Just ran across this and thought of staring a thread. What other movies can you think of that have a pinball machine in it. I will start w/ this one.

There is a movie with William Hurt, I think it is called "The Doctor" and in the scenes shot at his home there is a Black Knight pinball machine that is seen several times.
Came across Rumble in the Bronx, a Jackie Chan movie. There's a fighting scene in an Arcade where about 10 pins can be spotted. Half of them end up trashed.
Dana Carvey in "Opportunity Knocks" (an 80's flick) has a High Speed connected to the home burglar alarm.
I was watching 'Next' last night, Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore etc, and 16 minutes in, I spotted a nice old flipperless woodie called 'Rocket' (1947 Bally) in the background when Nic is playing pool with his dad. (Peter Falk)
I just looked at the list you linked to jimjim and it's actually noted, but the author had no idea what pin it is. He didn't look very hard did he.
There are plenty of movies where you can spot a pin. Tilt (1979) and Tommy (1975) are the obvious ones of course...
Saw a Sylvester Stallone movie where he was a cop playing a game of pinball at the beginning in a bar.
Quoted from Lonzo:DE Star Wars makes an appearance in the new movie Blended.
Where exactly does it appear and does it play any part in the film? it better
Also for comedy's sake, "Rookie of the Year" has Rollerg-EXCUSMELADIEZ

It's in the masterbaters room. Lol (see the movie)
In attract mode but doesn't get played.
Quoted from Gensega:this is a pretty comprehensive list. http://www.pingeek.com/film/film.htm
I think you just summed it all up.
Saw a couple of recent, small movies with pins in them...
They Came Together, kind of a parody of romantic comedies, has a Williams Olympic Hockey (I think) in Paul Rudd's apartment.

Ping Pong Summer, an 80s period piece shot in Ocean City, MD, has a Harlem Globetrotters.

Copland he was playing LW3
Not a movie, but in The Wire, Omar's boy Brandon is playing a Whirlwind when he gets scoped by the Barksdale crew.
There will be some in the new Batman vs Superman movie, maybe even mine. Unless the footage gets cut out of the movie.

Batman got some Pins down in his Man Cave?
I was just watching The Abyss the other day and noticed that they had what looked like a Torpedo Alley on board their deep sea rig in several scenes.
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:Well, not a movie. But Pinball was in Star Trek Voyager.
Anyone know what pin that is?
The Accused with Jodie Foster. She didn't er...willingly want to do the above on the pinball table though.
Quoted from Lonzo:DE Star Wars makes an appearance in the new movie Blended.
Is the Translite signed?
