Roxy Music's work has been featured in a number of soundtracks for both film and television.  The track "[[If There Is Something]]" plays a symbolic role in the 2008 drama/coming-of-age movie ''[[Flashbacks of a Fool]]'' directed by [[Baillie Walsh]] and starring [[Daniel Craig]]. In the film, the younger version of Craig's character is also shown dressing up as Bryan Ferry during a flashback scene set in the 1970s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Film-Review/flashbacks-of-a-fool-baillie-walsh-interview|title=IndieLondon: Flashbacks Of A Fool - Baillie Walsh interview - Your London Reviews|website=Indielondon.co.uk|access-date=3 October 2020}}</ref> [[Sofia Coppola]]'s 2003 film ''[[Lost in Translation (film)|Lost in Translation]]'' features [[Bill Murray]]'s character Bob Harris singing an off-key version of "[[More Than This (Roxy Music song)|More Than This]]" in a karaoke club.

In early April 2021, an image of a purported 1971 letter addressed to "Mr B. Ferry" circulated widely on social media. The document appeared to be a rejection note, sent to Ferry by one "Hugh C. Smith", an Artists & Repertoire manager at [[Polydor Records]], in which "Smith"  patronisingly critiqued a demo tape that the group had submitted to the label. According to a 4 April 2021 item in ''Treble'' e-zine, the letter was in fact an [[April Fools' Day]] prank which apparently originated from the [[Twitter]] account of former [[Talking Heads]] and [[Tom Tom Club]] drummer [[Chris Frantz]]. In May 2021, [[Tony Barrell (journalist)|Tony Barrell]], a British writer and Roxy Music fan, announced that he was the author of the letter.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tony Barrell |url=https://www.tonybarrell.com/dont-believe-a-word/ |title= Don't Believe A Word |date=30 May 2021 |access-date=19 July 2021}}</ref>
