My argument is that there wasn't really a distinction between "prestige" and "low-brow" before cable.

There's certainly a soft spot in my heart for the use of "Beautiful Day" in Bandits.

Wow, this place is great!

Would ghost cunnilingus fly in a PG-13 movie? Because if not, I'm not interested.

And Chuck Berry's inspiration for "Johnny B. Goode" came from Marvin. His cousin . . . MARVIN BERRY!!!

And what a great year it was.

That excuse sphinx to high heaven.
