, kid says yeah he isn’t stupid, classic to me, not sure if saw it tho.
what a full-on list ..!
also a bit of fun was the muppets in the The Muppets movie,
the scene of them sleeping in their hammocks,
i think it only lasted a few seconds,
and too far and dimly lit to see any knot detail
but cute
