"Entrapment" with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones features a deep blue XK8. It's been on uverse every day for past few weeks.

I'm sure I recall seeing Halle Berry driving a dark red XKR to meet some chap who was driving golf ***** from the top of his roof (or did I dream it). he ended up kicking her out of his mobile home I think.

There are two used in the film Hot Fuzz, driven by ex-bond Timothy Dalton. It is only supposed to be one car, but in one scene it has pre-2000 seats and in another it has post 2000 seats with separate headrests.

My wife thinks I am sad for noticing!

I think there is a long thread somewhere listing all the movies/shows where you see someone in an XK8/XKR and the conclusion I came to (which I posted) is that whenever one of the characters in a movie is some rich jerk a**hole, you can bet if there is a scene with that person driving, it will often be an XK8/XKR.

I discovered a new one a few weeks ago when watching Being John Malkovich. At the end of the movie Charlie Sheen is driving up to a house and there is a brief shot of the car--a dark blue XK8. Regarding my theory--case closed!
