Re: Fountain Pens in Movies and TV
In Renfield, the title character’s fountain pen runs out of ink, so he borrows a ballpoint

which later becomes a weapon.

Re: Fountain Pens in Movies and TV
Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 4 episode 20.

Holt: Gina, as you know, my fountain pen is being re-nibbed in Germany.
Gina: Yes, it’s all no one is talking about.
There's a meme too.

But the question is: Was Holt’s pen a Lamy, a Montblanc, a Pelikan, or something else?

Re: Fountain Pens in Movies and TV
A familiar pen brand appears in the end credits of Lupin season 3.

Before rewatching to find any overlooked writing instruments, I tried Google.
It turns out there’s a French clothing retailer with the same name, so — false alarm.

Re: Fountain Pens in Movies and TV
From the 2022 version of "All Quiet on the Western Front", Daniel Bruhl who plays a German diplomat holds a fountain pen. As in other WWI movies, a dip pen or a slender Waterman would have been more appropriate.

Re: Fountain Pens in Movies and TV
Crimson Peak is a wonderful 2015 film by Guillermo del Toro about certain events that take place in 1901. Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is an aspiring writer who marries the suave baronet Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) who lives in a decrepit mansion with his sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain). Even though at that time most people would have been using dip pens, the fact that the film deals with wealthy individuals gives way to suspension of disbelief with some of the many scenes in which fountain pens are portrayed:
At first, our heroine uses a clip-less black pen to write her stories, which could have been a Waterman or Mabie Todd:

Naturally at this point in time using a fountain pen would many times result in inky fingers (and forehead):

Our heroine's father gives her a golden fountain pen, although what she really wanted was a typewriter:

Somebody on Reddit identified it as a Yard-o-Led Viceroy in Barley. This pen turns out to be an important plot device which I will not reveal so as not to ruin the surprise.
