Insurance at the Movies: An Extensive List of Insurance Companies (Real or Otherwise) That Show Up in Your Favorite Classics

Risk & Insurance® columnist Roger Crombie's obsessive compilation of every film he can remember that mentions an insurance company, real or imagined.
By: | October 22, 2018

In a labor of love — or perhaps obsession — Risk & Insurance® columnist Roger Crombie assembled a list of every film he can remember that mentions the insurance industry. On the list the name of the movie is in bold and the fictional insurance company follows it. Real insurance companies are marked by an asterisk.

The obsession began with a 1998 movie called Bulworth.

Warren Beatty stars as Jay Bulworth, a liberal politician so disillusioned he puts a contract out on himself. Meanwhile, he runs a political campaign based on brutal honesty and delivered in the speech patterns of hip-hop musicians. Eventually, Bulworth takes on the insurance industry, in the shape of Paul Sorvino as Graham Crockett, chairman of the American Insurance Federation, a trade association.

I wrote down the name of the association, in case I could use it in a column at some point. During the movie, a TV ad plays for Fidelity Providence, a fictional insurer. I made a note of that, too.

Intrigued, I later Googled “insurance movies.” Double Indemnity (1944) is probably the best known. After that, whenever a fictional insurance company, broker or association came up in a movie, on a letterhead, door or floor mat, or as a plot device, I made a note of that, too.

Often, I’d have to buy the DVD, and freeze frame the movie in order to capture the exact name. Friends with whom I might be watching were never too pleased, but one of them now acts as a spotter on my behalf. I have ended up discovering almost 100 fictional insurance companies in movies. Until now, I couldn’t think of anything to do with this list of insurance companies in movies. — Roger Crombie
