heres a list i just found incidentally:

General Films

So we now have a Paul Newman Daytona and the James Bond Submariner named after a movie actor and a motion picture, which wristwatch will be next? Listed below are general movies where watches appear. My criteria for this category is that a wristwatch is clearly seen, mentioned, referred to or commonly known what actor wears what watch. This has become easier in today's world of the freeze frame on VCRs and especially laser disc and DVD. Iíve eliminated digital wristwatches unless it is important to the script or it compliments the movie with humour, etc. For example take the film Planes, Trains And Automobiles where Steve Martin's gold Piaget is contrasted by John Candy's Casio. Movies made in the 30s and 40s occasionally showed close ups of wristwatches. Most of these watches, however, did not bear any name nor signature of the manufacturer.

Obviously some watches are very easy to identify i.e.. Rolex Oyster Perpetuals or Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks, but there are probably hundreds of watches that appear on screen which can't be identified. Jewellery watches would fit into this category. Watches made by Bertolucci, Bvlgari , Cartier, Chaumet, Concord, Piaget, Rolex Cellini, Tiffany & Co., Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc. are usually hard to distinguish from each other at a distance. The movie Casino in its credits lists Bvlgari as the supplier of jewellery in the film. One can presume that the gold watch worn by Robert DeNiro is a Bvlgari. Film credits have come a long way in the motion picture industry. Rolex, Seiko and Omega have all been listed in the James Bond movie credits and with today's trend of product placement in films, it will be easier to identify watches on actor's wrists.

Don't forget about "After the Sunset" Brosnan and Harrelson both wear Panerai (I think PAM 220's???). The watchs are actually used as a conversation piece during the movie at two points during the movie. Not to mention its a good movie!

Also don't forget about watches on TV.

18k Rolex Date Just on James Gandolfini in "the Sopranos". And Micheal Imperioli wears a Cartier Roadster on the show. There have also been one occasion when Tony (Gandolfini) gave a guy a Patek Phillipe for giving Carmela a stock tip.

Breitling Chronomat and Navitimer on Jerry Seinfield's wrist.

And David Caruso wears several cool watches, including a Panerai, in CSI: Miami.

Man, what is the point when you realize you have a "watch problem?"
