hifi audio in movies


Hey everyone - I remember reading a thread here about never seeing high-end audio in movies (as props etc.) but I can't find it now. Anyway, I just got back from seeing Scorsese's "The Departed" and Matt Damon's girlfriend uses his full McIntosh system in one of the scenes, and it's a 2-channel rig! I didn't see any speakers but the MR85, MA6500 and one of their cd players are in full close-up view. I suppose Mc paid for that...but it is the first time I have ever seen anything like that in a movie. Have you seen nice gear in any other movies before?

In As Good As It Gets, There is a few scenes where Jack Nickelson is in his apartment and has a nice McIntosh set-up in the background, I believe it is the Mc-300 amp with maybe Avalons? Thanks!
Aruthur,check out the clubhouse scene in Stepford wives. HT rig with pair of mc1201's and mc2000 behind the bar. Jack Nicholson also has a nice Mcintosh rig in As good as it gets.
I believe Malcolm McDowell enjoys Ludwig Von on a Michell Gyrodeck in Clockwork Orange between predations with Dim & Dum.
I am, admittedly, not a movie buff but have actually seen two of the ones mentioned - As Good As It Gets and Stepford Wives. I did noticed the Mcs in the latter one but had forgotten about it. I will check the others out. I am always looking for reasons to pick out a certain title. Thanks

Well, he has them for a while...
