I believe they had a 2600 in the film "E.T.".

I think they were playing an Atari 2600 in the film "Nightmare at Shadow Woods".

I'm sure I've seen it in a billion other movies.

Revenge of the Nerds- "wormser"? is playing spacemaster x-7 when they are in the gym

[jhammond]

atari games are mentioned in a funny scene from the movie National Lampoon's: Vacation. The scene outside of Cousin Eddie's house with the two boys talking.

Do you have Space Invaders?........Nope,

Asteroids?....No but Dad sure does, he can't even get off the stool some days."

In the movie Gran Torino when he is in the basment with the kids there is a 2600 joystick that appers a few times.

I don't remember a 2600, but a home PONG console was prominently featured.

In which scene does an atari appear? I can't remember seeing one..

[SeaGtGruff]

There was a scene in "Crank" (if I remember correctly) where he's in a car with some bad guys, and one of them is playing "Berzerk"-- but I don't know if it was a 2600 game, or something else.

Looks like the Atari film by Dicaprio may never get done. I just looked at the films Dicaprio is making and it's still in development. There are 22 other films in development as well. I don't see Dicaprio doing all the in development films.
