I think there have been several of these movie threads.

Here are my best choices:
1. '87 20th Anny car in "The Nutty Professor" (Eddie Murphy).
2. '83-'86 Turbo Coupe in "Moving" with Richard Pryor. Great movie.
3. Black '88 XR-7 in "Along Came Polly."
4. Black '88 XR-7 in "School of Rock."

There is a '94-ish Cougar in "Monster" with Charlize Theron. It's actually integral to the plot (about halfway through the movie...her character kills a dude and hauls him back to her house in his Cat). I think it had a half-landau top on it IIRC.

EDIT: Oh yeah...
They're not Foxes, but I think the top 2 Cougars in movies have to be
#2 - black primered '67 Cougar at the beginning of "From Dusk 'Til Dawn"
#1 - Red '69 Cougar from the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"

Now just imagine if cooch Galore was driving the Cougar...how fitting. :tg:

That Black '88 XR-7 shows up in a lot of New York filmed movies.
It appeared in the first Spiderman movie, was egged in Mr. Deeds and was in Raising Helen as well.(I have a screen shot of that one)
I think I spotted it in Spiderman 2 as well.

There was one movie when I was flipping channels, the character they were focusing on at the time pulled up to a gas station and filled up his black '87-88 LS. The car was on the big screen for nearly 3 solid minutes. Don't remember the name of the movie though.

I also remember an episode of CSI Miami( I think) where they mentioned the suspect escaped in a Mercury Cougar. During the re-enactment scene, I think for a split second I caught the rear window of the car.

Its not a cougar but I noticed a 4 eyed Tbird in the new movie Inception parked on the side eventually getting hit by the train driving down the middle of the street.

I was watching Black Sheep with Chris Farley (probably his worst movie, I don't recommend it)... Right in the opening, about the 3:15 mark, the bullhorn flies off the roof of his truck and breaks out the window of a fox bird.

EDIT: It also looks as if they used two different types of bullhorn in the close up and distant shot.

Found an 83 or an 84 Thunderbird in "Super Mario Bros." Yes, they made a movie of it in the 90's. No, it wasn't any good.
