I have a list of over 300 movies that have Mopars (and AMC) vehicles featured.  From my list I have extracted the following which have "wingcars".
I challenge anyone to find additional movies I may have missed. 
At this point I think I have done your research for you.....(LOL)

1.   CARS (Animation)  (2006):  '70 Superbird 
2.   Darkling (2000): "69 Belvedere w/Superbird Wing
3.   Dazed and Confused (1993):  '70 Superbird
4.   Expert Witness (1996): '70 Superbird
5.   Fast & Furious  (2013): '69 Daytona "Custom"
6.   Finish Line  (2005):  '70 Superbird
7.   Gone in 60 Seconds  (2000):  '70 Superbird
8.   Joyride to Nowhere  (1977):  "69 Daytona "Big Willies"
9.   One Way to Valhalla (2009):  '70 Superbird
10.   Truck Turner  (1974):  1968 "Super Charger" w/ Daytona Nose
11.   Two Lane Black Top  (1971):  '69 Daytona "Big Willies"

Keep in mind that some movies such as Gone in 60 Seconds and even Two Lane Black Top, the Wingcars are on the screen for only a few minutes

Enjoy!

I seen a tv show in the 80's, something like Chips  or some other 1 hour drama show that showed a Daytona or Superbird sitting in a Junkyard in the background. LEON.

There are a few quick shots of C500's near the beginning of "Winning" staring Paul Newman during the NASCAR Race.  The entire movie was really a Ford Promotion......
