Vinyl/Turntables in Movies/TV


Recommended Posts

so, has anyone else noticed how every other show or movie (or like EVERY one), has a turntable and records in it now? (the last several years).

 

is there a list somewhere of every movie that has vinyl/turntables featured?

 

it just seems like i see it now in EVERYTHING...from star trek (reboot)...to...the one i love...to...transcendence...

 

even that jason staham hitman movie the mechanic had a major plot point around his pro-ject TT blowing up. /spoilers.

 

i can't think of anymore off the top of my head, but i keep noticing it a ton...

 

i don't think there was a time when there were such prominence or plot or character points about people putting in an 8 track, cassette, or god forbid a CD. i'm sure there are exceptions. i guess movies w/ boom boxes featured were around a lot in the 80s. (star trek V: save the whales)

 

EDIT:

Movies/shows mentioned in this thread: Interesting, as I expected, seems like last 5 years has the bulk of the list...
