I was watching Dinner for Schmucks with my wife yesterday, when I noticed that the stained-glass window in the dining room displayed Azure (perhaps bleu-célèste) on a chevron gules between three crescents Or five bezants. Hovering above the helm was a coronet, and the supporters were dexter a unicorn Or (perhaps tawny) and sinister a stag proper. I am unable to make a more exact description because any closer views were focused on the characters' faces and thus obscurred the view of the glass.
Alas, I cannot find a suitable screenshot to display, but I found it interesting, albeit a violation of the Rule of Tincture.
What other armorial displays have you seen in contemporary films?

One which springs to mind immediately is that of Earnst Stavro Blofeld (and of course James Bond himself).
