Yeah, Placebo's songs have featured in a couple of films:
Every You Every Me - Cruel Intentions
20th Century Boy - Can't remember lol
English Summer Rain...probably my all-time favourite Placebo song, well the new version is anyway. In the version that was on the ESR singles and on Once More With Feeling, while Brian is singing 'Start Again, Start Again' over and over again, there is also a voice in the background whining much like The Bitter End. This voice is saying something like:
'And I can't sleep without
Your breathing
And I can't breath each
Time your leaving
Please...you won't stay away
Won't you come back
to me someday...'
To me, this is implying that the guy they are singing about (presumably Brian) has just been dumped by a girl and has tried to live without her, but that his life is empty, bland and 'routine' since she has left, and he can't accept that she has gone. In the end, he resorts to telling himself that she hasn't gone forever and will come back to him one day.
In the animated video (which doesn't actually have anything to do with Placebo themselves, it was made by a South African college student), there is a quick shot of the guy with a red-headed girl laying on top of him. This is the memory of her he is having.

Again, just my interpretation...
20th Century Boy is featured in the movie "Velvet Goldmine" and featured the band themselves
