There were several Thai bonsai trees in Anna and the King. Anna brought a cute little one back to England.

Angel's Dance

A B type flick starring Jim Bulshi as a California hit man with an ocean side house. A juniper is displayed outside on the porch railing. Good 90 minute film.

There were a few in Blade Runner and if we're naming video games too then there were also some in 007: Nightfire

Halloween Ghost Dr Who and the Seeds of Doom (Bonsai reference)

Dunbar introduces himself as from the World Ecology Bureau, to which Harrison replies:

"And what is your bureau doing about bonsai?"
"Bonsai, Mr Chase?"

"Mutilation and torture, Mr Dunbar. The hideous, grotesque Japanese practice of miniaturizing shrubs and trees. What is your bureau doing about that?"

Harrison Chase to Dunbar, in "The Seeds of Doom"

P.S. It ends well, Chase ends up as fertiliser for his own garden.

cheers,

spooky

Wink Bonsai Boldly Go....

I've seen several bonsai in some of the Star Trek series, particularly The Next Generation and Voyager, seen in crew quarters.
