Alfas in film?

I've seen quite a few alfas on TV in the last few days. On an episode of The Sweeney last night there was a dark blue Spider Kamm tail and tonight on an episode of Minder the same! Also saw the back end of a Green Sud. I love those old TV progs!

oh and my 'friend' (cough) told me that there was an old Giulia Spider on a soft porn movie on Movie 24+ last week.

A 159 in the BBC HD demo in Tescos!

Lots of Alfa's in lots of films yet no ideas as to the film that prompted my post . I guess I will have to hope it is shown at some obscure time of night at some point.

Not to be pedantic, but the mafia guys in The Italian Job run around in Fiat Coupes...and not Alfa's...they still look and sound badass, tho', anyway you slice it...nice V6 Dino engines under their bonnets.

Click on the following link and it takes you to a web site that lists most TV & films Alfa's have been in.

IMCDb.org: Alfa Romeo in movies and TV series

FRANCESCO'S ITALY - he drove a Red Spider

Not a film but a good TV series nonetheless

Channel Flicking this week

Fletch - 1983 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider
Under the Tuscan Sun - 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider
My House in Umbria - 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S
My House in Umbria - 155

i'm sure there's a goodfellas pizza advert with an old alfa in it. there's another advert that's been showing recently with an old alfa in it but i can't remember what it is.

Wasn't there a Giulietta spider in Otto e Mezzo? I don't know if there are a lot of you that know the film but you probably know the image of the car in the smog at night. It's pretty iconic. BTW there was an Aurelia B24 in La Dolce Vita but that obviously isn't an Alfa.

In Australian TV miniseries "Underbelly" the hot lawyer chick that one of the gangsters is going out with drives a grey Alfa 156.

Grand Theft Auto original cover (game) has an Alfa GTV6 in it.

Obscure movie references 1.

Shaft in Africa the Superbad eponymous hero drives an ochre Bertone coupe. Truly a supercool car for a supercool guy.

In one scene a hubcap is popped off and thrown but as any true alfista knows the 2000GTV doesn't have removable hubcaps, they are retained by the wheelnuts!! Nice to kbnow that film makers didn't let a little thing like that get in the way of the script. OMG I just realised that knowing that makes me an awful bore.

Obscure movie reference 2. In the otherwise dire 'Lady in Red' what does the fantasy lady drive but a red S2 spider

Red mk1 4 door Sud on the Professionals last night!!

I was just channel hopping this afternoon, happened across an old episode of Pie In The Sky on ITV3 , and lo and behold, a Proteo twinny 155 was featured as the car of choice for a couple of detective types. The plate was M874 CLM.

Saw one episode of Shaft on TCM some time ago,THE MAN drove a 105 GTV 2000.

Richard Gere in the family drama Bee Season drives an Alfa convertible...

For the really Sharp Eyed, there is a Montreal in "True Lies" in the opening scene

In the new BBC inbetween-programmes film of bicycles going round in a circle, there's 1 car and it's a 147!
