I think i remember seeing one in, "About Schmidt" with jack nicholson. It was a newer model, maybe mid 90'*. Brown I think. It was in the scene where schmidt goes to bitch at his friend for seeing his wife a long time ago. Let me know if anyone agrees.

I saw the 2004 Bonneville GXP prototype on The Sopranos last season. Christopher Moltisanti drove it.

The GXP in black would be a good mob car

This is something that I watch for now...you don't see it very much and you have to be very sharp to catch it

This isnt in the movies, but today I opened up my Best Buy Ads from the sunday paper to realize that the car in the security system part of the little ad book is a green bonneville SE! I dont know if it'* regional or if the ad goes nationwide, maybe even to Canada. I feel stupid now that I know I have been reading that for so long and have never realized it!

There is a Canadian Tire ad on TV running now that shows a 95 SE that is getting a wax job with a new Simoniz power waxer. The red Bonne looks pretty sweet and they are making fun of their neighbour washing a riced out Cavalier...
