Also, just rang a bell. There's a new movie called CHEF and the chef actually drives a perfect mint W116, sorry no links.

Funny thing is I was going to post the same thing! I saw the movie last night. Haven't seen the car from the back, so don't know if it was a 450SEL or 6.9...

Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but 21 Jump Street (2012) had one.

Trailer for a new flick called High Rise. Looks interesting. The promo art is a photo of a Triumph Stag or similar but the trailer contains lots of 70's cars, including a lovely W116 in what looks to be citrus green.

Fingers crossed that this embed code works...

Funny nobody listed it yet, but the music boss in the series "Vinyl" cruises around in a W116 SEL, with phone and all. I expect it to be a 6.9, but have not seen the rear in detail yet (watched till episode 4)

I hadn't heard of this "Vinyl" show. Sounds interesting. I think I'll call up HBO and acquire the show legally. ;)

It's hectic. It's The Wolf of wall street in overdrive. The pilot alone was 2 hours or more. Massive script, massive cast, en it doesn't slow down in later episodes neither. Scorcese and Mick Jagger. Quite a combo!

I could swear this looks like the one I bought several months ago.....which came form Los Angeles.  Every imperfection I can see is on mine, and in the same location.  Though, I imagine it's just coincidence, as there were a TON of 516 red W116 cars back in the day.

There are many R and X rated movies from Brazil 1970s and 1980s that have the 116.

US Department of Justice filed a civil suit against The Wolf of Wall Street last week to recover funds embezzled by high ranking officials for the Prime Minister of Malaysia's stepson to produce that movie.
