Default Porsches in famous films

My wife and I watched the Big Chill last night...me for the fist time her for the eigth. There was targa in the film driven by William Hurt but I was wondering if anybody knew which model, it looks like it ought to have been something like a 911S Targa maybe from the late 60s or a 911 E freom the early 70s

This raised a question between us...what other famous films had Porsches in them and what models were they

Gone in 60 seconds...911 but cant remamber any more than that, Risky business was a 928.....open to you "guys" for any more.

I believe it was an early 911T (I think late 60's). I remember being disappointed - no self-respecting drug dealer would have a T instead of an S

Bad boys, Bad Boys watcha u gonna do.......
I am sure everyone will remember the 964 3.6 Turbo in Bad Boy driven by will smith.
My favorite line is when martin lawrence tells Will Smith that his Limited edition Car is really limited cause it has no Back seats or Cup holder.....

BTW: The car used in the movie is on sale, check out this ebay auction. (I have no affilliation)

My favorite was definitely Weird Science. Close-up of a black 928 from behind, revving its engine, then it peels out as it drives off. Beautiful sound, and made me lust after p-cars from then on.
