The other day I was checking out the wikipedia entry on Arrested Development and noticed a listing of the various movies that had featured songs form either AD or Speech. I was familiar with a few of them of course, but I realized that there were quite a few that I wasn't. So let's break each film down with the song used, with thanks to imdb.
Malcolm X - "Revolution" of course. We had some of the remixes featured here. Pops up on all of the greatest hits packages and as a bonus track to 3 Years and Unplugged in some markets.
Boomerang - "Man's Final Frontier", the introduction to 3 Years... Seems like kind of an odd song to feature in a film, and I'm not really sure how it's used. I'd be interested to see where this pops up as I've only seen bits and pieces of this one.
Bebe's Kids - The song on this was "Oh No" which was featured here. Billed as an Arrested Development song, this was basically an instrumental piece. I assume it was used as background music or as part of the score, but I'm not really sure. This did not appear anywhere else that I am aware of.
Reality Bites - "Give a Man A Fish" was used here. My wife owns this movie but I've never seen it...
Definitely Maybe - "People Everyday" pops up in this one as well as "Everyday People," the song that AD sampled.
Warriors of Virtue - The very good Speech cover "Beautiful Morning." This did not appear on any Speech albums, but we had it here.
Whipped - "Real Love" by Speech. I will never be seeing this one, but I'm glad that Speech was able to pickup a paycheck from it!
Oddly, I have not seen a single film listed here, although I've been intending to see Malcolm X for some time. Anyway, basically we have three new songs that popped up on soundtracks and a host of previously released songs used.
