Let My Love Open the Door ... to your movie

So this song popped into my head just now, and I started wondering: How many music soundtracks is this song on. A lot, I bet.

According to IMDB, the song was used in the following films:
• Dan in Real Life
• Jersey Girl
• Along Came Polly
• Mr. Deeds
• Grosse Pointe Blank
• Look Who's Talking

But two other songs kept popping up on Mr. Townshend's entry.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" has appeared in a whopping 14 movies, tv shows and video games (Rock Band). It's the theme song to "CSI: Miami" and was featured in an episode of "The Simpsons. This is also not counting any Who specials or documentaries.

Baba O'Reilly (not "Teenage Wasteland") has had nine appearances on the big and small screen (no video games), including the theme for "CSI: New York."

Both "Baba" and "Fooled" are on the soundtrack to "Summer of Sam."

And now you know.
