John Lennon said if the Beatles had stayed together through the 70s they would've ended up sounding like ELO

ELO had a much richer production value, though, in their songs. The Beatles always felt under-produced to me.
ELO's sound could be poured over popcorn it was so buttery smooth.

Just saw the Billy Madison clip of him calling and apologizing to Steve Buscemi and never noticed that ELO's "Telephone Line" was the song in the scene..
Honestly didn't know that was possible. Pretty much the first thing I think of when thinking about that scene.

This.
Add to that any movies based in the 70’s that do not have an ELO tune in their soundtrack are not authentic. Lol
I hear ELO and immediately feel like I am 5 years old on a road trip with my parents to Louisiana. Riding in the back with ZERO seatbelts nearby.

Because Jeff Lynne is the bomb!

Great use of ELO in Ozark as well.
Was fortunate to catch “Jeff Lynne’s ELO” tour a few years ago. Fantastic. You can sense his Beatles obsession throughout ELO’s catalogue, but nothing wrong with that.

Every time we hear this song, I tell my wife it’s about her.
It is an awesome song, though.

ELO songs kind of are little movies.
This. Their songs are grand, orchestral, and dramatic on their own. It almost seems like someone made a movie to go with the song rather than the other way around. Really needs another live tour. Top of the Pops Nightrider

'There was one song that writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson really wanted to use for the end credits: "Livin' Thing" by Electric Light Orchestra, but the band's frontman, Jeff Lynne, stood in the way.
”Jeff said, ‘I have two young daughters, and I have a problem with sex and violence in movies. Should I see this?’" Anderson recalled to Entertainment Weekly. So Anderson set up a screening with the song in its place.
"Paul was just sort of watching the back of his head while he was watching the movie," Michael Penn, who scored the film, told Grantland. "Then the film ends, and “Livin’ Thing” comes on and Paul just sees both Jeff Lynne’s arms shoot up triumphantly."
”He said, ‘I don’t like sex and violence in movies, but this is the most brilliant ****in’ movie ever!”’ Anderson recalled.'
Off-topic, but for the same reason of being worried about the film's subject matter, the funk-disco group Heatwave wouldn't let PTA use their song 'Boogie Nights' for the movie. It's a great Rod Temperton (Thriller, Michael Jackson, etc.) track, the longer version starts and ends with strings / harp, would have been brilliant for the movie. Heatwave - Boogie Nights

Because it's music has a heavy symphonic element which translates well for movies

Just put this connection together. Good call!

ELO was sort of what would have happened if you crossed The Beatles with Opera.
Tight pop songs with a wide sound and theatrical or operatic scope. Perfect recipe for use in film.

Damn, you beat me to it. "Fire on High" is one of the best instrumentals in my book.

because ELO was a fricking kickass band.
Mr Blue Sky at the opening of Guardians 2 and in Role Models was great use of it.

ELO was the soundtrack to my elementary school years back in the mid-late 70’s. Always loved them and still jam them all the time. Very nostalgic for a very cool era in American culture.
