The Cruise

(1998, dir Bennett Miller)

Grainy documentary shot in black and white about Timothy Levitch, a guide on Grayline's New York double deck tours. Much of the footage is shot aboard the buses, Bristol VRTSL3s with Eastern Coachworks bodies originating in the UK.
We see Grayline 213 (originally West Riding 917 (TWR467W, new in 1981)) passing another VRT:
