Double entendres are popular in modern movies, as a way to conceal adult humour in a work aimed at general audiences. The [[James Bond]] films are rife with such humour. For example, in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' (1997), when Bond is disturbed by the telephone while in bed with a Danish girl, he explains to Moneypenny that he is busy "brushing up on a little Danish". Moneypenny responds by pointing out that Bond was known as "a cunning linguist," a play on the word "[[cunnilingus]]." In the final scene of ''[[Moonraker (film)|Moonraker]]'', while Bond is taking Dr Holly Goodhead "round the world one more time," Q says to Sir Frederick Gray, "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir." In ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' (1999), while in bed with Dr [[Christmas Jones]], Bond tells her "I thought Christmas only comes once a year." Other obvious examples include [[Pussy Galore]] in ''[[Goldfinger (film)|Goldfinger]]'' and [[Holly Goodhead]] in ''Moonraker''. The double entendres of the Bond films were parodied in the ''[[Austin Powers (film series)|Austin Powers]]'' series.

Bawdy double entendres, such as (from the movie ''[[Sextette]]'') "I'm the kinda girl who works for [[Paramount Television|Paramount]] by day, and [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] all night," and (from the movie ''[[Myra Breckinridge (film)|Myra Breckinridge]]'') "I feel like a million tonight – but only one at a time," are typical of the comedy writing of [[Mae West]], for her early-career vaudeville performances as well as for her later plays and movies.
