Once you know about this little theory, it's hard to look at certain movies the same way. It's true, though: If a movie shares its name with a popular song, the chances are it's not very good. There are some exceptions, as there are with everything, but the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence suggests that if you use a popular song title for a movie title, the movie's bad.

Why is that? It probably has more to do with the screenplay sucking out loud and the title being changed so that it has some built-in warm fuzzy with the audience. The rules are different if you're talking Against All Odds because, obviously, the song wasn't a hit before the movie came out. But movies that reach back, even a couple of years, and glom onto something else that's popular have very little chance for success.

Among the other movies that received votes this week were Fly Me to the Moon, Drive Me Crazy, the Reese Witherspoon tandem of Sweet Home Alabama and Just Like Heaven, My Girl, One Fine Day, Simply Irresistible, Can't Buy Me Love and its remake Love Don't Cost a Thing, Problem Child, Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (an excellent pick), Save the Last Dance, Love Potion #9, Unforgettable, and Feeling Minnesota, which isn't a song title but rather a lyric from Soundgarden's "Outshined."
