Not a movie, but a mini-series:

In Netflix's Marvel's Daredevil, episode 6, we first see the reporter (Ben... Urich?) using a pack of red bikes to map out who the players are in the recent events in Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil is represented by the Jack of Hearts, and the shadowy criminal mastermind (who he does not realize yet is Wilson Fisk) is represented by the King of Diamonds. The King of Diamonds is the first subtle reference that the story makes to the idea of "the Kingpin."

These cards are seen again in two subsequent episodes.

I'm still waiting for the modern remake. It's quite overdue IMO. Love the original. I just think they need to remake it.

How can I forgot this movie... At the opening scene of Ghostbusters, Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) study on the effects of negative reinforcement of ESP with students. The experiment was cut short when Dr. Ray Stantz interrupted them to take Dr. Venkman to the New York City Public Library to investigate the Library ghost.

Don't have a screenshot, but Elementary S05E20 (last night) has a scene 23 min in with Holmes on the floor with oodles of Tally-Hos. Amongst those are a black set I recently sold for this scene. So, that was neat.
