Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the world's most famous and influential composers of classical music. His music has been played all over the world for over 180 years. Even if you've never been in a concert hall, if you've seen a movie, any movie, in your life, chances are you've heard music by Beethoven. Though it would be next to impossible to list every movie that makes use of Beethoven's music, I've compiled a pretty extensive list for you. If I've missed a movie, let me know by leaving a comment!
