If I had a bunch of free time in the next few weeks I think I would write a movie about the following character. First day of college a guy goes out of his dorm to see that there is a really cool guy, who spent his whole summer learning how to play acoustic guitar. It's 1996. He knows how to play More Than Words, In Your Eyes, Elderly Woman. All these great songs, and he doesn't really play them well, but the women fall all over him. So our observer guy asks his over protective parents for a guitar for Christmas. We cut to Christmas and he gets it. He spends his entire Christmas break trying to learn how to play the guitar. Unfortunately since he is a bit dorky he gets back to college and its the middle of winter and he only knows how to play the Cure, REM, Blind Melon, Savage Garden, and the theme from Macgyver. One shy girl who spent her first semester trying to figure out what it takes to have boys notice her befriends him and they fall in love. Then however in the late Spring he become a hit because he learns how to play the Macerena and the Fugees and is invited to all the "cool" parties. The women want him, and he starts treating his dorkmate rudely. Then however one night as he is at a party he comes to his sense and across campus he runs until he gets to her dorm room guitar and hand and heroically plays her music that wins her back.

There is only a matter of time before 90's nostalgia comes back and I want to be there ready.
