Top five guilty movie pleasures

1. Extended tracking shots
2. Unexpected lesbian scenes (see Mulholland Drive)
3. Before the feature, that damned VW Beetle Convertible commercial with the song "Mr. Blue Sky" playing in the background, which I find inexplicably moving only because I just started working in an office for the first time, I guess
4. Would-be tough-guy Mametese, like James Caan's great line from Way of the Gun: "I promise you a day of reckoning that you won't live long enough to never forget."
5. And of course, V.
