One of my top ten cinematic moments occurs in the first part of the movie: Nefretiri (played by Anne Baxter) leans over the palace balcony when she spies Charlton Heston approaching and throatily - nay, lustily - shouts, "Moses!" It's my favorite bit of overacting ever. So dig deep and unburden your freshly-won soul in the comment section, o readers: what's your crazy gotta-see-it, gotta-listen-to-it, gotta-just-because guilty pleasure?

Moses!
It's confession time, people. I have a strange compulsion that, whenever Cecil B. DeMille's epic film The Ten Commandments is broadcast on television, I must watch it from title to credits. Of course I've seen it at least a dozen times, but that didn't stop me this weekend.

It is in my video collection, good movie.
I secretly sometimes kinda sorta like listening to NSYNC (but don't tell anybody!)
Drumline. And also Bring It On. And also Annie.
I, like you, look forward to Easter weekend when they broadcast The 10 Commandments. I love the moment when Lillia says "Anything Dathan, anything." Talk about overacting. And I just realized over the weekend, that there are some very funny lines in Mrs Doubtfire-and, slightly off color-Robin Williams saying to Pierce Brosnan-"hope you're wearing cocktail sauce-she has crabs-and we're not talking Dungeness."
Legally Blonde
Paulette: "I'm takin' the dog...Dumb-ass!"
Another Paulette: "So what's this Vivian got that you don't have? Three tits?"
