Default Cs in movies?

Besides Corvette summer and the original gone in 60 seconds movie C3 is there any other C3 featured in a movie?

i distinctly remember one in "Boogie Nights."

"Bird on a Wire" (with Mel Gibson) apparently has a black 1980 c3, but i haven't watched it yet...

not a C3 but there was a C2 in the opening action sequence in last year's "Star Trek" movie. (i don't want to spoil the end of the sequence)

Lifeguard, starring Sam Elliot.
Blue 68 or 69 roadster. I can't remember exactly, but you see it a lot in the movie.

I just watched a movie on cable last weekend that one of the main charactors drove a 71( I think) coupe. I think the name of the movie was "The Box"

besides the Corvette Summer car(I clearly remember going to see that movie when I was young) here are some others I liked


1978 Silver Anniversary edition driven by Jack Nicholson in Terms of Endearment


1971 Stingray convertible in Rush Hour


1979 Stretched Limousine(painted as 1978 Indy 500 Pace Car edition) from Mystery Men


these others might not be officially C3 corvettes:


C3-ish Stingray Concept 'Centennial' in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen


Frankenstein's Corvette-ish(Shala-Vette kit) car from Death Race 2000


Speed Racer's Mach 5
