I think the Billy Crystal clip is When Harry Met Sally. Clip 1 does look like a Hitchcock movie; I wanted to say Dial M for Murder, but it was shot in color. Psycho perhaps? My guess on the Travolta clip, given his snazzy suit, is probably A Civil Action (his hair matches too). I think the Cameron Diaz clip is from one of the Charlie's Angels movies. And given De Niro's age and general look, my guess for him is Hide and Seek.
Those are the ones I'll guess at. Maybe Apple'll release a complete list.

Crystal is definitely from "When Harry Met Sally."

Anyone notice? In Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex in the City clip she was using a PowerBook 1400.

7 - Clark Gable in "It Happened One Night", great movie by the way.


Actually, I think not. "It Happened One Night" is much too early in Gable's career--the look he's sporting is definitely post-"Wind." My guess is "The Hucksters," though it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Quote:

29. Ben Stiller, from Zoolander
30. Michael Douglas, from The American President; and
31. Mr. Incredible, voiced by Craig T. Nelson, from The Incredibles

Assuming the clips are chronological, Zoolander is 2001 and Mr. Incredible is 2004 so the Michael Douglas movie could be "Don't Say a Word" (2001), "It Runs in the Family" (2003), or "The In-Laws" (2003).
"The Fugitive" (1995) also fits the timeline for spot # 15.

Robert Redford, and this is just a guess, but Three Days of the Condor?


From looking at images from the movie, his hair and sideburns are too short in the commercial /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif All The President's Men? The Candidate? Definitely from around that time.

Quote:

Michael J. Fox, in one of the Back to the Future installments (the first one, more than one reader says)


The first one based on his clothes and, as someone mentioned, the picture of his girlfriend.

Quote:

Harrison Ford, in a movie in which hes not battling Nazis or hanging out with wookies, so Im clueless (The majority opinion around the office seems to be that this is The Fugitive)


It does look like The Fugitive.

Quote:

Kevin Spacey, in what the period cosutmes suggest is L.A. Confidential


Yep; I think it's the scene where he starts looking into "Fleur de lis."

Quote:

Billy Crystal, dont recognize the movie (When Harry Met Sallymy excuse is Ive never seen it)


Michaels, you're officially culturally illiterate /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Quote:

Cameron Diaz, dont recognize the movie


The first Charlie's Angels, I believe.

Also notice that the phone's wall paper is two clown fish ala "Finding Nemo", and that the name on the top of the iPhone's display is John Appleseed. There is a new movie in pre-production, "John Chapman, The Legend of Johnny Appleseed".

The Honeymooners skit is the one where Ralph gets a job as the building's janitor.

You also forgets to point out that Macy says "how ya doing there."
With respect to your comment:
"Of those 31 clips, all but seven have the actor saying Hello. The exceptions: Dreyfus (Hello! Hello! Hello!); Betty Rubble (Oh hello, Barney.); Tautou (Bonjour!); Spacey (Hi.); Hoffman (Ye-lo); and Jackson (Yo, yo.)"

25 posts and not a single person has identified the movie that Jerry Lewis was in. Aren't there any French Macworld readers? /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
