QE2 features in "Parent Trap" as the ship the "Parents" get married on and make a second honeymoon aboard. QE2 also is mentioned in "Aladdin 2" in one of the songs.
Titanic of course is a star in "Titanic", "SOS Titanic", "To Raise the Titanic", "A Night to Remember" and "Titanic 1956" , however this is not the real ship (of course).
Rotterdam (I think) features in the movie "Out to Sea"
Sagafjord (pre Cunard) features in the drama movie "Danger" where the ship which in the movie is called 'SS Seaview' is overcome by a killer virus.
On the Small Screen :
QE2 also features in the sitcom "The Nanny" in many episodes. She is the star of the show in "Keeping up Appearances - Episode 'Sea Fever'" when Hyacinth and Richard take a cruise.
Carnival Fantasy features in a kids movie with the Olsen Twins aboard.
And of course the princess "love boats" in Love Boat...
also, an episode of the nanny was filmed onboard one of the celebrity ships.
there was also a bbc production (not sure of the name of the show) that was a documentary of the behind-the-scene goings onboard the galaxy.
Remember the SS Ile De France? The ship that rescued the most from the plagued TN Andrea Doria? It was scuttled for a movie in the 1960's right before she was scrapped.
The Fox Family Channel also had the Brittanic Movie. As usual, the real HMHS Brittanic was never used.

A docu-soap called simply "The Cruise". It made ship board singer Jane McDonald a big star in the UK. She has released several CD's, appears on prime time TV and has toured the UK, which included a show at the Royal Albert Hall.
The power of the little screen!

1st cruise was a P&O Steamer where she was having a fling with a crew member/officer; something I have had the pleasure of on the Rembrandt
Both were caught nookying in a car on the frieght deck[titanic copied theme with Leo and Kate]
Next cruise to Rio De Janiero used the original Empress of Britain; beautiful ship for exterior shots. She had a romance with a passenger.
I sailed to Rio on the Stella Oceanis as a teen.
I also recall a movie filmed aboard Maxim Gorky but cannot recall its name - can someone help me on that?
The French Atlantic Affair (a 80's mini series used exterior shots of Mardi Gras if I am not mistaken).
And the series Tales of the City supposedly used a Carnival ship but used Celebrity externals - I really hate it when the researchers/ continuity people screw things up like that - what do they get paid for?????
Additionally one scene from Brideshead Revisted was filmed on QE2...
Can't think of anymore right now - anyone else care to have a go?
Thank you! Juggernaut was the name of the movie I mentioned filmed onboard Maxim Gorky - not a bad flick. Thanks - I was going crazy trying to find it's name!
Romance on the High Seas (1948) also used the name "SOUTHERN QUEEN" for its fictional ship, but used exterior shots of one of the famed SANTA-class Grace Liners.
I think I may have mentioned this on another post, so slap me if I did...
