Sorta says it in the title. Just a little fun. Movies to have on while playing pinball. Here’s mine:
Dredd
The Thing 1982
Terminator
Predator
Predators
Aliens
Star Trek: Wrath of Khan
Rogue One
Death Race (2008)
Magnificent Seven (Newer)
Bonus throwback B/W - 1944 The Uninvited
Yeah, gotta be big and loud for playing modern pins, so something like Olympus Has Fallen would be perfect. Godzilla movies from all generations would also be great. If you are playing slow EM's, totally different vibe. You can do the contemplative pinball movies:

Unbelievable throwback with the Uninvited! Nicely done. Back to back with the Wise Haunting and we are done thank you !!

I consider it the best traditional haunted house film! The Haunting is great! Those old B/W films are fantastic. Also love the Legend of Hell house with Roddy McDowell. Of course the original Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce too - The Hound of the Baskervilles
how in the heck do you have a movie on while playing pinball? im not even a music guy when playing pinball. i like to hear the machine, the sounds, the call outs, etc... i dont even have a TV in either of my pinball rooms... 
My wife and I play different Marvel movies when were in the mancave and just let them run, so when she's not playing pins she can watch the movies. Then I typically plug in my headset to the pin I'm playing so we get the best of both worlds.
Quoted from Jamesays:Sorry but it seems crazy to try and watch a movie while playing pinball.As they say in Godzilla CHOOSE
I think it really depends - if you are playing the classic SS era - early 80s, there isn't much in callouts to miss. And no distracting videos, DMDs, etc.. Just pure pinball. Same with EMs. Really, it would only be the newest pins that would compete regularly - not withstanding pins like Roadshow where there's a lot of dialogue. But think of playing movies as a background thing - you aren't actively watching it, but it's there.

Quoted from tullster:Robocop!!! The original first and only one that counts!
