George Zucco appears to have been a pipe smoker, handling a pipe in like an expert in various movies.
In Shelock Holmes in Washington, his pipe is important in one scene (although he has to light it with a paper match for the story).
The Black Raven opens with him smoking a pipe.
In The Mad Monster there's a crazy old woman who smokes a pipe as well.

Ah! Tim Robbins! Favorite is Bull Durham (5/5) but he's got a stable of good flicks including, of course, Shawshank.
Nicholas Cage has one for awhile in "Butcher's Crossing" - I assume for accuracies' sake, he doesn't have one as the movie progresses because he inevitably runs out of tobacco.
The admiral doesn't go anywhere close to the sub, he smokes in his luxurious office. You can watch this cinamatic gem on Youtube for free. Get ready to be bored.
There was a lot of pipe smoking in the War Room in Dr. Strangelove.
Lately I have been watching a number of old Western movies, including several John Wayne movies. There are a number of supporting characters who smoke pipes in his movies. Sometimes there are multiple pipes smokers. Aha, the good old days!
It may have been posted earlier, but this time of year makes me want to point out Jimmy Stewart and the Christmas great, “It’s a Wonderful Life. The scene midway or toward the end in the Bailey Building and Loan office, before he goes home for Christmas Eve, he is smoking a pipe carrying a Christmas wreath around the office (just before his life’s troubles intensify
That scene really makes you understand why directors are wary of pipes with regard to “continuity issues”. But is still a great scene in a great movie. (I try to watch it every year…maybe it will be tonight!)

Not sure it should count, but saw a crappy movie last night, Slay Belles (2018), Barry Bostwick as Santa briefly sticks an unlit corncob pipe in his mouth in one scene.
