Maybe this can help, as some movies are mentioned in there, though "House" and "The Big Bang Theory" are not movies.
TV shows using Macs, must post scene shots
Name movies or TV shows that have used a Mac

The Disney movie "Blank Check" primarily involves a Macintosh Performa as part of the main story line.
Almost every Sex and the City episode has this one character using her PowerBook G4.
Bones and House seem to be Apple fans too.
Transformers has a scene that shows some military base FULL of Apple Cinema Displays.
Loads of modern day movies will usually see a cameo of an Apple computer. For instance, Bed Time Stories shows the hotel front desk equipped with iMacs. Night at the Museum 2 features the son using a MacBook Pro.
You guys must have heard of product placement, right?
Just because you approve of the product, does not mean it isn't just another ad.
Yeah, and I have no real problem with. Though I do think Apple products are often chosen as "props" to build out a set because of the great aesthetics whereas when I see a VAIO laptop it seems like its smack in your face, the camera pans by it in the foreground intentionally or something. Also, I often see Apple products with the Apple logo obscured which means they were probably chosen for the aesthetic and are NOT getting PAID by Apple.
there's also a thread that has almost the same subject. look at this: https://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php//t-358455.html
Not really adding to the discussion but Get Smart and the new Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible is basically a 2 hour long Apple Commercial.

yeh it really is. MBA's, iPhones, iPads the whole lot.
And BMW
Nearly every single mockup of a laptop I see is a "macbook pro."

I thought it was a warning to men about marriage. Will Smith lived alone for years with no problem. He goes where he wants, does what he wants and doesn't answer to anybody.
He meets the girl and is dead within a week, his home reduced to rubble. Before she gets him killed, she eats his bacon. His special bacon he was saving for a special occasion. HIS BACON!!!
Well no point in living if you can't look forward to eating bacon.Back on topic. Yeah, he's got more Macs than some Apple Stores.
This post is reminding of when I was a HS junior back in 97-98 ish. I was in journalism and as such we were responsible for the school newspaper. All editing and formatting were done on a Macintosh II computer. And now, 14 years later.
A MBP has been used in so many films. Sometimes they cover the glow apple and the name on the screen. When they zoom into the screen to show some plot, it will be there. The most recent Mission Impossible shows this and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is an example of covered up MBP. The same also applies to iPhones. They usually aren't in a case, and they show phone calls up close. Most of the time, it has features that aren't available in the current iPhone and probably improbable.
