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?

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

"Love Potion #9"

The "chemical boy" hero has Krell electronics, ProAc speakers and an Oracle turntable.

Well, he has them for a while...

In "Indecent Proposal", the wealthy Robert Redford character drops the needle on a VPI TNT. The film's second most sensual scene.
