From Dreamcatcher, near the end:
"We're going to kill the son of a itch, Jonesy says, and reaches for the doorknob. Above it is a sign reading THERE IS NO INFECTION HERE, IL N'Y A PAS D'INFECTION ICI, and suddenly he sees both of that sign's bitter edges. It's like one of those Escher optical illusions. Look at it from one angle and it's true. Look at it from another and it's the most monstrous lie in the universe."

Ok, cool!
There's an Escher homage in the movie

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)

A floor is composed of tesselated tiles which are a copy of one of Escher's tesselations.
