Maybe not in movies, but the Ondes Martenot have a good history of use in classical music: Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila-symphonie being probably the best-known instance.
I was lucky to see the late lamented Jeanne Loriod perform as the Ondes-Marteniste in this at the Royal Festival Hall in the early-80s. |
I wish I had been there! Interestingly, the character on Futurama called "Leela" is named from that piece by Messaien - her full name is "Turanga Leela".
