Vampires, junkies and prostitutes, Prince songs on movies.

According to the New York Times, Prince songs are featured on more then 30 movies of their database, from Cheech and Chong films to Vampire movies, but there's a lot of obscure stuff. I know Let's Go crazy it's on the B-movie "Band of the hand" but Can you name every single Prince song of the New York Times Movie database? (beside P own film projects).

The List:

I know some will say to chek the IMDB but stuff like "Sarafina" and "Protocol" are not there. What's a Jaeger? by the way.

I just looked up the soundtrack to Weird Science (I loved that movie when I was a kid) and it says Private Joy by Cheyene.

You can also see Linnea Quigley dancing on the graveyard on the zombie film The Return of the Living Dead (workprint version) on a popular vid site.
