I Love TV Ads – Virgin

Forty-six of the songs used, over the last couple of years, to sell us shit. A work of undeniable postmodern genius in itself, then. But does it function? In the case of KFC's selections, yes. So soulfully orgasmic are Laura Greene's "Moonlight, Music And You", The Chi-Lites' "What Do I Wish For?" and Jackie Wilson's "Who Who Song" that you'd gladly eat the food to be near them.

The Nutty Professor

Jerry Lewis comedy from 1963 in which he transforms Dr Jekyll-style from a geeky chemistry professor into a hip-but-obnoxious cabaret singer - fairly obviously based on Dean Martin - in order to woo Stella Stevens. It's gently likeable, and Lewis' most watchable movie this side of The King Of Comedy.
