Correct me if I'm wrong, but ELO never did a score or soundtrack for a movie did they? If they didn't, why in the name of Jeff Lynne were they not used for this purpose? I listen to their 70s material (far superior than the 80s material) and they could have pumped out some great scores or at least tracks been used on movies (especially of 70s period films). Honestly, the only one I can think of is Living Thing on Boogie Nights (and it's fantastic)...I'm sure Mr. Blue Sky or Evil Woman has been used in a movie, can anyone help me out?

Evil Woman is on Saving Silverman.  The part where she escapes and is beating the guys up.  Probably not the best use for the song, but it's there.  Showdown is put to better use in Kingpin

Evil Woman was also in Austin Powers in Goldmember... And like the Don said, XANADU!! My mom used to have the soundtrack when I was a little kid.
