Going-to-the-Sun Road is shown in the opening credits of the 1980 film The Shining, as aerial flybys of Wild Goose Island and the protagonist's car traveling along the north shore of Saint Mary Lake, through the East Side tunnel and onward, going to a mountain resort hotel for his job interview as a winter caretaker.

The road is also seen briefly in the 1994 film Forrest Gump.
As Forrest reminisces with Jenny he remembers running across the U.S. and remarks, "Like that mountain lake.
It was so clear, Jenny.
It looked like there were two skies, one on top of the other."
The shots in the background are Going-to-the-Sun Road and Saint Mary Lake.
