Commodore 64 in the movies
While watching Police 'Academy 3: Back in Training' spotted that the control room is run using Commodore 64s. At one point, a monitor goes haywire, and Paper Boy appears, although it appears to be Paper Boy the arcade game, opposed to Paper Boy the Commodore 64 conversion. |

Not actually a movie, but one of the classic Sesame Street episodes had Grover using a Commodore 64 (or it might have been a Vic 20), educating children about a computer. :) Can't remember what episode it was, but it would have been around 1982 or later. |

Nice to see the use of C64 in movies and series.
Norwegian television program Lydverket showed SDI, and some bands using the editor. Glenn also features in the documentary. I was blown away when I saw this on TV 2008. My editor! LOL.

In the german comedy "Die Einsteiger" they show one or two c64 in a private semi pro electronic lab. In the backround basic listings scroll down on the famous light n dark blue screen. |

As Fatfrost said in the oneliner, Red Dwarf uses the C64 in their filming, particularly the earlier episodes.

OT: I bet there are many many home made bedroom flicks containing Commodore 64s. |
