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?

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.

Good for Mac.Now thats product placement to the max,that film will be seen by a ton of people,and will pay for the cost of the ad easy,and i wouldnt doubt for a minute that ol Marty has a Mac system of his own and let Mac in for free,which would be even cooler.C.mom Marty what do you listen to.

I am pretty sure that we saw B&O gear get destroyed by Clark W. Griswold's antics, in Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
