In Ocean’s 11 (2001), the first and last time we see the crew all in one place they’re gathered around a water feature while Clair de Lune plays in the background.
The movie ending with them all filtering away one by one is certainly ons of the most famous scenes to use the song, but I had never realized it’s playing quietly in the background when they all meet.
I never noticed it during the scene by the pool either.

For any sketch writers looking for ideas, I would quietly smirk at a bit about 2 of the guys from the crew peeling off at the same time and awkwardly realizing they parked in the same direction so it isn’t goodbye just yet.

That moment when it switches from the solo piano version to the orchestral arrangement… 🤌
Most unforgettable moment of the film for me. May the brilliant legacy of Debussy live on forever.

Good catch with the song. One nit to pick though… the ending scene there doesn’t have the entire crew. Danny was arrested at this point, so there’s just the 10 of them watching the fountain.
