  OK. All three films have been identified, I suspect on the basis of the clues that I provided.
  
  
  
  The Bell Picture phone -- or at least a futuristic version of it -- was featured in the "calling home" sequence in the spaceliner in 2001.
  
  
  
  Computer Space was pictured as a luxury item that a rich man presented to his, uh..., girlfriend (affectionately referred to as "furniture") in the potboiler Solyent Green.
  
  
  
  The Connection Machine was featured in the control room of Jurassic Park, probably since it looked more like a computer than, well, a set made up to look like a computer.
