Movies and TV
The 1970 documentary film Gimme Shelter, directed by Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin, chronicling the last weeks of the Stones' 1969 US tour and culminating in the disastrous Altamont Free Concert, took its name from the song. A live version of the song played over the credits.
Martin Scorsese has used the song as a signature theme in his crime films Goodfellas (1990), Casino and The Departed (2006), though not in his documentary Shine a Light (2008) about the Stones.
It was also used in the films Air America (1990), The Fan (1996) and Layer Cake (2004).
The song is also used in the trailer for the 2012 Robert Zemeckis film Flight and the ending of the 33rd Person of Interest (TV series) episode titled "Shadow Box".
Gimme Shelter is also the title of a 2012 drama film, starring Vanessa Hudgens.

Famous quotes containing the words movies and and/or movies:
“Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I asked her if she wanted to go to the movies that night. She laughed again and told me that she felt like seeing a Fernandel movie. When we got dressed, she seemed very surprised to see me wearing a black tie and asked me if I was in mourning. I told her that my mother was dead. Since she asked me since when, I answered, “Since yesterday”.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
