* ''Boléro'' by Music/MauriceRavel--Possibly he film's most famous sequence, where a soda bottle left on a wasteland creates an evolution of bizarre creatures in a parody of The Rite of Spring from ''Fantasia''. It was frequently used as filler on HBO in the 1980s (so the next movie would start at the top of the hour).
