In the movie "Little Nicky", when Adam Sandler appears on earth for the 2nd time, he is crossing the road with a dog and a sardar in a black pugh is walking by, and a few minutes later a sardar in a red pugh goes by

In the movie "Loser" the main character is hitting on a girl in the cafeteria of a college. A sardar is sitting behind them studying.

In the movie 'A little Princess' , a movie made after the novel...a Sikh sardar man is a main character, almost a hero who gives her father the support to get rid of his amnesia and takes care of an old man and helps him move on after his father's death.

In the movie 'The English Patient' there is a Sikh from the British army that helps the two 'lovers'

In Tim Allen's movie,"Jungle 2 Jungle" an American Sikh wearing a white turban appears in a scene in central park, dancing with a group of people.

In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" there were several Sikh men spotted. Although the Sikh men were playing bad guys, they still did a good job acting.

In the movie Rush Hour, there is a brief glimpse of a Sikh taxi driver.

In the movie NEXT FRIDAY, there is a sikh sardar sitting on a bench next to his corvette.

In the James Bond movie Octupussy, which takes place in India, there are a bunch of sardars in the streets and there were some fighting on the side of the villian against Bond. It was too bad that there were sardars on the wrong side =(, but it

was nice to also see 'good' sardars on the streets! They did have good fighting scenes though

other english films although made by asians: bend it like beckham, east is east and bhaji on the beach

also a film called my mother india, it won a few awards, talks about 1984 riots

MIB? Nah...just some brown skinned person wearing a turban (lack of facial hair).

the movie , TERMINAL with tom hanks, in theaters right now, has like 10 sardars in it

one is a very good picture which is a direct shot of a sardarji in a nice suit, good pug, and full dhari getting his plane ticket, then tom hanks walks up from behind him

there are so many other shots of Sikh men with full dharis in other background shots, it seems a bit purposely done (which if it is, i am greatful to spielberg)

the good thing is that the entire movie takes place in an airport, with sikhs frequently seen--> leads to decreased fear/ignorance

also, its crazy funny, so go watch it
