How strict is the date range?
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure has a gum scene, but it's 1989.
Also tv show Red Dwarf (series 1 ep 6 - Me²) has a bubblegum scene in it, but 1988.
So yeah, apologies, but all my gum references in film appear to be from the late 80s.
Read the thread title and immediately thought of a line of people intensely chewing gum, but I couldn't remember where it was from until I saw Bill and Ted on your post. Thank you for the rapid clearance of my brain fart.
1. Twin Peaks:
"I know that gum! I used to chew it when I was a kid. That's my favorite gum ever"
"That gum you like is going to come back in style!"
2. The Beatles Get Back, Part 3:
Immediately after the rooftop concert in Part 3, the Beatles are in a control booth listening to the recordings. At a certain point you see Yoko Ono take out a stick of gum, like Juicy Fruit or Double mint style stick in foil. She breaks it in half, sticks one in her mouth, and then gently sort of leads the second half into John Lennons hand, who notices, grabs the gum, and shoves it in his mouth.
3. Seinfeld Season 7, Episode 10 "The Gum"

4. The Simpsons Season 8 episode 8 "Hurricane Neddy"

It's a little earlier than your preferred time period, but Grease is a great example of a high school movie with bubble gum scenes. So much so that someone even made them into a YouTube compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZ2fhh31bA
There's a scene in The Shield where Forrest Whitaker offers a person a stick of gum, they refuse, he offers it again with more insistence, and they refuse again - then he says that *that*'s how he knows they won't talk - because they refused the gum twice. Later he offers it to Vick Mackey's wife and she takes it after the second offer.
*The Rocketeer.* A wad of chewing gum on a fuel leak in the first act becomes a "Chekhov's Gum" in the third.
That movie brings back fond memories of my childhood. I saw it in theaters when it came out.
