Machines in MOVIES

[Larry]

My favorite part, of the Back to the Future Pepsi machine clip, is when Marty McFly tries to untwist the cap and then his future father grabs the bottle and uses the bottle opener.  That was a classic bit.

That same thing happened to me at my sons eigth grade grad party.  One girl asked me to help her with her drink, because it wouldn't twist off and I told her to use the opener on the machine.  She didn't have a clue what that was.  Then it dawned on me that openers were obsolete by the time she was born.  The funny part was she took the bottle and dragged the cap down across the opener.  I thought I was at a special needs party.  I showed her how it worked and then she got it in just one try.  Amazing.

I remember in two lane blacktop a guy getting cokes out of a slider machine.

I remember seeing a Cavalier 72 on the front porch of a couple of movies, I think one was a Steven Seagal movie.

There a old Coke machine in Swamp Thing.  Adrienne Barbeau tries to get a Coke out of it and the kid working at the gas station tells her you have to hit the machine to make it vend.  I was to distracted by Adrienne Barbeau  to notice the model of the machine

   Either a Cavalier 72 Or 96 Guarding Tess  Nicolas Cage Movie .

Just watched the new movie lawless. Its set in the early 1930's. Sorry i am to new to know the make and stuff but there was an old cooler chest that was sitting in the store front they owned. The type you have to fill with ice. And a glass top fuel pump, they both looked brand new.

There was all kinds of old signs all over the store they owned. Of course I tried to show my wife and she told me to quit being a dork and just watch the movie.  I thought it was cool though.

Larry,

Yes that scene is a classic. Funny story on your end too!!! Aside from bottle openers I really like seeing the younger generation try to use an old rotary phone

You beat me to it!! I just saw the movie and was wondering if there were really that many signs on every building back then. Seemed like every one had several signs, but there were unpainted backwoods hillbilly houses in the middle of nowhere.

I think I can say now, The Stoner Cookie Machine I just bought, belonged to Bruce Willis, we worked out the deal and the shipping company is on it's way. Don't know if it was in any movies but I'll ask.

Now how cool is that. Got to be on the lookout for a cookie machine now. I doubt it was in Die Hard though, If it was, there would be nothing left of it!!!!!!
