10 Iconic Classical Songs You Only Know Because Of The Movies

7. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik From Batman

Picture yourself walking into a fancy ballroom. Men in fine suits lead women around to dance or admire the decorum. A chandelier hangs above waiters passing out champagne while a string quartet plays music for everyone to enjoy. What do you imagine they€™re playing? Nine times out of ten it€™s going to be Mozart€™s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. That€™s because it has been used so often for films who want to establish such a setting. I€™ve chosen Tim Burton€™s Batman for the header seeing as Bruce Wayne throws those kind of parties, but it can also be heard in Alien, The Bonfire of the Vanities, Nikita and even the comedies There€™s Something About Mary and both Ace Ventura films.
