Movies where the title is said only once, as the last line of dialogue

Oh wait I missed the "only said once" premise.

"I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... I'm da Raging Bull!"

I watched it in January but don't remember, can we confirm that Wallace Shawn only says the phrase "my dinner with André" once?

We’d only need to check the beginning and the end, because surely he doesn’t say it to Andre

Inherent vice might qualify. The crying of lot 49 definitely would except it isn’t a movie

yeah i was thinking of him on the subway complaining about andre in V.O.

the postman always rings twice is sooo fuckin close

"well, we did it. we went around the world...in eighty days."

Really want to believe that the Leo version ends "He was, truly, The Great Gatsby".

The last word in the Beatles movie "Help" has Leo McKern shout "Help" but drowned out by the title song.

Obviously the song appears earlier, but I don't recall anyone saying help as dialogue (or monologue, or in a crowd, or whatever)

So, I had planned to marry Peter, but I married Jack instead.
Thank goodness my father was right.
Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan.
But Jack, Jack gave me the perfect gift:
a stamp in my passport.
He took me to Florence for our honeymoon.
I guess you might say he gave me the world.
Peter once asked me when it was that I fell in love with Jack,
and I told him, it was while you were sleeping.

(I have two more, also from cheating, but will hold off if anyone wants)

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force titled one episode "Last Last One Forever and Ever", and one of the last lines of that episode is Carl commenting that Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad truly were an Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The creators believed this would be the show's final episode, but then the series was renewed."

Jaws

From Russia With Love

Return of the Jedi

Vertigo

Rambo: First Blood Part II

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The Dark Knight is legit, by the way.

Oh no it's a dark knight vs the dark knight, ignore me.

The Dark Knight is still legit, though.

will have to double check this but if it's not said as a line of dialogue this would work

we're halfway there!

"The were a bold bunch. They were, the Raiders of the Lost Ark."

"It is finished. Father... into Your hands I commend my soul. He is truly ... the Exorcist"

"Old Paul Edgecomb: We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so fucking long. "

"Well, that's the story. So the next time your air-conditioner goes on the fritz, or your washing machine blows up, or your video recorder conks out, before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights. Check all the closets and cupboards. Look under all the beds. 'Cause you never can tell. There just might be a fucking gremlin in your house."

"You blew it up! God damn you all to hell!"

"Forget it, it's the Planet of the Apes."

"I think we'll be ok here Leon"

"Who am I ? I'm fuckign spierdermna"

"The truth is I'm fucking Iron Man"

Someone not on their mobile phone can search this, yeah?

"Old Paul Edgecomb: We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so fucking long. "

the title isn't the last word even in these jokes...

xp Using a film's script to check isn't reliable, even movies that adhere to the script have minor alterations and omissions

Tbf the titles are in the last line of dialogue in those

Mark: the page ends like this:

"
89:07 - 89:11
Won't you please, please help me?
89:11 - 89:14
Help me, help me
89:14 - 89:21
Ooh
"

In Your House (2011)

So Fucking Long (1992)

I admire your seriousness in this venture. Maybe we should make a new thread "Movies where the title would be better if it was the last line in the movie"

"Ooh!" woudl be a much better title

"Sure, mom, let me just quickly go and get my coat -- oh! Dad! Poor Dad! Mamma's hung you in the closet and I'm feelin' so sad!" *fade to black*

True, but if the script has Ringo saying "C'mon George, Help us will yer?" then it could be discounted without having to watch the whole thing.

xpost well, if they add in the lyrics as well, what canyer do?

"I, Frankenstein"

xxxp Pretty close to The Rutles' parody, "Ouch!"

True, but the Rutles film is called <>

I definitely think more films should do this, it’s a pretty funny thing to do like telling someone “I’m gonna tell you the ‘aristocrats’ joke” and then telling them the joke for two hours and then saying the punchline “the aristocrats”

"You blew it up! God damn you all to hell!"

"Forget it, it's the Planet of the Apes."

This would have been much better

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp almost counts except after the narrator says the title at the end he adds, “well only parts of it, and actually not really the second part.”

"Help!" is played over the opening credits of the film, u eejits

"The truth is I'm fucking Iron Man"

iirc this almost is the last line of that movie?

"Forget it, Jake. It's The Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894)"

"Don't tell me I'm back in the fuckin' Titanic."

Man, this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_drop

Did you know that a "title drop" is literally any time the title of a movie is used in the movie, including proper names? So there are 267 title drops in Barbie?

There were 182 title drops in Fuck You, Scarface

"This is it, Rambo, you're free! Free, Rambo, Free!"

MISS PRISM:
[Enthusiastically.] Frederick! At last!

ALGERNON:
Cecily! [Embraces her.] At last!

JACK:
Gwendolen! [Embraces her.] At last!

LADY BRACKNELL:
My nephew, you seem to be displaying signs of triviality.

JACK:
On the contrary, Aunt Augusta, I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest.

From that wiki page:

Unlike The Godfather, which contains fourteen total title drops, The Godfather Part II only contains four.

Title drops in music are extremely common, considering many songs are simply named after a lyric they contain.

Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow springs to mind

Title drops have been on an upward trend every decade since 1960.

If this trend continues, at some point in the future, movie dialog will consist entirely of title drops.

(very tempting to edit the wikipedia page to add this in)

I managed to search the "Help" script, and there is a bit where one of the Beatles gets grabbed into a cab or something, where someone says "it's not him, he is the wrong one", there's a bit of yelling "Helpx around then.

So, never mind.

p sure John Lennon sings the word "help" once or twice in that big opening number, also.

Films where the last line of the movie is NOT said but is the title of the movie, You Can Count On Me

“Remember when we were kids? Remember what we used to say to each other?”

Then the film cuts to black.

The Player comes close, with Tim Robbins on the phone describing his movie idea:

- What do you call this thing?
- The Player.
- The Player. I like that. I like that.

xposts yeah, but the basic idea was that songs performed didn't count as dialogue.

"His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead"

James Joyce novella, the dead.

If we're doing books now, I just reread Bonjour Tristesse. Last lines: "Only when I am in bed, at dawn, listening to the cars down below in the streets of Paris, my memory betrays me; that summer returns to me with all its memories. Anne, Anne, I repeat over and over again softly in the darkness. Then something rises in me that I welcome by name, with closed eyes. Bonjour Tristesse!"

This got me to thinking if there was a film where the name of the film was the very last word in the end credits. And then it struck me - what about the Virgin Films version of 1984, which came out in 1984? Does it end with (c) Virgin Films 1984?

No, it does not. It ends with (c) 1984 Virgin Cinema Films Limited, All Rights Reserved. So, curse you, Michael Radford, for ruining my attempt to mildly impress a bunch of total strangers. Curse you, Michael Radford, and curse Virgin Films, and curse you Thorn EMI, and also Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and also the British film industry for continually attempting to make Oscar bait films with diminishing returns in the wake of Chariots of Fire and Ghandi, culminating in the disasters that were Absolute Beginners and Revolution, instead of financing something more likely to make money, such as e.g. Morons From Outer Space, and I admit that wasn't a good example.

Is there a film out there called All Rights Reserved. No there is not. That's the peril of having access to infinite knowledge. Some of the answers aren't right.

Is there an equivalent thread for songs? That is “Up The Junction” and “There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out”

Songs where the title is only sung once, as the last line of the song

"Financing something more likely to make money" = Richard Curtis, so be careful what you wish for.

xpost

Xp tysm

A different list would be films where the last shot gives the title its meaning.

Guessing this thread is filled with near-misses, so another one: The Eyes of Laura Mars. (The films itself is a complete and spectacular miss.)
