» outsidethebox - Stock footage

I worked in the Motion Picture Business for 30 years so I saw my fair share of stock footage. (As a matter of fact I once worked for Mr 'B' (JAG) on a TV show called 'Airwolf' which is another story.
The use of stock footage probably goes back to the very first films. It seems to me that the use of Stock Footage is an art unto itself. I would guess that's it's use is much more common in TV than in Motion Pictures, but I could be wrong.
Can anyone recall the last bit of stock they saw? Was it in a series or a movie? What was it and what was the name of the series or movie?
