Well that might work, but it was done by Tom Hanks in that lame-ass movie "You've Got Mail." Which is actually a paralell story to Pride and Prejudice. Personally, my favorite such movie is that one with Alicia Silverstone, Clueless. It was the same story as Austen's "Emma" only set in modern Beverly Hills.
Um...okay, here goes, pure shame here: there is song being played on the radio a lot now. "Hate is a strong word..." Don't know who it is by. I'll hate it by the end of the month, but right now, I like it. God help me, that riff is just infections as hell.
It's the "Plain White T's" (Scary and embarrassing that I know that!)

LOL you really should be ashamed! heh... but I know what you mean. I think someone sits down and writes up as many riffs as they can and then does scientific studies to see how many people get "ear-worms" from the riffs. That night I spent on Ponce with a flat tire, that song went through my head the whole fucking night. Drove me batshit, it did. It's nothing more than a stupid guy whining about his girl leaving him but for some reason it works more than most emo songs.
Movies: cheesy 80's comedies. The cheesier the better! Better Off Dead makes me laugh my head off to this day. "This is PURE SNOW! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain would be!!!"
What about "Can't Buy me Love" or "My Boyfriend's Back" or "Once Bitten"? Or the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer?"
I have to also admit now that I really got into the Buffy series back when it was still on (not reruns). It was fucking cheesy as hell with the crappy FX but somehow they kept you watching.

I will think of more.

Right on. Never saw YGM. That's actually a secret method handed down from generation to generation of men. :D The Alliance did P&P last season. I should've gone...but didn't.

It could be about ass-raping the elderly for all I know. I heard it a couple weeks ago and I've had that riff stuck in my head ever since. That's quality hookage right there.

I actually laughed my ass off at the movie. The scene where they staked Paul Reubens cracked me up. The show...meh. I don't care much for non-animated television.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin!

The only reason they're a guilty pleasure (besides that they're almost as cheesy as Cinderella) is that they still play shows.

Guilty Movies: The Producers

Guilty Music: PUSA, Silverchair (and pretty much any other one-hit 90s band), any cheesy power metal band

Christ Illusion. This isn't so much a guilty pleasure in the traditional sense, but a guilty pleasure because I keep listening to it, even though I hate it, in hopes that some day it will sound like Slayer.

I have a soft spot for reggae - Dubconscious, Marley, Augustus Pablo, Easy-Star All-Stars (reggae interpretations of Dark Side of the Moon and OK Computer) as well as classic rock like Zeppelin, Floyd, Styx (Renegade is the best song ever), Petty, etc.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.
