Recently I've watched several 'low budget' movies out of curiosity, a few of them have even had interesting spacecraft that I thought might be well suited for Orbiter.
Ignition
Rogue elements in the US Military decided to assassinate the President by staging a fake terrorist attack on a rocket launch. The LV seems to be a 'hacked' Titan launched from somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
A. Pseudo-Titan
B. Under the launchpad
C. John C. Calhoun AFB, Pacific Northwest
Fallout/Memorial Day
Two films that shared the same models, the first involved terrorists hijacking a space station, the second like 'Ignition' sees rogue elements of the US government playing at fake terrorism, this time blaming Russian cyberpunks who've taken over a laser battle-sat.
A. Hacked Apollo
B. Space-Station Gateway (Fallout)/Luna (Memorial Day)
While it is not shown doing so in either film, it is implied that the solar panels rotate with respect to the space station, presumably to maximize solar exposure (Check the arrows). Scale for this station can be figured out either by using the shuttle as reference (Though note how it is docked! (See also below.)) or by comparing the component I marked with an arrow with an actual ISS component.
A further film featuring a space-station 'Def-Con IV' was going to be added to this request, but will be held pending until I can get a good shot of the entire space station which looks a little like [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1799]ARAAG[/ame].
