"Baby It's Cold Outside" can go either way for me. Some versions just make the dude seem really skeevy, but others manage to make it sound like it's all playful banter between the two.
When you take into account the context surrounding the song when it was written (in the 40s), it being playful banter makes most sense, imo. It was a time when people would *talk* if the woman stayed over, if they did anything scandalous. She *wants* to say yes, but she has to at the very least put up a pretense of saying no due to the way women were viewed back then - she even says she *should* be saying no due to things like what the neighbors will think, but she doesn't.
I do agree that some interpretations of the music by various singers can make it sound a LOT skeevier than it should be, though.
I think it's a song you can enjoy listening to guilt-free as long as you recognize why it's written how it is.

I once saw (part of?) a Batman film being filmed. There were a bunch of people crowding around trying to get their picture taken next to a Gotham City PD car that was down the side
I remember being pleasantly surprised when I noticed a coffee shop that was about a half-hour's drive from my house in a scene in the first Kick-Ass film.
Unfortunately, the coffee shop has since been closed down and demolished.

That was one of my favorite childhood movies!
