Off the top my head, I would have to say:  
Beethoven’s 1812 Overture, I cant here that without thinking of _Caddyshack_  
The Girl from Ipanema, that will forever be the song playing in the elevator scene of _The Blues Brothers_

FTR, Bale is 38, and was 26 when AP came out, so…yeah, he looks older (still good, but, older).

Stanley Kubrick did this a lot.

“Thus Spake Zarathustra” and “The Blue Danube” in _2001_.  
“Singing in the Rain” and “The William Tell Overture” in _A Clockwork Orange_.  
“The Mickey Mouse Club” in _Full Metal Jacket_.
