According to IMDB, Beethoven is credited with 1,301 instances in films, so he does rate a mention. Use of his music goes back to the 1926 Vitaphme Short:
Violin Sonata in A Major, Op. 47
("Kreutzer")
Written by Ludwig van Beethoven
Performed by Efrem Zimbalist Sr. (violin) and Harold Bauer (piano)
One of the most memorable, was his Symphony No. 9 used in "A Clockwork Orange," which I saw on the first Saturday of my Christmas vacation in 1971 at a midnight showing at Filmex in Hollywood. It was my first X-Rated film.
I am getting old.

Here's a whole movie about just one of his works: A Late Quartet (2012) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2shqZIeVBHU I have collected complete specimens from about every noted classical composer (that are in digital format). It is true, Beethoven is number 1 with me. Only one opera, but then I am not into opera. |

I seem to remember something about that: I did see it in a theater, but I can only think of one scene that might have rated this X. |

Beethoven Monty Python style.
Beethoven's Ode to Joy, André Rieu style
Sorry couldn't help this, live from Glastonbury 2016.
Damn old IMDB, I can't look it up anymore, but I remeber that there were silent movies about Beethoven too, thinking of those old piano ladies playing Beethoven...

Kijii - "Midnight Cowboy" was rated X, but I was too young to see it in 1969. I do think my older brother managed to get into that one. I was too young to get into to see "A Clockwork Orange," but I was suppose to be meeting my Film Analysis teacher there but he didn't show. It was a midnight showing at the Hollywood Pacific Theater, which had been the Hollywood Warner in my youth. It was where I saw "The Womderful World Of Brothers Grimm," "How The West Was Won" and "2001" during the ‘60’s. My mother was a little horrified after she read the Time Magazine review, but I don't think I was warped for life from it. That was ten years later when I saw "Caligula"🤪

teleadmThanks especially for the fantastic rendition of Ode to Joy. Turned up the volume and rocked the house. Another version (but not quite as inspirational)
Pythons ...

Favourites -
Soylent Green - Edward G. Robinson dies while listening to the 6th Symphony, 1st movement.
Zardoz - Stuff happens (I'm still trying to figure this movie out) to the 7th Symphony, 2nd movement.
A Clockwork Orange - Alex is a fan of Ludwig, his one redeeming feature.

My mother was a little horrified after she read the Time Magazine review, but I don't think I was warped for life from it. That was ten years later when I saw "Caligula"🤪 When the MPAA's new G-M-R-X rating system was instituted in 1968, the cutoff age was 16; I was 15. When I turned 16, they raised it to 17; when I turned 17, they raised it to 18. Nevertheless, two 17-year-old friends and I boldly presented ourselves in 1970 at the Corbin Theater in Tarzana to see our first X-rated double feature, the first half of which was What Do You Say To A Naked Lady?
We were nervous as hell about being "carded," but we weren't and got in. Ah, how innocent is youth. And yes, the second feature was Midnight Cowboy. |

My first Beethoven was the last movement of the Seventh Symphony conducted by Leonard Bernstein to close one of his Young People’s Concerts. The opening theme made me dizzy. I lost myself in it.
Second and last, we return to the 9th. Japan has an annual event playing the 9th in a stadium that seats a 10-thousand voice choir. Here are the last two minutes.
