While re-watching "Minority Report" recently I was startled to hear a snatch of Billie singing, a song recorded in the thirties. This got me thinking that there is Billie in other films as well "Clueless" ("Do you like Billie Holiday?" "I love him") and "Forever Young", where Billie's "The Very Thought of You" is played more than once.Can anyone think of any other films using Billie Holiday (other than the horrble "Lady Sings the Blues")?
