P.S.: The Worst Misuse of Delibes' 'Flower Duet'

Intro:

Like Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' there are other classical masterpieces
that are misused to create the wanted effect in movies. 'Lakme' is another
masterpiece which is overused in many movies. But ist almost one track of the opera that filmindustries use for gathering the effect. I'm talking about the flower duet (creative commons, underthehome.com). It's written by Léo Delibes and one of the peaks of his work. Which movie or tv-series you have seen contains the worst misuse of Delibes 'Flower duet'? Tell me here.

Rules:

Please only movies or episodes of series, with dates. e.g.: season 1, episode 5, etc.
No documentaries, shorts, or productions rated lower than 5/10 except they're rated by more than 50.000 voters.

I think they are not really necessary, but completing the explanation lines of the options would be good. Maybe you can help me like in the examples. New yt-video for example. And new text in the intro!

FYC, I like how this came out. There are a couple minor punctation and capitalization issues that should be corrected. I incorporated Peter and Jessica notes into this revision too. I like the hyperlinked sound clip, it really helpful. But, poll takers might not know its there, so a note would help, so they won't miss it, ie "The Flower Duet" (sound clip) © UMG/Decca.

Revisions

Like Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons', there are other classical masterpieces that are misused to create the wanted effect in movies. Similarly, 'Lakme' is another masterpiece which is overused in many movies. But one track of the opera is almost always used by the film industry for the "gathering  effect". I'm talking about "The Flower Duet" (sound clip) © UMG/Decca. It was written by Léo Delibes and is considered one of his defining and most well-known works.

Which of these movies or TV series that you have seen contains the worst misuse of Delibes 'Flower duet'? (Instrumental or singing version.)

@urbanemovies​ 

It is intentional that it says "one track of the opera" since the Flower Duet is from the aforementioned opera, 'Lakmé'.

Thank you, Jessica, Peter and urbanemovies for being so interested in this old poll idea. As I stated I got less time at the moment and often need some more time to concentrate on my daily business, because I don't want to burn out. So I have to care for. But I see you want to release this, so maybe tomorrow I got a little time to make that changes. Let's see. Thank you for the interest. :D

@Peter_pbn@Breumaster,

I corrected it back in the text, thanks for pointing that out. I like the musical piece and I am a fan of the poll idea. But, I am not well oversee in opera or its terminology.

FYC, I am not sure if it falls into the "best use" or "worst use" category, The Hunger (1983).
