[MOVIE]Romy & Michele's High School Reunion

[SONG]The Eurythmics' "Would I Lie to You"

[HEARD IN TRAILERS FOR]Romy & Michele's High School Reunion; Liar Liar; Krippendorf's Tribe

[MUSICAL SIGNIFICANCE]Lyrically literal pop staple that tells you this film--usually a comedy--has something to do with (surprise!) lying. "It's good for setting up a theme of deception or betrayal, which obviously continues to be a major plot in movies," says Duvall.

[MOVIE][South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]

[SONG]Carl Orff's "O Fortuna," from the composer's Carmina Burana

[HEARD IN TRAILERS FOR]South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut; Braveheart; Cliffhanger

[MUSICAL SIGNIFICANCE]Overblown medieval-like chanting continually flogged for heart-swelling dramas--except when employed subversively, as in South Park. "Ten years ago, I said, 'No more Carmina Burana!'" says David Sameth, DreamWorks' live-action creative ad chief. "It's so overused."
