Prince songs in movies

Did Prince allow folks to use his songs in movies ?

I am watching Confessions of a Shopaholic and I heard his batman song. I was curious about other movies that feature his songs.

In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts is singing to KIss in the bathtub.

But there is also the music that he allowed in soundtracks...like Girl 6, Bamboozled, Bright LIghts Big CIty, Show Girls (which has 319 and Ripgodazippa), Happy Feet, Batman of course, and I think I might be missing some.

Didn't Baz want him for two songs for "The Great Gatsby?" I am sure we shall hear a lot more of Prince in movies now that the Estate is seeking additional revenue streams.

Private Joy in Hot Dog, The Movie, I think.

Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day
