The music of Carmina Burana, particularly the famous "O Fortuna" movement, appears in several movies and commercials and has been covered and sampled by many bands.
Excalibur the movie (John Boorman, 1981), pioneered the use of O Fortuna in media before this had become a cliché. Subsequently, O Fortuna was used in such diverse films as The Doors, Glory, The Hunt for Red October and Natural Born Killers, as well as in television commercials, such as those for Capital One credit cards.
