please and thank you

The song was song by a group of soldiers in the 1944 movie Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, based on the Doolittle Raid during WWII.

Roy Rogers starred in a 1948 film titled XXXXXXXXX.

The song is played repeatedly in the 1956 movie Giant.[2]

The song is on the soundtrack of Dimitri Tiomkin version of The Alamo, which was nominated for the Academy Awards of Best Music (Original Song) and for Best Music (Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture) in 1961.[3]

Elvis Presley sings it as part of a medley with "The Yellow Rose of Texas" in Viva Las Vegas from 1963.

In Steven Spielberg's 1974 movie The Sugarland Express, as the slow-speed police chase comes into a small town thronged with supporters of the fugitive couple, the marching band is playing "The Eyes of Texas." The score was conducted by John Williams.

As background to an inaugural ball for newly elected president Lyndon Johnson in the opening scene in the movie Path to War.

Sung by Roy Orbison and Hank Williams Jr. to calm a rowdy group at a country-western bar in the film Roadie. Travis Redfish, played by Meat Loaf sings along.

Used as the theme song for both the radio and television versions of Tales of the Texas Rangers.

Sang by a group of children to President John F. Kennedy the morning of his assassination in the film "The Men Who Killed Kennedy".
