The 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard" used BWV 565 as a joking reference to the horror genre. The piece has appeared in many more films, including "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1954), in which it is played by Captain Nemo on the organ of the "Nautilus", before the submarine's pitiless and apparently unmotivated attack on a ship. BWV 565 also appeared in Fellini's 1960 "La Dolce Vita". The 1962 film adaptation of "The Phantom of the Opera" used BWV 565 in the suspense and horror sense. It is used "without irony and in an apocalyptic spirit updated from its earlier Gothic implications" at the beginning and end of the 1975 dystopian science fiction film "Rollerball". Shortened to two minutes in length, BWV 565 was used as the introductory theme for the French animation "Once Upon a Time... Man", in 26 episodes between 1978 and 1981.
