Appearances of Prince album covers in movies

I can only think of 2 movies where I have seen P's albums. Ally Sheedy is reading the back of 1999 in the 'Breakfast Club' and in 'Shaun of the Dead' they show Sign of the Times (choosing not to waste it on decapitating zombies instead deciding to throw Batman - very funny part of the movie - to P fans anyway - funnier to P fans who stopped listening after SOTT) Does anybody know of any others?

In the begining of Empire Records (mid-nineties movie) a kid working in a record store picks up an album to put on the turntable.
The record cover is none other than Parade cool thumbs up!
I saw this recently and turned to my girlfriend whom has zero interest in
Prince, and said that is a really great Prince album he's holding.
She did a little shrug and i said it's the one with that song "kiss" on it.
Ohhh, she said, that song that Julia Roberts sings in the tub in Pretty Woman!

I can't think of the name of the movie but it was about a rich girl who was magically turned into someone else. Her rich father didn't even know who she was anymore and she had to become a maid at a record producer's house. She wore a "Purple Rain" T Shirt when she was riding the bus.

In the Pedro Almodovar movie "Live Flesh" ("Carne Trémula"), a character returns to his mother's abandoned old apartment (if I recall played by Penelope Cruz) and there was a torn, weathered "Lovesexy" album cover poster on the wall.

In Tim Burton's version of the Batman movie,
the symbol that Prince used on the Batman soundtrack album cover is peppered thru-out the entire film.





The sadly enough,
this reply the closest that I can ever get to posting a fact-filled enhanced version of a response.
