Also in Do the Right Thing, Lee's character, Mookie, has an argument with a white Italian coworker who's being racist. He points out that the dude's favourite musician is Prince, but he adamantly pretends to like Bruce better.

Was just watching Striptease(1996) and the girl mentions him and strips to If I was your girlfriend

"Summer Lovers"..."Sexy Dancer" is being played in the background. "Waitng To Exhale".."Head" is being played loudly in the club scene.

Brown Sugar.... Adore.

Damn - you got the one I was going to say because I figured no one would know it. It was a cool reference in a terrible movie.

The Breakfast Club:

Christian Slater's "Pump Up the Volume". If I remember correctly, early in the film the camera scans over his "collection", and you can see his copy of The Black Album (on cassette). Am I misremembering?

John Ritter as Prince in Stay Tuned

OMG Thank you so much for this!! I have an extremely vague memory of this in the back of my mind, but I had no hope of ever figuring out what it was.

Romeo Must Die 1999, Aaliyah has a Prince Purple Rain poster in her room.

What is more, one of the body guards sees the poster and deduces that Aaliyah's character must be a freak (in bed) an he does the ooh waah, from memory. (correct me if i am wrong.)

Risky Business has "DMSR" playing during the party scene.

The movie "Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th" (2000). It's a scary movie parody that actually came out about the same time as "Scary Movie." It's a high school setting and the principal of the school is supposed to be Prince who is played by Coolio. The movie is corny as hell with some moments, but I liked the Prince segments.

Coolio wears a purple suit and fedora and his principal's office is decorated Prince style with purple drapey curtains and guitars hanging on the wall and a hot tub, etc. In one scene, he sits in the hot tub and flips through the surveillance cameras in the school. One camera shows the teacher's lounge (I believe) and they're performing a satanic ritual and sacrifice lol. He skips over it like it's business as usual lol.

The Wild Life, "Dirty Mind" (of all things!) being played during a party scene.

And strangely (and randomly), Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones also appears in that scene.

Breaking the rules and mentioning a show, not a movie. New Girl (before he was on the show).

Fell out laughing when I saw it

Sandra Bernhard in "Without You I'm Nothing"..She strips to "L.R.C"....I also recall a movie with Rebecca De Mornay singing "L.R.C" with a band..("The Slugger's Wife"?)...and "Gett Off" was played in a strip club scene in the horror movie "Innocent Blood".

I'm sure there's a Bruce Willis film that references 'Soft & Wet'. He's sat across a table chatting with his woman.

Unless i dreamt it.

Nope,
