Same for me with 5.25" floppy disks and the C=64. I'm sure the smell of such a floppy disk would cause a total flashback.

Interesting. For me floppies failed way more often than CDs (or later DVDs). Still have a good amount of CDs (both data and music) from the 90s that work perfectly fine.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but the font used for the title is not unknown in the Amiga world

Once again a C64 on a movie...
This time on a FR SciFi-Comedy released in september 2022 : "Le visiteur du futur".
A personal note to "François Descraques" in case he reads this thread : "Please, use an Amiga next time ".

In my country we had a TV ad that said: "Fanta é a tua amiga do dia" and that reminded me always of my Amiga 500.

There's a lorry haulage company on UK roads called "DSV" which reminds me of the Amiga every time, as "Seaquest DSV" was a TV series that used Amigas for its CGI, just like Babylon 5 did. It stands for Deep Sea Vessel, by the way.
