Guilty Pleasure - Movie Themes

by **thegreekdog** on Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:56 pm

Obvious ones - Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, Star Wars.

How about some not so obvious ones?

Top Gun

How is the Star Wars theme a guilty pleasure? If you don't like it you're an idiot.

Anything by Williams or Morricone is gold

Would South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut be considered main stream or guilty pleasure?

I eliminated Star Wars as not being a guilty pleasure... moron. Muythaiguy and Symm got it.

Transformers: The Movie.

Great one.

Neverending Story.

Maybe this thread should be titled "Songs from Movies when TGD was in Middle School"

I watched Transformers way too much as a kid. Now that I'm older I justify it as appreciating the work of Orson Welles.

Chariots of Fire.. The intro always was good.

Yes, well...

And I have no excuse for still remembering the code names of virtually every person in that video.

Note - Why is Cobra attacking the Statue of Liberty? Maybe they should have targeted the White House.

That's usually considered a classic theme though, why feel it was a guilty pleasure?

I thought this topic was going to be about movie themes, in the sense of like TGD talking about his love of coming of age films, etc. Disappointed a little.

A main character theme that I continue to like:

I like Rush of Gold, the Ennio Morricone theme that's used in Blueprint. And the theme from Gladiator.

I also like the theme to Road to Perdition, although I wouldn't try to hide that from someone who was browsing my iTunes.

Actually f- it, I wouldn't hide any of them. Haters can hate. I'm shit hot and they know it.

I tend to move around a lot as a student. One of my go-to break the ice games is to play the "guess the movie from its theme" game. I recommend it highly.

No, you said it was an "obvious [one]", where "one" refers to it being a guilty pleasure, because you're associating it with the title, which explicitly states that you will be discussing guilty pleasures.

A guilty pleasure movie theme is like...liking the fucking Notebook's theme or some shit (does it even have a theme? Idk).

LIKING ANYTHING BY MORRICONE IS NOT A GUILTY PLEASURE, IT MEANS YOU LIKE GOOD FUCKING MUSIC

It's a cowboy song with a woman hollering over the top of it. Not exactly Major Lazer.
