The song was used in a rather unusual context in the film 1408, adapted from an short story by Stephen King, marking a beginning of a horrible experience the protagonist had to come through. It was also used as the closing song in the 2000 gay ensemble The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy, performed by Mary Beth Maziarz. This song was featured as the end of the Australian film The Castle, which was sung by Kate Ceberano. The song was also played in John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, heard when the protagonist has been committed to an insane asylum. The song can be heard playing through the speakers in the halls of the asylum. The song was also sung by Carl Weathers in the motion picture Happy Gilmore, and was featured in the film version of Starsky & Hutch.

Famous quotes containing the word cinema:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
—Frederico Fellini (1920–1993)
