Don't know if a list like this has been compiled before, but I made a top 10 list of media the Falcon has appeared in. Probably the last Falcon-related thing out of my system now (until last4 auction coverage I guess). Hope you like it.

Some things I would like to contribute:
Swerve had an explosive end to an AU Fairlane. The Brock telemovie just shown had a baby blue Falcon GT chasing him down. The Day After Tomorrow has a Falcon or two dressed up as NYC taxis in a flood scene. Death Race 2 had EF and EL Fairmonts dressed up as LAPD-style cop cars.

My missus watches Home and Away and I've noticed a number of Falcons in it.
And no, I don't watch it.

Rush (Melbourne cop show from a few years ago) was supplied by Ford, I think.
Watching The Streets of San Francisco is always interesting for a Ford fan since almost all the cars are seventies Fords of some kind - Galaxie, LTD, Thunderbird, Mustang, etc. Must have had an exclusive supply contract for the studio. Bluey (aka Bargearse) often featured Valiants. Don't forget The Professionals for Ford Capris!

There was a falcon in Bullet, don't know if it was passed as many times as the little beetle was in the chase scene.

In a carpark scene of Pay It Forward, I spotted a Territory in the background.

Idiot Box, they steal a xa wagon and do circle work on an oval in it. Got some neat old chopper and dragster pushbikes in it too...

There's a pretty filthy XT Falcon in Romper Stomper. It's so bad that it's almost good.

Love the Stomper XT, has cool character.
Drive Hard is a fairly poor movie, but has an corker of a XA GT Hardtop in it.

I am pretty certain there was more than a couple of falcons got blown up in one of Tom Cruises' mission impossible movies too. I think it was the second one.
