Bruce Willis wore a Breitling Chronomat in Die Hard with a Vengeance. Thought it was a solid gold model with a pilot style bracelet but not certain of that unless it was in some other movie he was in with the gold Chronomat, pretty sure he wore a Chronomat in DHWV.
I saw Men in Black for the first time when I was just a kid and I already thought back then that this watch was absolutely cool although I knew nothing about it nor Hamilton. With further viewings it always striked me as one of the coolest things of the movie.
Now that I’m well into my Watch Journey, although I still find it absolutely cool, I’m aware that my lifestyle does not grant many chances to wear it so I never pulled the trigger on it.

Do it, it's not that expensive, especially used and quartz.
I was also a fan of the movie as a kid.
My last name is Ventura, so the model is even more iconic for me.
For me, the IWC Mark XV in Vanilla Sky. I was a 13 year old with a digital Timex when I saw that and it really stuck and I think contributed to solidifying watches in my head as something more than a ‘thing’. Now the Mark XII is my grail, which I might have arrived at anyway, but I think this played a big role.
Tag Heuer link chronograph in the Jason Bourne franchise.
Heck yes. This watch was very “of its time” and I love that about it. This was another movie that made me think more about watches beyond having my digital Timex.
Since a lot of the obvious ones are gone I’ll throw out the Citizen Bullhead worn by Brad Pitt in once upon a time in Hollywood.I heard it was date inappropriate. But still a cool watch and movie.
It's hard to see, but Henry Golding's vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille in "Crazy Rich Asians." He explained the story behind it in his interview with GQ on YouTube, and I thought it was such a great choice for the movie.

Hamilton Murph…who’s cutting onions?! 🥹
I love the Alien franchise so the Seiko 7A28-7000 Ripley for sure. Love Giugiaro’s design language in general.
Rolex 6538 James bond Dr. No
The first Bond with the to small nylon! That's a classic right?
Hard to beat McQueen's Cintree in Thomas Crown Affair. Made me sit up as a kid and discover Cartier as a legitimate contender in the watch game..

It has to be the Hamilton Ventura for me:

Nice, but I'm all for the original #casio F100 from Alien:
Reborn as a (single) A100 (here's mine):

Hamilton Murph because it actually had a role in the film and also it looks gorgeous.
Alec Guiness' Tissot Chronograph from The Ladykillers :
I think it's a ref.6216 using the Lemania 321 movement that the original Speedmasters also used.

Got to be either of the Hamiltons in Interstellar for me, what a movie, what a couple of Watches!
Might be unpopular but…
The ultimate anti-hero watch.
Rolex Day Date as worn by Ray Liotta (RIP) in "Goodfellas".

Apollo 13 and the speedmaster
Mine is a watch duo...the Pulsar and the Submariner in the first scene with Roger Moore as James Bond in Live and Let Die.
Its a no brainer...and surely wins 😉
I love the smell of Seiko in the morning 🙄
