There are a bunch of old threads on this topic, but *really old.*

Been seeing lots of them recently. Very Disney/Pixar aesthetic

Cruella has a mod-style VBB (with 10" wheels).

Luca has a GS 160 mk 2 (sort of also a GL)

Armie Hammer and Nicole Kidman, while they were still considered sexy.
Vespas, forever.

A lot of people in animation own/ride vintage and modern vespas, hence seeing them on screen. Troll hunters series in one such case.

It just so happens that they're local to me and work on their stuff so I see that.

Here's some.
Absolute Beginners - Terrible Movie
Brighton Rock - Remake, not bad, bit depressing
Roman Holiday - Pure joy to watch.
Quadrophenia - why people in the UK got back into scooters again late 70's early 80's; essential viewing.


Absolute Beginners


Brighton Rock


Roman Holiday


Quadrophenia

Charles Hawtrey, playing "Pint pot" in Carry on cabby on a 61 Douglas Sportique.

Kenneth More stealing a 57 Douglas 92L2 in the 59 version of the 39 steps, for a quick getaway (the best version by far).

I saw this tweaked version of the Roman Holiday poster on a Bistro in Krakow.

Watching Luca. It's the most Vespa movie ever. The whole plot is centered around attaining one. There's even an Ape, and a Roman Holiday poster.

Munich: I need to watch this to confirm, but spent a day with the sound guy recording scoots.

Stockholm: There was a PX parked in front of the bank as they enter, casting fail!

Would I go to Vespa hell if I said that aside from the music and scooters, Quadrophenia really sucked?

I like how in the poster Luca rides with one finger on the clutch, in case of a seize.

Toad's GS crash wasn't scripted.
He left it in gear with the idle set too high and let go of the clutch.

Btw same story as Blue Jeans.
Guys on scoots couldn't compete with guys with cars.
