Julia Roberts sang KISS in PRETTY WOMAN. Prince wrote some songs specifically for SHOWGIRLS. 319 is in the movie. Did you notice that Gina Gershon is staying in room 319 of the hospital?

Ever notice that on Weird Science, Prince's name isn't listed in the credits.
This is what is listed:

"PRIVATE JOY"
Performed by Cheyne
Produced by Greg Phillinganes and Jimmy Iovine
Vocals produced by Louil Silas Jr.
hmmm

Yeah but have you heard the vocal stylings of Latoya Jackson's version of Private Joy. I actually bought her album just so that I could have it. It's a really old album.

There's a funny Prince line in "Shaun Of The Dead". Also, Nasty Girl is in Beverly Hills Cop (the strip club scene). I'm sure there's quite a few others... but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Let's not forget the SCARY MOVIE scene, in which Carmen looks in the porch to see her boyfriend tied up, whom I thought when I first saw this movie was going to be Dennis Rodman, but it turned out to be Prince (impersonator). lol

I think the movie is called Girl 6 by Spike Lee. They play all of P's music through out the movie.

DO the Right Thing - John Tuturro's racist character is arguing with Spike's character about how there are no black people worth admiring. Among others, Spike says, "Who's your favorite singer? Prince! He's black!" I think John's character tries to deny it, or say he's half-Italian or something and Spike repeats, "Back, he's black!" or something. ANy1 remember the exchange?

Does the 0(+> symbol in Fargo's credits count?

What about Good Love in Bright Lights, Big City?

Also in Showgirls there's a club scene (I know there's many) and you can hear Ripopgodazippa in the background.That was in 1995 before it was even officially released in Crystal Ball 3 years later.

'Showgirls' is a classic! Best scene: Special Agent Dale Cooper gets fucked in the whirl-pool! Man, that shit was so cool! eek
