The Maltese Falcon... the stuff that dreams are made of

Re: What's your favorite Macguffin?
I used to be partial to the occasional Egg MacGuffin in the morning but I've not had one in a number of years now. Can't even remember the last time I went in a Maccie D's tbh.

Well....and I always thought that MacGuffin was the leader of a bagpipe band.

Hard to compete with the mcguffinness of the Maltese Falcon (with Spade presenting it in-film as the ultimate mcgufffin), but still, I'm partial to books. Books are magnificent mcguffins. I love any lovecraftian story revolving around the necronomicon, I love The Evil Dead for it, and I for wish more movies à la 9th Gate. Books are under-used as mcguffins.
Failing that, microfilms. Cleverly concealed microfilms. The world balance depending on a microfilm. Perfect for Cold War tension, intensity, mystery and triple-crossing (can't really beat that setting), with the delightful contrast between the macro and the micro. Geopolitical stakes on a time stamp, sometimes quite literally. The digital age deprived movies of microfilms (and phone booths). How will cinema survive this ? Badly, I say. |

In a metaphysical sense "Rosebud" was kind of a Macguffin for Kane.

Re: What's your favorite Macguffin?
When someone goes undercover and they're out in public and some random person, who wasn't even friends with them and hasn't seen them since high school, recognizes them and makes a scene in front of the person they're trying to hustle.
