You MIGHT include the Back to the Future movies. The Delorean used a bunch
of Volvo parts (including, I believe, most of the drivetrain). The scene
that comes to mind of course is the close-up of the speedometer as M.J.Fox
tries to reach 85 mph. It's the speedometer from my '78 Volvo 264.

As I recall the Delorean it first had AMC drivetrain--a 304 V8 and a ford C6
slushbox, but later I think they went to the PSA--not sure I even recall
what that stood for shared motor--but it was a long time ago!

I'm trying to think of movies in which Volvo 240 wagons make an appearance.
The only ones that come to mind at the moment are "The Hand That Rocks the
Cradle" and "Mystic Pizza," and "Fatal Attraction," but I know there are lots
of others. Can anyone name some more? The 240 wagon doesn't have to be the
focal point of the movie, or play any featured role at all, just make an
appearance. Thanks!

In Monty Python's "Meaning of Life" there is a segment in which Death
visits a dinner party ("it was the salmon mousse") and takes three
couples to the everlasting. They get into their cars to follow him; one
of them is a 245.

Here is one featuring in a Dutch commercial.
The bottom of the page lets you choose the connection speed.
(Modem versie=slow connection, Breedband versie=fast connection,
GSM=cellphone)
Enjoy!
