Steven P Dempsey Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 watched one of my Dad's fav films, "The Enemy Below" Robert Mitchum, 1957 - - showed fans running in the Battleship & German U Boat, looked like Emersons Quote
Jim Kovar Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 A quick scan and I founda couple in the battleship. Didn't spot any in the U-Boat. Quote
John Trier Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 I posted this before, but what the heck. When the movie “Bridges of Madison County” was filmed in central Iowa, they came to see AFCA member Dave Meshek. Dave’s business was antique lighting, and the movie people bought (not rent) all the antique lighting you see in that movie. I was at the antique mall when they were picking out the lightning. It was a hot and sweaty movie and I asked if they needed a fan. They passed on my offer. There have been several movies in Iowa, one time they rented a microscope I had for sale in my showcase. I don’t remember the movie, but I do remember I got $90. I found out about the rental when I got my check. Bridges trivia: Clint Eastwood was seen all over central Iowa during filming and mixed it up with the public all the time. Regular guy. I was told, Meryl Streep never left her trailer. 1 Quote
John Landstrom Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Original Top Gun movie. Air control tower….remember the fly by and spilled coffee ? Was told they were Emerson fans, but too dark for me to tell. 1 Quote
Bill Dunlap Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 They look like Emerson APG's the absolute appropriate fan for the military. 1 Quote

There are many fans seen in "Murder She Wrote" One movie even had a rare JC Penny pedestal fan... But I forgot the title. 😵 Watching movies, series, etc is always good to train the eyes to spot fans in the wild. 😎 Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 There's a Westinghouse in Shawshank. Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 The best fan scene I've seen was in "sam whiskey." Full 2-3 minute scene with a hot air fan running. If remember they even show the room through the blades. Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Sanford and son had an Emerson by the phone that has 3 feet. I couldn't get a descent picture of it. Quote
Levi Mevis Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 The Show Big Bang Theory that was on CBS for about 14 seasons had a 1930s Freshn'd Aire Pedestal Fan in the Laundry Room of the Apartment building that the show took place in. Quote

Jeff Lumsden Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 At the end of winter break, my 12 yr old wanted to watch Saving Private Ryan, but we couldn't find it streaming. We started on Band of Brothers instead. In episode 5, "Crossroads", I saw this BB/BC... Quote
Kyle Shelstad Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Two scenes from the first Addams Family movie from the early 90's first pic there appears to be an emerson on the floor, and in the second is the attorneys office scene a nice Westy 16PAP in the corner Quote
Steve Butler Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Looks like they moved the loophandle around to different scenes. The poor GE pedestal is still running like that. 1 Quote
Stan Adams Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 There is a large theater group in Houston who did a production of 12 Angry Men a number of years ago. They contacted me about renting a fan, I told them they could just use it & return it when done. They chose a 16” Hunter. Several folks I know said hey we saw 12 Angry Men & they had a fan like some of yours. Really? “Yes!” It was my fan. 2 Quote
David Kilnapp Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I love this thread. My wife and daughter are always spotting fans in movies for me. And by the way, "the Enemy Below" with Robert Mitchum is an excellent war movie. The movie Greyhound with Tom Hanks is as good. You should watch it if you haven't seen it. Quote
Chris Wimberly Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Rookie of the Year (John Candy cameo!) 1 Quote
Dave McManaman Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Edward G Robinson in “Key Largo”. The role of the one and only Johnny Rocco. Enjoying a soak, cigar, drink, and a cool breeze. Quote
