Most blatant product placement ever?
DRINK COCA COLA
... right in the audience's face
I like how they didn't even try to be subtle.
And at 1/28th of a second, too!

Some things fit the movies they're in; Forrest Gump's love of Dr. Pepper, the dinner at Taco Bell in Demolition Man, "Wilson" in Castaway... holding the shot on the soda machine door was about as subtle as a baseball bat to the head.
shareNothing tops the Pepsi One scene in "Thomas Crown Affair" - they effectively stop the movie for a commercial.

As far as recent ones, in Avengers: Age of Ultron there is this huge battle going on and they cut to Black Widow and Hawkeye driving around for thirty seconds in a brand-new Audi convertible.
shareMy favorite product-placement movie of all time is "Moonraker," in which every action sequence seems to end with a "Fly British Airways" punchline, as a car goes through their billboard, etc.
shareHaha, yes!
That was hilarious.
Could only have been topped if there'd been no water outside and after he'd opened the door, he'd pulled an ice dripping bottle from the fridge, slowly drunk it down and declared "Amazing!"
The Philadelphia Experiment also has quite a bit of soft drink product placement.
Don't get me started on Mac and Me...!
"Moonraker," with its endless blatant product placements is still my favorite.
