The most famous use of it in film is probably for the last scene of Gallipoli: [link]

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Thanks, guys. It must be Gallipoli I'm thinking of. Don't want to watch that again.

It's the one movie that makes me regret being unable to get past the Crazy to re-watch. The rest of Gibson's career I can ignore without a twinge of regret.

The Year of Living Dangerously is pretty awesome though. I have a vivid memory of a speech given by Linda Hunt, when he/she waxes poetic about a Richard Strauss song -- one of the Four Last Songs, I think. Although, it's been something like 15 years since I last watched that film, and I don't know if it'd hold up.
Peter Weir movies were one of my gateways into classical music when I knew next to nothing about it. The Beethoven in Picnic at Hanging Rock -- shiver-inducing stuff. Gallipoli also had that gorgeous duet from The Pearl Fishers.
Weir hasn't really done much recently. I wonder why? Master and Commander was his last great film and that was years ago.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had not realised Gallipoli was so well known outside Australia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking only for myself, I sought it out because I had the mega-hots for Mel Gibson. I swear I hit puberty watching The Year of Living Dangerously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
New Supes. Everything I hear about the story sounds stupid, but the visuals are looking good.
