10 Great Movie Jaguars
This is pretty good ... but they left out the XKR in the movie Entrapment and a few others ...

This brings up an old thread I started a while ago where I had observed that, at least when it came to XK8/XKR in movies, have you ever noticed that the owners were pretty much always successful a**holes? For example Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz, Richard Gere in Nights in Rodantha, Matthew McConaughy in Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past, John Travolta's wife in The Punisher, etc.
As I had noted, whenever you saw one of these in a movie rolling into a scene, you could assume that here comes a successful a**hole.

Actually it is an Aston Martin DB7 convertible, which makes sense because "Handsome Rob" was always talking about his Aston Martin...especially when they talking while looking at Steve's Aston Martin Vanquish.

I think it is more like what Hollywood says about us people. I sort of take notice when I see cars in movies. For example, there I times when I see a particular car and I know later in the movie it will be involved in some hairy chase scene that leaves it demolished. But the XK8 models seem to be pretty consistently used to tell the audience something negative about the character they are about to meet--it is almost like the car is a character itself.

Yeah, things don't happen in a vacuum, particularly when it comes to the big bucks that are invested in putting together a movie. Just like someone is probably paid pretty well to decide what locations to use, it is also likely that somebody who was well-paid had to make the decision for what cars to use. It seems to be written in stone on the casting list that when someone is an a**hole, they should be driving a Jaguar.
