Oh man, these JC Penny Oscar ads are very good.

It has a beautiful song by a 60s band (Zombies!), and its really charming. Also, watch it again, and this time pay attention to the background people.

It's a very well-made, clever commercial. There are only two shots I didn't get, I can't put on finger on it; these are bothering me (the first shot of the woman and the guy holding the stereo). I figured out the rest of the movie homages.

May be others can start listing the ones they got here...

By the way, don't look at the comments on the YouTube page. Not all of them are right (stupid contemporary movies), but they do spoil half of the fun of guessing.

By the way, Mad, that second video you posted...I'm sure that entire sequence is based on a similar brilliant and magical and romantic scene in "The Fisher King," Gilliam's best film after "12 Monkeys."

Infact, that's my recommendation of the week. Go watch "The Fisher King" immediately.

The guy with stereo is John Cusack from Say Anything.

Cheers, Kaytee.

Anyone cracked the *first* shot of the woman looking into the shop window?

What about the other homages?

[kaytee]

I think I saw Titanic, Superman Returns and maybe As Good as it Gets when the guys who starts Singin In the Rain they show is foot steps like they showed Jack's when he walks on the roads in that movie.

1. <<woman at window>> : no idea
2. Singing in the Rain
3. Some Like It Hot
4. <<"I'm walking here">> : no idea
5. Birds
6. <<Biker Boys>> : no idea
7. <<Man with Stereo>> : no idea if not for kaytee's guess
8. Mary Poppins
