Yeah
I think the fella doing it previously (on a regular basis)
probably got busy doing something more rewarding.

I just noticed that so far no one put this well-known pic of STEVE McQUEEN, playing a 1952 Gottlieb's SKILL POOL, into this toppic...
It's from the episode "HUMAN INTEREST STORY" of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, aired in 1959.

Some Woodrails and a Bowlingmachine can be seen in another HITCHCOCK PRESENTS-Episode, "Appointment at 11" from 1959.

Blue Chip on the far right, far left is clearly a Gottlieb single player wedgehead, 4 square I think..

Black Knight 2000
Quoted from Daditude:From the movie Home Alone, a 1966 Williams Full House (great tie-in with the movie, by the way).[quoted image]
It seems that just about every year someone mentions the pinball in Home Alone.
Tis the season
Quoted from Bortino:NCIS S20 E8 last night. Not sure which game it is.

It's the same Moded Galaxy that's been seen in many T.V. Shows recently.
Quoted from Fezmid:In The Christmas Chronicles, there are a couple of machines in the background of the thugs' hideout. I don't recommend the movie (it went from sappy Lifetime movie to "am I high?" halfway through).
I can't tell what machines they are though.
[quoted image]
I see a black knight, road kings, and I'm not sure what the third one is
Edit: The third one is Moon flight. Not one you see everyday...or even in a lifetime.
In a new series on Netflix "Teenage Bounty Hunters", episode 8 about half way through has a Captain Fantastic and Elvira machine in the background. One other machine can also be partially seen, but I couldn't identify it. A few moments after I posted this, the 3rd machine was vaguely shown and I think it was a Tri-Zone.
There is a fairly new movie out right now that is supposed to have 3 of my machines in it.. I haven't seen the movie yet, but Armegeddon Time is the name.
Italian Adriano Celentano -movie "La giovane Europa" from 1963.
Williams FRIENDSHIP"7" (and an AMI Continental) in a scene filmed in England.

Italian Adriano Celentano -movie "Lui e peggio di me" from 1984.
European, licensed single-player version of Williams' Strato-Flite / Super-Flite called STAR-FLITE by Segasa-Sonic.
Christmas Story Christmas (2022), there's a machine in Flick's bar. The movie is set in the 70s and this machine definitely looks the size / shape of modern Stern. Looks to be a rethemed backglass, as I don't recognize it. It says "BOOM!" with some superhero-esque characters.
Just watching the movie right now so I'll add more screenshots if there are any more to be had.
Quoted from SkyKing2301:there's a machine in Flick's bar.
Thought I heard a pinball in there, but they never focused on the game, glad you caught a screen grab

The cabinet looks like a Williams System 9 or system 11.
Quoted from SkyKing2301:There's a pinball machine visible in a early scene of Violent Night (2022) ... definitely rethemed backglass but the cabinet looks like it could be original, I just don't recognize it offhand. Looks like a wolf howling at the moon in a forest maybe?[quoted image]

Doh, thanks, my bad! Here's a few more pics I just took, for good measure. Ho ho ho!
20221224_023143 (resized).jpg20221224_023313 (resized).jpgQuoted from girloveswaffles:However, you can easily miss a movie or TV title because it listed under T (for "The...").
And it's not consistent. Even in the picture of the list you posted, "The Fugitive is listed as "Fugitive", but there's a lot of titles listed under "The"
[quoted image]
So if I go to look up "The Enforcer" (which I have listed) Where do I look? Under THE Enforcer, or Enforcer?
Anything that starts with The should be listed more like this: (Enforcer, The) , or else half the list would end up under "The".
I'm gradually converting the list over to "title, the" for affected titles. That's why the list seems inconsistent. It's a work in progress.
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Doh, thanks, my bad!
It happens. I did the same thing, lol.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Has the indexing of pins for this thread been stopped?
No, just too busy for the last few months. Should be caught up now.
