the phone booth

from wargames posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery

In WarGames, the phone booth scene where David calls Jennifer after he escapes from NORAD was filmed outside of Darrington, Washington (even though he says he's in Colorado). That's Whitehorse Mountain in the background. The phone booth itself is of course long gone, and the Exxon station across the street is now a Shell. The one thing that stuck in my mind when I saw this movie as a kid was how he got a free call just by using a soda can pull tab. Somehow I doubt that would work.
