Okay, First Kid is on in the background (it was on after a movie I was watching), and Sinbad is dressed up as a giant cup of Coca-Cola. I thought "God, that's the most obvious product placement EVER!"
Anybody got something worse?

"State Property"- They wear almost nothing but Roca-Wear the entire movie and Armadale Vodka is shown alot too.

Happy Gilmore does a freakin' Subway commercial! It doesn't get much more obvious than that!

All I could think of was Waynes World where they're advertising Pepsi, Nuprin, Pizza Hut, and Doritoes.

Don't know if it's the most blatant, but it's the first one I really noticed.
Bloodwork - When they are watching camera footage of a murder in a convenience store and comparing the time to a 911 call, the shot is composed of the tv screen dominating little over half of the screen, and to the right, several stacks of Heineken beer.

Not overly blatant, but Puma and Coke were both prominent in Mindhunters
i remember mac's being so prominent in Mission Impossible that it was funny - - also, while i loved Syriana i couldn't help but notice blackberry's were insanely prominent in every scene

I think in every movie it's prwetty obvious. I really don't think too much of it. I wonder how many people it influences to buy that product?
hmm, let me just check my shopping list:
coke
roca-wear and armadale vodka,
subway,
pepsi, nuprin and doritoes
heineken
pumas
a new imac and a blackberry -
hmm, so no they have no effect

How could I forget Minority Report? It wasnt a bad movie, but hell half of it was a glorified commercial break [That whole sequence in the mall? Please!]
I think Visa was the most blatant in that one...

The Attack of the Killer Tomatos movies. The pepsi logo on the labcoat and the 4 wheeler thing... priceless!

Men in Black 2, they're all eating Burger King throughout the entire movie. I think there was a BK joint in their headquarters and shit, too.
God, what a crap flick.

Havent bothered to see Hitch, but I thought I, Robot was decent. Mindless, but enjoyable
