No, but I did catch PANIC IN THE STREETS (1950 w/ Richard Widmark & Jack Palance) the other night on TCM. One character is a doctor who has a pipe firmly clenched in his teeth in every scene he is in and delivers all his lines perfectly! Great stuff!
Some movies that I have seen recently in which pipe smokers make a cameo:
Pirate Radio
Ghost Writer
Sherlock Holmes (obviously)
Also, if anyone remembers a short lived Showtime Series called Dead Like Me, Mandy Patinkin made an appearance as an avid pipe smoker. He had some really funny lines and looked pretty classy with a pipe hanging out of his teeth. Also, in a recent episode of the Travel Channel show Ghost Adventures, the owner of one of the buildings that they guys were going to be locked down in had a HUGE pipe hanging out of his mouth.

There's a great old English picture whose name escapes me...takes place during the blitz, and an Englishmen posing as a tobacco shop owner assasinates suspected traitors with a hypodermic he has hidden in his pipe. Anyone know the title of this one?
The restored/colorized version of "It's a Wonderful Life" has a scene with George Bailey smoking a pipe and another with his uncle smoking as well. The scene with George (James Stuart) is really enhanced with the colorized version and you can pick out fine details on the shelves behind him, etc. It looks like the billiard he is smoking has a dot on it, a Dunhill perhaps? (it could be a Grabow or Kaywoodie as well, the detail isn't that good)
"Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy" is coming out shortly. I watched the trailer last night and there is a pipe scene in it.

Anyone watched the new Tintin movie? I haven't seen it yet myself, but I was wondering if they included Captain Haddock smoking his pipe. I've been reading the Tintin books with my young daughter for the last few months and I wondered if they decided to whitewash the smoking, which is pervasive in the books.
Reminds me of the interview in the bonus materials for the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings, where Peter Jackson considered removing the pipe smoking when making the movies, but decided it was integral.
Considering Peter Jackson is co-producing Tintin, I am curious.

Nope, no pipe smoking in Tintin. PipefriendCHS, on Youtube, actually did a video about the lack of pipe smoking.
