Cigars in Cinema

Caught the second half of "The Legend of the Drunken Master" (Jackie Chan) and saw that the movie's antagonist was smoking a cigar as he plotted the looting of the town's cultural items.

[Mr. Ed]

Independence Day actually had quite a few cigar smoking/ cigar scenes. The guy that played jeff Goldblum's father smoked one during their chess match, and during the briefing before the attack on the spaceship, the fighter pilots are passing out a box of tubed cigars.

When posting, please look at the updated list so as not to repeat a film that is already on the list. And remember, this list is for films only, no television programs.

[hotreds]

I've noticed- now that this thread has me looking- cigars in most movies I watch. Many times they do not have bands, and if they do, they are hard to recognize. Since I watch a lot of movies on TCM, I imagina these are all ISOMs being smoked. And, Andy, since you appear to have the list in Excel or something, I suggest that you remove the "The" from the start of the movie title to make it easier to check out the list alphabetically. I have so many CDs that I have the list in Excel, leave out the "The" for bands to make it easier when I search my list. I'll hafta start writing down titles when I observe cigars- a recent view:

When Willy Comes Marching Home(1950) William Demarest seems to always have a stogie in his mouth!

I just cut and pasted ColdCuts final list from CS onto a Word document. The "The"s were already like that on the list. I may if I have time go back and put them in alphabetical order w/o all the "the"s in them. I always thought that would be a great idea but have never done so.

[kaisersozei]

Gotta another for the next update: in Burn After Reading (2008 w/George Clooney & Brad Pitt,) John Malkovich's character goes to a Princeton reunion dinner. While he's there, a bunch of guys are singing and drinking around a banquet table and the one right next to him has a recently lit cigar.

[elderboy02]

Shooter(2007) - Danny Glover at the end of the movie when they are in the cabin.

[Mr Edmundo]

Blame it on Rio-1984 - Michael Caine, Joseph Bologna, Valerie Harper and a very young Demi Moore.
Joseph Bologna's character is lying on a bed and he and his mistress are both smoking a lancero.

[kaisersozei]

The wife & I just got back from seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. A few scenes with cigars, notably the tugboat captain who always seems to be smoking or chewing on some kind of cheroot.

Great movie, by the way--visually stunning, it was fun to just watch.

[lightning9191]

The Burbs- (1989) Tom Hanks sneaks next door to smoke cigars.

[LkyLindy]

Can't believe you have "Nude Cigar Smoking"--My copy says 2007

BAHAHAHAHAHA

[FXAdam]

Awesome thread, I was just thinking about starting something like this the other day and started making my own list lol.

I don't have it with me at the moment but I will have some additions tomorrow.

[Mr Edmundo]

This thread has me noticing stogies everywhere in movies, tv, etc...
In the movie

Tucker: The Man and His Dreams, 1988 with Jeff Bridges,
there is a hilarious scene where they are test driving one of the cars and it ends up rolling over about 10 times and finally comes to a rest right side up. The driver opens up the door and gets out with a mashed stogie in his mouth that he promptly discards.

[kaisersozei]

Does it count if there aren't cigar visuals in a movie, but in the dialogue? In Death Race (2008) with Jason Statham, the Machine Gun Joe character at one point says, "By this time tomorrow, I'll be smoking Cohibas in Miami."

[FXAdam]

OK, most of my list was already there but I do have a few to add.

The Cincinnati Kid (1965) Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann-Margret
King Kong (2005) Naomi Watts, Jack Black
Pitch Black (2000) Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie
- this one might need to be confirmed. I know there is a scene at a party where one of the neighbors asks Pitt if he wants a Cuban cigar but I can't recall if the guy asking actually has a cigar in his hand at the time. If someone owns it and wants to check that would be cool. It is on TV here all the time so I will have a chance to see it again eventually.

[FXAdam]

A couple of more that I spotted last night:

Chicago (2002) Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger
Sin City (2005) Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis

[Lucky_Hippo]

Caught a horrible movie this morning that I hadnt' seen since I was a kid.

Heartbeeps (1981) - Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters are robots who run away to start a family. Along the way they pick up another robot who is dressed in a suit, sitting on steamer trunks, and constantly smoking a cigar while telling bad jokes.

If you like rotten cult flicks this may be one you've missed.

[FXAdam]

Donnie Brasco (1997) Al Pacino, Johnny Depp

[taltos]

In Monty Python Live At the Hollywood Bowl (1982) there are at least two scenes with cigar smoking. In World Forum, Che has a cigar in his mouth for the entire sketch and in the Four Yorkshire Men, all four have cigars in their mouths and some are lit. For the record, this was not a tv program but a feature length show released to theaters.
