When product placement is well done.

[Angelus_Darko]

I was thinking about this one last weekend. What do I mean? Situations in which the script/producers/companies did their job right and you bought the product that appears in the film.

In my case, I went to BK for a Whopper after watching Iron Man for the first time and bought the Chuck Taylor's that Will Smith uses in I, Robot.

 

[Lighthouse]

The AK-47, in every 80s action film ever made, and Jackie Brown.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Reese's Pieces in ET.

 

[Sentinel X]

I've never really looked at product placements in movies and go "that was well done!" ....but I do notice when its overtly in your face ala Transformers or the Dodge fantasticar in FF2

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Knock the movie for being bad, but the product placement in the Josie and the Pussycats adaption was done well, as it was an actual part of the plot and a commentary on our society and our "need" for these products.

 

[CrimsonMist]

Wayne's World.

Pizza Hut
Doritos
Reebok
Nuprin
Pepsi

 

[Iron_Stark]

I bought a box of Twinkies after watching Zombieland. I also went looking for some Los Submarinos at a Mexican supermarket.

Hahahah, I don't mean it like that, what I'm trying to say is more like my example with Whopper after Iron Man. That the product appears and it looks so cool or tasty that you fall for it and buy it.
Like Kahram Rasmus says with the Reeses Pieces after watching E.T.

There's a scene in The Road in which the main characters find possibly the last can of Coke in world. It was a scene from the book and really illustrated how the simple, common pleasures can be taken for granted.

all the giant pizza slices in tmnt 2, it always makes me hungry for pizza. also when i see the old dorito bags in older movies i get a craving. subway in coneheads and happy gilmore. taco bell in demolition man.

this isn't product placements but when i saw it i got hungry. caddyshack II dan akroyd making that tortilla full of whatever makes me want a burrito.

[Travesty]

That is the first movie I thought of when I read Product Placement... MY GOSH!!! Every scene! It was a pretty funny movie though... and they actually made the product placement part of the story... so if there is a number 1 product placement movie... it's Josie and the Pussycats.

 

[That-Guy]

I think Wayne's World wins hands down.

But also...

Days of Thunder - Not a great movie, but a brilliant way to do product placement in a movie since it's about stock car racing.

Transformers - Half the movie was pretty much a car commercial for the new Camaro (which I don't mind because that car is awesome).

Back to the Future 2 - Marty orders a Pepsi in the future.

I totally forgot about that one!!! I also got me some Submarinos, I really loved that they got the name right. Looking at old Doritos bags also makes me want to buy some, but I think that the actual ones taste quite different.

Wayne's World. The white Strat Wayne plays in the guitar shop.
