Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover making out in “Beloved” still gives me shivers.

**Oldboy**

A guy in his early 40’s gets out of prison after 15 years, and then hooks up with this college girl, not realizing at first that she’s his daughter.

Umm…

Weren’t they both HYPNOTIZED???

Geex, I can’t believe I forgot this. It was only 11 days ago that it was all over the cable. How about **The Quiet Man** with John Wayne proving his love for Maureen O’Hara by dragging her home from the train station. Just as yucky is the reprise of the sequence in **McClintock**

I’ve known several women (normal girl-next-door-types) who think that john wayne sceen is the greatest thing

Not only that, but he was her stepbrother too. Yikes!

Actually, her ex-stepbrother.

Anyway, _Clueless_ is an adaptation of _Emma_. In Austen, marrying your first cousin with whom you’ve grown up as a sibling is perfectly acceptable (_Mansfield Park_).
