I'll put my hand up!
I was heavily inspired by an old Wales movie that contained a scene of a Kitchen cabinet full with 'Crocus' pattern Clarice Cliff way back in the early 80s....Well I sort of filled that inspiration then sold them all when they became mainstream...things to regret!
I think 'I dream of Jeannie's' Egg chair had me thinking again way back in the 70's
You're not alone!
Guilty!
Just today, I was watching a 1953 movie with William Holden and David Niven. Holden was a "Swinging Bachelor" type whose apartment was furnished with:
A Saarinen Womb chair
A Noguchi coffee table
4 or 5 Eames "Bikini" PKW chairs w/dowel legs
Assorted cool accessories that I couldn't ID.
I watch the 40s-70s era movies every morning with breakfast just to look at the interiors!
It's a sickness, I know...

Also guilty
One of my faves is "Bell, Book and Candle", which was the inspiration for the TV show Bewitched. In one scene a burning piece of paper was dropped into a stunning, large Natzler volcanic glazed bowl. Many other delights as well. This movie had me calling my cat Piewackit for a while.
Executive Suite
Not only is there lots of cool, modern furniture at William Holden and June Allyson's house in this movie, the whole film is about the head of a huge furniture company kicking the bucket and the fight about whom will be appointed to take over.
Wonderful flick, sports fans.
Oh!
No MCM...but plenty of nickels!
Best,

I saw
Jacques Tati's "Play Time" today. I am a big Hulot fan. This one is a comedic critique of modern everything. It is gentle and very funny. And the visuals are all modern all the time. I think I would replace my favorite chair with the special prop lobby chair. It is a perfect movie for this thread. If you wanted a Hulot primer (my recommendation), see "Trafic" first.
