Gizmodo has a really neat post about the top 10 Rube Goldberg machines featured on movies. Included are clips from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Wallace & Gromit (of course), and my favorite: Ernest Goes to Jail.

I know its not a movie, but the Honda Accord “Cog” commercial is my personal favorite.

I don’t really think the Edward Scissorhands one is a proper Rube Goldberg machine… each of the parts works individually rather than as a chain.
Although it’s *technically* not in film, I think they should have included the Family Guy spoof of the Pee Wee’s Big Adventure machine.
