10 Sure Signs You Are An Utter Film Nerd

Simpsons Fox Fanfare All right, look: everybody in the known universe knows the 20th Century Fox fanfare.

And while most people will likely recognize the Dreamworks, Warner Bros. or Universal fanfares, too, you're the person who can recognize it from the very first note and will instinctively hum along with it. In fact, you're such a weirdo, you'll make the squeaky noises when the "Paramount Vantage" logo comes up.
