    HVAC in Popular Movies: Did Hollywood get it right?

    Hollywood long has been known for—ahem—taking liberties with the truth (just ask any composite character). Check out this video gallery that takes a look at 10 movies and one TV show whose makers were not about to let HVAC fundamentals get in the way of a good story.

    If I was King I would prefer to have the first air conditioners ever made. I have seen them in movies but never fortunate enough to have my own. They were the beautiful women in silk waving fans over there warriors. That's why I'm an HVAC apprentice so I can shower a princess with gifts to win her love. And at my current pay rate it has not happened yet!

    If it's available, I'd like the status of:
    Pro member/worldwide sex symbol for women to objectify.

    Thought that the "Mosquito Coast" with Harrison Ford would have made the list, as refrigeration was a central element of the movie. I think they took may have taken some liberties as I recall.
