Cameras in movies...

Julia Roberts and her M6 with motor drive shooting Natalie Portman in 'Closer'. Two babes, no, make that three babes with the Leica.

Just watched Paul Burdis' "The Wee Man"--Amazon has it as "Gangster"--and right around 1:38 there is a scene where The lead character is talking to the press on the doorsteps of a court house. One of the photographers is using some variant of this:

Seeing that as a prop definitely took me out of the movie.

Just watched the SciFi movie the Faculty Elijah Woods uses a Pentax k1000 in the movie

Was watching "Walter Mitty" with Ben Stiller a couple of days ago. A one point, Sean Penn, playing a photojournalist for LIFE magazine, is seen shooting snow leopards in the Himalayas with a Nikon F3/T. The funny part was it is a silver model and the word "Nikon" is covered with gaffer tape. But the close shots of Penn and the camera show the "F3/T" very clearly:bang:! I guess Nikon wasn't willing to fork over enough cash to get them to leave off the tape!

In the anime series "The Eccentric Family", the main character Yasaburou occasionally uses what is obviously a Voigtlander Vitessa L, which also features prominently in the second season opening credits.

Anybody knows what's this P&S that Brosnan is using in Dante's Peak?

Looks like a Contax TVS.

Just watching Ghost Busters 2 and Bill Murray uses a Brooks Veriwide for some reason. Of course he's clicking away as though it's a point-and-shoot.

Funny Face. The shiny new rolleiflexes look great.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (ヨコハマ買い出し紀行) is a japanese Anime-Series after a very nice Manga. A Camera does play a very central role in this, although, it is not a real camera. But many thoughts of the main character circle around the "right" moment to take a picture and what is worth of being photographed.

Very nice, if one likes the silent mood of the series.

Saw the trailer of the new King Kong movie on TV.

A woman behind one of the lead characters carries a Leica M3 with a goggled Summaron 35mm 3.5 on it.

Watching it now and I'd love to know what strap she's using.

In The Ipcress File Harry Palmer is given a Minox B in the Supermarket.

In From Russia with Love, James Bond uses a Rolliflex on the Ferry while interviuing the Russian would be jump off, with the decoder.

In "Das Boot" the war reporter uses a Leica IIIc, and also other movie full of war reporters and cameras is "The Killing Fields", Rolleiflex & Nikon F mostly.

OneHourPhoto - Leica minilux

Did they even have special coverings for the time era of the film.

Ok, I am a bit of a classic film nut...but I'm still surprised nobody has yet mentioned the quintessential Nikon F used by David Hemmings in Antonioni's Blow-Up (1966). This film probably contributed as much to making a name for the Nikon F as all of Nikon's advertising up to that point.

Then there's Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960) where the murderer shoots with a Bell & Howell 70-DR 16mm camera. He has a retractable knife hidden in one of the tripod legs with which he impales many helpless females.

That these are both British films involving photography and murder is purely coincidental

I think it is a Contax T3. But I am going from memory and too lazy to look it up.😀

Full Metal Jacket, one of my favorite Kubrick films, had cameras aplenty.

Nikon F's, a Chrome FTN, & a Black plain prism (funny, I just realized I have both of those cameras)

And an Arriflex 16S with 400ft magazine (happen to have one of these too as I used to service Arriflex motion picture cameras)

Best,
