in "On The Edge- the rise and fall of commodore" it mentions that a Pet 2001 can be seen in one of the early scenes in of Star Trek Wrath of Khan.

I also remember seeing Garth wearing a Video Toaster T-shirt at Wayne Stock in Wayne's World 2.  I just did a google and found the reason why.
The engineer who did the first wire-wrap Video Toaster is a Brad Carvey, brother of none other than Dana Carvy AKA Grath Algar.  It seems that Garth is based on Dana's brother.

I remembered this one. A list of famous Amiga users including a list of movies/videos which used Amiga.

To check Sledge Hammer, Paula Abdul and Tom Petty using Amiga check my sig..

I know it's not a movie, but in the early Red Dwarf series there was at least one C64 on the bridge.  The  most memorable scene was the episode where Kryten sends his hand back to Red Dwarf to get help and it ends up crawling up Lister's leg.  Lister and the Cat, too afraid to move or even talk, use the C64 to type messages to each other.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

Some of the early Inspector Morse episodes also feature an A2000 with a 1084 monitor. The first time they used one I recognised the noise the A2000 PSU makes, that was even before the camera zoomed in on the A2000... :-)

Also if anyone can remember the Alf series from the eighties, they used an A2000 in the garage, although I am not sure during which season...

I put a screenshot of Lister with a C64 in the user gallery here.

I also remember watching an episode of Inspector Morse which had an A500 in it (something about computer viruses, and this kid had an Amiga 500 in his room which got infected with a virus).

@weirdami,

I used to have a sound clip from Mystery science theatre of joel & the robots making fun of the Amiga.

I never saw the episode though.

Does anyone else remember that?.

In the movie, The Substitute, there's an A2000 and 1084 on a desk, behind Ernie Hudson.

There was a movie (can't remeber the title) with Tom Beringer and Debra Winger with an A500 speaking a text file.  He was supremist bad guy using it to over-throw the world.

A commodore 64 is used in the Turkish comedy movie G.O.R.A. by Garavel (morpheus), to train Arif (neo) in martial arts, a matrix mocking scene in the movie (one of them).

In City Slickers (one or two, I'm not sure) end scroll, you'll find that Commodore Amiga has been the main sponsor of the film, and that they've used Amiga for creating some effects, not sure which... Long time I've seen that movie, but still, I remeber that.

That sounds right.
