You can have one watch, from one movie...
The actual watch worn in the movie...What do you choose?

For me, it's the root beer GMT Clint Eastwood wore in "In the Line of Fire."

Dustin Hoffman's 1675, from Marathon Man.


"is it, safe?"

"yes, it's very safe, very safe indeed"
"but is it...safe?"
"no, no, it's not safe...it's not safe, at all".

Nice.

For me it would be the pre-Daytona Rolex chronograph from “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”

On second thoughts, as I already own a GMT, I'll revise my choice, and go for Nicholas Van Orton's, Patek Philippe - Gondola, in Michael Douglas' film, 'The Game'.

Funny, I was watching a Magnum PI rerun episode a couple of days ago where Tom was treading water for many hours and having delusional conversations with his dad while wearing his dad's Pepsi. I took a couple of screen shots. The second was Magnum as a young boy at his dad's funeral saluting with his dad's Pepsi on his wrist. If TV episodes are included, that watch would be my choice too.
