I think there's some discussion of this in the archive. First instance that comes to my mind is Gene Hackman's mono tube amp in "The Conversation." And there's the interesting scene in "The Rock" when Nicolas Cage touts the superiority of vinyl after spending $300 on a Beatles LP. The same scene was cut from the video release. Don't know if it made it to the DVD.

It's right there on the original VHS (NTSC-coded US paperback edition). But I recall he paid 600, not 300.
And another A-V flashback to add: Colonel Toulouse's office in 'The Tall Blonde with a Black Shoe'. What kind of vinyl player he had I don't recall, but it was very impressive. Sorry he had to leave it all and run in Part 2. Not to mention the Studer Revoxes in the spywagon, this you can see in hundreds of movies.

  Hmmm. There must be more than one version on videotape. If I could stand to sit through "The Rock" again, I'd check.

      Maybe the staff at the local video store will just let me view it there. "Hi, I'm from the vinyl LP preservation society. I hear you have a specially-edited copy of 'The Rock' that some of our members may find offensive. Some Beatles fans may be offended as well. Gotta check, it's the law."
