Great Moments In Product Placement History

Time for another...
GREAT MOMENT IN PRODUCT PLACEMENT HISTORY!!!

(You were supposed to imagine that with an echo)

In this scene from the 2001 film Ocean's 11, Danny Ocean (Clooney) convinces Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon) to join plans to knock over three Las Vegas casinos. Lucky for us, we have both Michelob and Budweiser signs to remind us that the scene takes place in a bar -- because the establishing shot of the bar's exterior might not have helped.

And in a moment of marketing prescience, George Clooney became the voice of Budweiser in 2005. Talk about your synergy.

There's a nice Michelob sign in "Vision Quest," right behind Madonna's cameo.

That was filmed at Emmitt's which is at the corner of Halsted and Grand, Chicago
