The film Barabbas (1961) included a real solar eclipse during the scene of Jesus Christ's crucifixion.
It was filmed in Italy on February 15, 1961. Director Richard Fleischer delayed the schedule to capture the eclipse and had only one chance to get the shot.
The irony of using Galileo's "heresy" to know exactly when this would happen is sweet.
