I believe the knot they tie in RRTI is called the "Hollywood" knot, lol!
I honestly don't remember, I'll have to rent it and watch it again.
I've tried to find the knot that I use several times, and have never found a name for it. It is a knot that my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father have used...and it is the knot that my father taught me when I was a babe. Nothing fancy...real simple...but never had problems with it. I was just googling knots again to see if I could find it, and I stumbled across a pic of a knot that looks like it, and they call it a "Reel" knot...
