Best Film Titles? (Not film quality, purely the title)
- Thread starter BossAttack
- Start date
The audience knowing what's going to happen is a big aspect of the framing of the film. It creates this sense of dread and tragedy as you move forward, knowing who is going to die, and who is going to kill them, so that the entire time Ford is ingratiating himself to James and his game, you're constantly thinking 'this fucker is going to murder him!'. It's incredibly effective and an excellent title.
Although you're holding this up as a good title, so I'm probably missing the joke.
I came in here to say Edge of Tomorrow. :( It's really evocative to me.
Damn right! Love the werewolves in that movie. "Werewolves, not swearwolves!"
The German title of the original is actually one of those rare cases were the translation is actually pretty cool: "5 Zimmer, Küche, Sarg" (5 rooms, kitchen, coffin) which is a neat pun alluding to craigslist style apartment ads (and the German "Sarg" rhymes with the German word for bathroom).
I was once very bored at work and did a detailed review of all Star Wars movie titles:

Star Wars Saga: Best Titles
I am stuck in a long work meeting so I decided to rank the best titles for the Star Wars movies. Just the titles, not the movies.

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
Love the name, also love the film.

Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle [Every man for himself and God against all]
The English title is nowhere near as good.

Tsai Ming-liang's debut film Rebels of the Neon God is a long time favourite of mine.
it's called Rebels of the Neon God.
of course it's a masterpiece.

literally the entire film builds up to the title
I remember when it was announced and people thought it would hurt the film because it didn't have Batman in the title

Oh haha. Now I know why they used that episode title in The Leftovers.
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is a cool title.
I also really like Lynch's titles for Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire. But that's probably because I know the movies already.
I like The Dark Knight because it was an unexpected title. All previous Batman movies always had the word Batman in it.
I personally dislike how "The Last Samurai" and "The Last Jedi" are ambiguous about being singular or plural.
Normally not a fan of translated titles doing their own thing, but this one is probably better than the original, yup.
