Operation Crossbow (1965), directed by Michael Anderson and stars Sophia Loren, George Peppard, Trevor Howard, John Mills, Richard Johnson, and Tom Courtenay.

George Peppard used a Mondial to check the time when the RAF is about to bomb. Few minutes before a German officer check the time in a Doxa. both watches were simple time only in a gold or gold platted case.

Oops! Didn’t see the date, sorry for resurrecting a 4 year old thread! ::facepalm1::

As long as the movie hasn't been mentioned before I reckon it's OK to keep this going.

Not a movie, but this Ernest Borel Cocktail watch plays an important role in the TV Series Only Murders in the Building.

Not sure if this counts (probably doesn’t) but there’s Uma Thurman’s fake Rolex Daytona in Kill Bill vol.2…

I’m home with Covid, for the first time ever, and completely wrecking Thanksgiving for the family. 🙁

So, I sat through The Saint, in which Val Kilmer pays his “guide” for safe passage though Moscow’s underground tunnels with a Bulgari Chronograph.

Of course, the real reason I watched this stupid movie is because it co-stars Elisabeth Shue 👍

This watch isn't figured prominently in the movie, but it was shiny enough to catch my eye and I don't think I've seen it shared anywhere before.

While the Speedmaster gets plenty of screen time in the movie Apollo 13, these two Rolex GMTs get a few seconds of glory on the big screen during the recovery scene at the end of the movie.

Bitzer in Shaun the sheep is clearly wearing an Omega Seamaster Chrono.

Columbo has so many plots that hinge on watches.

This Seiko 6139 just helped him crack the case!

Omega shamelessly prominent!!

Saw Fly Me to the Moon last night. Pretty funny and well worth the two hours.

SF chron critic slammed the picture. Thought it was a Frank Sinatra song. Said there was no chemistry between the leads, and the film too predictable.

Best Apollo landing comedy is the Sam Neil film "The dish." would be hard to top that one. Do not remember any watches in it. But I loved the sheep. Nothing like putting a giant radar dish on top of a brick victorian folley on an Austrailan sheep farm.
