The Coneheads Does anyone remember the scene from the movie Cone Heads when the mother begins vacuuming the rug. She takes the hose, puts it in her mouth and starts vacuuming. I thought that was pretty cool. Does anyone remember the brand of power nozzle she used? Tim | ||

Hope Floats
Anyone remember the movie "Hope Floats" with Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr.? In that movie Sandra's character gets stupid drunk one night and the next day her mom wakes her up by running her "frankenkirby" right next to her bed. It looked to be some sort of older sanitronic styled model with a gold bag from a classic on it. If I remember correctly, it still had the classic patch on it. Her mom ends up leaving the vac running in her room, leaves and Sandra has to roll out of bed and goes over and yanks the cord out of the wall. Also, in "Mona Lisa Smiles" with Julia Roberts and Kirsten Dunst, Kirsten's character is posing in her home for some pics as the perfect little housewife for some sort of womens magazine (this movie was supposed to take place back in the late 50's to early 60's I think) and in one farily quick shot, she is standing in her living room posing with her Kirby as she is running it. Again, an older sanitronic styled kirby or maybe even older with some sort of reddish, brown colored bag on it.

The Hoover 1100
The first Dial-A-Matic. Since Jeff Parker (who sold me this machine) isn't posting here (even though I asked him to) I will ask Tom Anderson to give us the lo-down on this machine. It was the first Dial-A-Matic (we refer to as DAM.) It is unusual in a couple of respects. The brushroll goes backwards, and it doesn't have a height adjustment. They had a few bugs to work out, but it was the one (I believe) that Samantha used in "Bewitched." You see I also have a later one. I love these machines and they were the first Hoover "clean-air" machines meaning that the dirt went through the bag before the fan. The tool suction wasn't bad either.

Hoover 1100 - I Dream Of Jeannie
Here is a thread we had when we set up the site - Thanks Robert. Laura Petrie also used the Hoover 1100 on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." This is fun!

Going back to the comment about the Cone Heads, the Power Nozzle and hose that she used in the movies was a white Douglas Power Nozzle hooked up to a replacement white vinyl Electrolux 1205 hose, the machine end was direct connect, the handle end is pigtailed. | ||

A couple I found recently...
In the movie Rosemary's Baby, near the beginning of the movie they open up a closet in an apartment to reveal a Lady Kenmore upright. I believe it was from the early 60's.
Also in the movie We Were Soldiers, near the beginning of the movie, you can see the familiar red handle grip of a 500 series Kirby, but later in the movie, a scene opens up with a housewife vacuuming with a 1978 Wild Moss Eureka 2315 Upright. Have a great day! | ||

I remember another Super Sucker vacuum in the movie-the early Super Sucker vacuum-looked like a metal Koblentz upright.The machine had a white bag instead of Koblentz blue bag.And a shot of the Super sucker trade in pile-you see a Filter Queen. | ||

Here are some more:
"Date with an Angel" had a Hoover Dial A Matic with powerdrive, "Big" had the basic Hoover Spirit with quadraflex powerhead, "Men Don't Leave" had a basic f&g Eureka,
"Edward Scissorhands" had a Hoover Convertible, "Raising Helen" had a commercial Sanitaire, "The Borrowers" had a Kenmore Commander and an Early Electro Hygiene upright, "Uncle Buck" had a rare version of the Hoover Innovation, "Little Man Tate" had an old Kenmore stick vac, "Prancer" had a very old Hoover upright, and "Casper" had a Kirby Classic III. | ||

Another Eureka!
The late, adorable Estelle Getty using a low-end F and G in "Stop, or my Mom will Shoot!." You really have to appreciate Getty to like that film. Also, in "Dennis the Menace" you see an old shop vac, and an old upright (it's in a box, you can only see the handle. I forgot to mention that "Casper" also had an old Dustbuster.

There was a cylinder used to vacuum up the little alien in the film Mac & Me. It was a terrible 80s ET rip off with more product placement than you could shake a stick at. Being an American vacuum, I don't recognise it.
There's also a Henry to be seen in One Foot in the Grave: @ 8min.53sec Victor Meldrew picks a fight with the home owner using another vacuum cleaner. And if anyone has seen the new Paddington film, Mrs Bird has a collection of Numatic machines, Henry etc all for different tasks in her store cupboard. | ||

^the other vacuum that Victor is battling with is a spinney made machine, possibly branded Band, Rotel or ETA. They were Argos and Littlewoods-Index budget machines in the late 80's and early 90's.
There was a whole heap of vacuums to be spotted in One Foot In The Grave - the Meldrews alone had a Turbopower U2336, Turbopower U2602, Henry, Dyson DC01 and a Hoover Compact. Mrs. Warboys had an Electrolux z1010. | ||

I was just reminded of another one.
With Halloween approaching, they're running the movie Hocus Pocus pretty often. After the witches' brooms get stolen, they have to improvise their "modes of transportation", and Mary ends up flying on a vacuum. When she initially wheels it out, it looks like it has a Dial A Nap like a Eureka. But, it may not even be a real vacuum. The headlight is in a different location. And, there's a flying scene where you can see the underside, and it's just smooth underneath; no brush roll or anything. Barry | ||
