SR-71 Blackbird

Besides being an astoundingly capable aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird is also remarkably beautiful. This Smithsonian article (h/t: Jason Kottke) mentions that a Blackbird was featured in the new Transformers film.

I prefer its appearance as an inspiration for the J-Type 327 Nubian Royal Starship in the Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace:
