In terms of overuse, the same could be said for popular song, etc. .....how many times in the movies have we heard "What A Wonderful World", "Just The Way You Look Tonight", "Nessun Dorma", "Spirit In The Sky" and a few more? Talk about limited imagination! No one making a film seems to look past what they previously heard in a film, but instead says "oh I like that tune let's use it in our film too". They don't bother to open their minds to other song possibilities, especially when there are hundreds if not thousands of great songs, American Standards and otherwise that could be used instead, and therefore give the film a "fresh" new/ old sound when the need to use a song is called for.....but not surprising, just the same old same old.
Just to add to this, when film makers want to invoke a feeling of the 1960s, you'll almost inevitably hear, The Zombies' "Time of the Season"....

..and to evoke the 'tumultuous Sixties'...

"Igor lost the copyright. One reason it was used alot!"
IMDB TRIVIA:
"In 1936 Igor Stravinsky sued Warner Bros. over the 'misuse' of his themes from the ballet "The Firebird". In 1938 a French court awarded him one franc in damages, instead of the 300,000 francs he was claiming."
***
Tonight I caught the rest of this strange movie, artfully directed by William Dieterle, but ultimately pretentious, moralistic and muddled. The composer does get his due in the dialogue when a matriarch scolds her daughter for playing a forbidden phonograph record of "The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky," which she claims is "fit only for savages." Which of course many people felt about "The Rite of Spring" at its infamous premiere, but not "The Firebird."
I POSTED A THREAD ON THIS TOPIC.
Find it if you can

Bear McCreary wrote his own classical and opera pieces for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and it worked out great.
Yes, the evidence for Ramin Djawadi being no Bear McCreary is pretty convincing.
Um... You win? (I love them both.)

Don't forget "2001"!
While it may not be (over)used in films anymore, you still hear it in commercials.
Sorry, Richard, we just love it too much not to use it!
Don't get me started!
