For the E39 M5, that's easy.

Yeah, I was thinking about those films earlier.  They never made one for the M3, alas, so I can't claim it.

I also own an FD -- seems like the answer would be too obvious for that one, right?  I can't say I was ever a huge fan of either F&F or Initial D though.

If you allow the Exige to stand in for an Elise.

I hope I'm not ruining the movie - Fast/Furious X I watched on a SWA flight last month;  the car flips over in a race. 

My first thought; I could probably use that rear end.

As a child of the 80s, the 944 in "Sixteen Candles" had an influence on me eventually owning a couple:

A friend used to run a red 944 in my time trial series, I would always put "Sixteeen Candles Edition" in the entry list.

Most memorable role to a Miata (other than in Racing The Rock, of course), is in Go where it was used to kill a main character and transport her body. Sorta.

Severely disappointed in your pick for most famous movie Miata.

In reply to Javelin :

But were Mia and Tia actually driven?

The numbers on the headlights always cracked me up. That bit was definitely for the adults.

The only movie scene I can think of with a 2.0L Toyobaru in it is F&F8:


For the Suzuki Samurai, if documentaries count I'd choose Gonzalo Bravo's World Record Altitude by Car:


Otherwise, Bourne Supremacy (a LWB rebrand, but still):


I don't think I've ever seen an AE92 in a movie other than as a background car, the most prominent I've ever seen might be the sedan version in Childish Gambino's "This is America" video. But if I can go back a few years, then I can take my pick of Initial D scenes laugh

Since there aren't many Frisbee twins in movies, it might be better to pick from the plethora of options for my old AE86.

Off Track, the Hong Kong crime/action/racing movie?

Buffalo '66 with the SR5 coupe?

Initial D anime?

Initial D live action?

Bridesmaids?

11:14? (Which also has a sweet ultra-rare 80's Mitsubishi cabover van)

The opening sequence for Off Track is hilarious/awesome, because the footage is sped up. The visuals are funny, and the 4A-G slightly sped up sounds awesome, like it is revving up to 12,000 rpm really fast. laugh
