TV series so not 100% on topic, but in episode 3 of “The Unlikely Murderer” on Netflix at 41:31 there is an ST. I initially recognized the monitor, and then they had a nice shot from the front showing the logo on it. ST is clearly on the desk. This scene is set in ~1988 so right on point with the tech at the time.

@Mark loves Stella how did you notice that? The computer appears for less than a second...

If you've been staring at these computers for over three decades, you recognise them even if for a split second.  At 3:14 they have an Atari SM124 monitor painted entirely blue and then you see the computer and monitor all blue at 3:18 & 4:18.  Great catch, Mark loves Stella.

Another Atari reference while watching Rifftrax:

No use of the machines but I was really surprised that they made a joke about the Falcon. Seems VERY obscure.

 

Cool!  Which one is that?

 

Speaking of MST3K, there was an Atari 800 in Being From Another Planet (aka Time Walker)

And if they did use a Falcon in that film, I'm sure it would feature an impossibly hi-tech user interface and the sound effects from 2600 Pac Man, as Hollywood liked to do back then :)

I realized after the fact that I had forgotten to state the movie - Gangster World.
