One on the left is a Gottlieb Close Encounters,
The one on the right I thought might be Counterforce or Phoenix, but the markings around the coin door are wrong.
Edit. the one on the right is a Joker Poker.

It was impossible to get a focused shot , would probably have more luck on a video or DVD .
Edit , saw your Joker poker excellent detective work

Close encounters was easy, but that second one left few clues. I noticed the cabinet looked like another system 1 so i had to go through the list and compare.

Quoted from DayDay:THE Toy - Richard Pryor This had a Gottlieb Haunted House and a Mars God of War.
Tales from the Crypt - Bordella of Blood - Gottlieb Time line and an older machine. Can't remember.
The movie Bordello of Blood happened to be on, like the first one better Demon Knight but here is the pic to match your movie.Perfect as believe your original post 10 years ago when I started the thread and so now we have a pic as well.

gottlieb corral from 1961
Wife and I were excited to spot this one in the new season of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Season 5, episode 2.
Gottlieb Roto Pool (1958). Show takes place in the early '60s so kudos for finding an appropriate machine to put in the background of the writer's room for the fictitious Gordon Ford Show.

That’s a Williams Heat Wave in the background of that pic, great game!
Quoted from Viggin900:Do porn movies count? There are many.Can we post pics?
I assume they’d count yes, I’m just curious what era games were used and how many?? You could always at least list the games used on here and what the names of the movies are with no pics lol, unless the title is too bad that is.
Not sure if there is a better thread for this or if it has been mentioned before, but I came across this 90s dance music video called "No Limits" that is FULLY all-in on the pinball theme (right down to giant sized pop bumpers on the set):
To me the same group (2 Unlimited) is known for perhaps THE most famous of the 90s "get pumped" sports anthems "Get Ready For This":
Although oddly enough the pinball themed video has 88 MILLION views, so I probably am just out of touch on how popular that song and video were back in the day ... and somehow just came across it 30 years later

Screencap some stills with a pin or pins and add them to your post then I can add it to the index. Outside links to youtube can break later so I don't link posts with just youtube links.

The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest entry of Slovenia showed three pins very prominently in their introductory clip (including close ups from their playfields):
Tales from the Crypt, Fish Tales, and The Getaway.

That Getaway looks to have no fade at all, was probably faded from just for being in the direct sunlight for more than an hour or who knows how long. I use to say when moving those games cover them up if it’s sunny outside or they’ll fade instantly in the direct sunlight. Could post that to pinball horror pics

Quoted from Jackontherocks:I noticed a few Kojak posts with pins. Here is Kojak-A long way from Times Square aired on 11/30/75 season 3 episode 12 appears to have two pins, one is Play Ball and other need to figure out. Guys get in fight on them.

Quoted from phillyfan64:Supergirl 2 nights ago. This has been shown several times but I still have no idea what it really is. It says Cosmic Goddess.

Just saw the Cosmic Goddess from Supergirl at a Hollywood prop house. It’s a Skylab (or Spacelab).

Pretty catchy song. Seems like it should have finished better than 21st place:
Although I think the live version is actually better:
Beyond the Edge, 2016
Space Station broken with the playfield propped up at 1:03. Oh wow, and then he tries to repair it and stuff blows up. Horrible movie btw, I can’t believe I’m still watching.
Quoted from jrcmlc:Not exactly movie/TV and I don't know where it's from but I saw this today and figured someone would enjoy seeing it. Old-school.

1979 movie called "Tilt". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078400/
Synopsis:
Tilt is the story of a young girl, who is a pinball machine wizard. Because she does not get on with her parents, Tilt is contemplating running away from home, and skipping school one day she decides to go to Mickey's Bar. Mickey, who is Tilt's good friend, helps her set up a gambler for a pinball game. Because the gambler is unaware of Tilt's pinball wizardry, he is easily hustled out of his money. While watching the confrontation, a young man, who is a potential country and western singer and who has tried to hustle and cheat the pinball champion, is impressed with Tilt's ability, congratulating her after the win. Because Neil Gallagher has to raise money to make a demo tape of his songs, he has an idea of taking Tilt with him and having her hustle would-be gamblers. Neil invites Tilt to watch him sing at a rock concert, and after seeing him sing, she believes that he can become a great singer. Henry Bertolino, Neil's manager, thinks his plan is a bad idea and they have a dispute resulting in Henry abandoning Neil. Neil Gallagher then explains his story to Tilt, telling her that they will have a contract between them, and because she was already considering leaving home, she decides to go with Neil. But Tilt is unaware that she will eventually be playing Harold "The Whale" Remmens.
