- The sheik's (Eames) executive lounge chair atop his hydrofoil in "Modesty Blaise" (1966)
- The swivel (Eames again?) chair Derek Flint straddles in the poster for "Our Man Flint" (1965)
- The chaise longue James Bond is dropped into, falling from a chute in the Tokyo underground (Tanaka's HQ) "You Only Live Twice" (1967)
- Blofeld's super wide supervillain wing chair in his volcano lair (accurately lampooned in the Austin Powers trilogy).
- The tan leather armchairs in the Pentagon in "You Only Live Twice" (Ken Adam again). 1967 was the high water mark for cool movie chairs.
