List Movies or TV shows where you've seen high end separates or where audiophile audio equipment is displayed. This will probably be a short list. 😀
Here's my list.
The Conversation- Gene Hackman, tube gear, vinyl
Love Potion #9- Sandra Bullock, Krell gear
Indecent Proposal- Robert Redford, Not sure of gear but nice looking stuff.
Californication- David Ducovney, Avid TT and Krell amps, I think.
The Mechanic- Jason Statham, tube and vinyl gear
Daredevil (Netflix)- Vincent D'Onofrio B&W speakers
9/12 Weeks- Micky Rourke and Kim Basinger, Nakamichi Dragon? tape deck. Actually shows tape flipping sides. I rewound that part a few times. Priorities. 😉
American Psycho- Christian Bale, Looks like NAD or Rotel
Pulp Fiction- John Travolta and Uma Thurman, reel to reel tape.
Dressed to Kill- John Travolta, There was some DIY in there. 😀 I 'm pretty sure Brian DePalma was into electronics and attended MIT, if I remember correctly.
Blow Out- John Travolta, More DIY. More Brian DePalma writing and directing

Bosch - Amazon tv series, has a McIntosh tube amp and some interesting looking speakers.
Not sure anything was connected or situated in a way that a serious listener would want.

Friends also had some Cerwin Vega and the B&W pod speakers in various seasons.
Look in the background of many movies with racks of gear and its very often pro audio gear(studio/PA) in racks to look like professional surveillance equipment, example would be the Bourne movies.
Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace plays Urge Overkill's "Girl, You'll be a woman soon" on a Teac X-2000 reel to reel.
Risky Business - Phase Linear gear
The departed - McIntosh gear
Ferris Beuller's Day off - Carver and Audio Source gear
Shawshank Redemption - Joe Grado HP 1000 headphones

Movie but not hi-fi: Back to the Future, Marty tries Doc's CRM-114 guitar amp at max.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

So the time travelling Delorean wasn’t enough of a give-away that the fun of the narrative superseded laws of physics and fragility of the human body?
The cassette deck is actually a Nakamichi RX-505. Cool deck.
BTW, there is a Nakamichi Dragon in that movie: a Nakamichi Dragon CT turntable. It's seen just briefly on top of the component stack.
