This one will be a bit of a stretch. The film has multiple cars from the era the film portrays. Simply awesome collection. Hint: title is a city name.

Here's another obscure one, at least obscure for guys that don't watch Rom-coms.
Hint: no one was shot during filming. He only had a short part in this film.

I can't remember the name of the film but I think the woman in the photo is Diane Lane. I only tuned in because, well, Diane Lane, and the cool but unusual Peugeot.

Diane Lane is not hard to look at in this film.

Softball this one. But can't resist. Great car and it was unexpected to me that the character owns/drives it. Shows just how great a Mercedes SL looks in its proper Euro spec trim with correct bumpers that US regulations didn't ruin.

This is a movie that you don't see the Movie car. You only hear it, and it is marvelous!

It's also a lie. The implication is that it is a vintage Ferrari, but the reality is, it was filmed using a Mercedes 450SEL. But it's still thrilling, and fun.
From Wikipedia; "Shot in a single take, it is an example of cinéma vérité. The length of the film was limited by the short capacity of the 1000 foot 35mm film reel, and filmed from a (supposedly) gyro-stabilised camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. A photo has surfaced that seems to reveal an Eclair cam-flex 35mm camera with a wide angle lens, and a typical "speed rail" hard mount—no gyros—on a Mercedes. This model, which could reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph), was only available with a three-speed automatic transmission. Lelouch drove his own car himself and claimed that the top speed achieved was around 200 km/h in the 1.3 km avenue Foch.[1] Lelouch also claimed during a "making of" documentary that the soundtrack was dubbed with the sound of Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB, which has the corresponding number of gears and a V12 sound that is quite distinct from that of any V8, including the 6.9 litre V8 of the alleged Mercedes camera car."
