    I'm also of the opinion that the number 237 in the modern era are tributes to Kubrick but as a Kubrick fan it's nice to see this list. Hopefully more are found over the coming years.

    In regards to the 237 in the film Capote it's the number of the actual address of the bar where the scene was filmed. Open up Google maps (or earth) and type in 237 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and go to street view the bar is there in much the same state as when it was filmed. This bar is part of the St. Charles hotel which is in the exchange district in Winnipeg where some of the scenes were shot for the movie.
