Has your car been a primary feature in a movie? Did it ever make a notable appearance, or have a significant presence, or moment of importance? I'll go first. A red '83 944 was prominently shown besides Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling) in the comedy, Sixteen Candles

Your turn! Tell me what car, the movie, and show me a pic of the car in the movie!

Edit: Use this site if you can't find the pic of the car, they might have it here!

Bruce Almighty had an R129, it was an SL500 and not the SL600 like mine, but an R129 still.

Cant think of any other movies with R129s in them.

Well, the souped-up version was one of the star cars in Ronin :

Apart from that, it starred in some stuff I've never heard of.

Well it was in a scene in Ronin. Actually they filmed a scene in it to be specific. And I think Jack Bauer or Tony Almeda might have driven one in an episode of 24.

You should know that door handle by now. The movie's name escapes me but Jalopnik did a blurb on it last year just because it had a Miata in it—that's where I got the image from.

Mazda Miata in Looper! Movie was set in the future, so that was considered to be a cool classic car (ala Shelby Cobra)

The 964 was a major star in Bad Boys! I loved the race with the Cobra at the end.

Ahh, who could forget that infamous scene in 1995's "No hoi wai lung"...

It's the main reason I bought my car, actually.

Well yes. A surprisingly good movie for a remake, which are generally much worse than the original.

AE86 Coupe, Kristen Wiig's character drives one in Bridesmaids:

Also, there is that sweet scene where she does "The Rockford."

The Audi A8L stars in a few movies, most notable for me is The Transporter 2.

The movie Clueless (1995) contained a red 1994 325i Cabrio (same year, model, colour, and wheels as mine.)

Monster's Ball. My MJ's a blue long wheelbase Pioneer, not a green(ish) short wheelbase Eliminator, though. Nothing seriously major, or seriously prominent, although there was an MJ featured VERY briefly in TGUK's first US special:

I also have a Bond car... er, sortof.

Or at least, Bond "borrows" one in The World is Not Enough.

I was about to post this! Although I wish I could loop back in time and never go see that movie.

Just kidding, future Jeff Daniels was worth the price of admission.
