What Do You Think, a new, weekly CSI conversation starter to help you share your experiences, insights, and observations about the work you do was introduced in July on the CSIResources.org CSI-Connect Community.
This week’s question is:
With the new movie Skyscraper in theaters, share your favorite buildings or structures in film.“Without a doubt, it has to be the house atop Mount Rushmore from North by Northwest. It manages to combine some Wrightian influence with what I will call NPS (National Park Service) Rustic.”

“Has to be the Chrysler Building featured in the film Q, about an Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, the man-eating flying serpent who built its nest in the building!
- Doug Frank FCSI
“Interior: Henry Higgins' home in My Fair Lady. Who wouldn’t want a library/study like that?
Exterior: From TV, Highclere Castle in Downton Abbey. That building was as much a part of the show as any of the actors.”

“This is great gang. I liked the house in Woody Allen’s Sleeper. It’s up on the hill just west of Denver. The Bates Mansion in Psycho was pretty cool too.”
