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

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.

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)

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?

xp but if it's only sung it doesn't count. I should clarify: "last spoken word/phrase in the the last line of dialogue"

Let's roll 😈

I definitely think more films should do this

there should be a joke thread so we can drop our fantasy Alien/ET/The Usual Suspects/The VVitch/Backdoor Nurses 7/Fight Club/etc last lines

Those stopped being funny just in time for a thread not to be necessary thankfully

I was going to say They Shoot Horses, Don't They like Morbs upthread, but I double checked because I had a sneaking suspicion that there was more speech afterwards - and there is. I still feel like it should count, because it's the last line of meaningful dialogue, but it switches to a brief "and everything else keeps going" bit after it has been said.

Forget about it Jake, it's Wall St.
Forget about it Jake, it's Paris, Texas.
Forget about it Jake, it's Brazil.
Forget about it Jake, it's Casablanca.
Forget about it Jake, it's The Little House on the Prairie.
Forget about it Jake, it's Steel Magnolias.
Forget about it Jake, it's The Usual Suspects.
Forget about it Jake, it's The Shining.
Forget about it Jake, it's Spaceballs.
Forget about it Jake, it's Quiz Show.
Forget about it Jake, it's A Clear and Present Danger.
Forget about it Jake, it's On Golden Pond.

I've got a feeling one of the early Carry On films did this - almost certainly the first one I would suppose, I.e. Carry On Sergeant.

"Carry on regardless" maybe,

Stanley Unwin says it in Unwinese, then shortly after tha one of the cast (forget who) translates, and the scene and film ends when they all shout CARRY ON REGARDLESS!

Not "Carry on Sargeant" it's said once about halfway through - a docuseries is running on TV at the moment..

"And that's the story of how I was turned into a clockwork orange"

Near miss:

With the sinking of
the submarine, all our hopes of getting
away from Caprona have disappeared.
We are alone Spurned by even the
highest--the Ga-Lu. So we have to go on
in the way of Caprona till we find peace.
I would rather live here with Lisa than to live elsewhere
without her. And she says the same of me.
If God wills it,
we shall live our lives here.
However, we are determined to move ever northward,
ever forward, toward the greater mysteries
that lie ahead
of this land that time forgot.

Mm, as you can see, Dawson,
this young lady has just arrived
from the Hampstead district and is troubled about the mysterious
disappearance of an emerald ring missing from the third finger
of her right hand.
Now, tell me the story,
and, pray, be precise.

From that time on,
Basil and I were a close team.
And over the years,
we had many cases together.
But I shall always
look back on that first with the most fondness:
my introduction
to Basil of Baker Street,
the Great Mouse Detective.

"And I will not hesitate to lay the hammer down on any clown that comes around. Coz if they want a fight, they best come see me. Coz I'm...Black Dynamite."

doesn't qualify obviously because they say Black Dynamite in every other line, but it still fondly came to mind

"The truth is I'm fucking Iron Man"

― Rabbit Control (Latham Green), Wednesday, August 8, 2018 5:34 PM (twenty-nine minutes ago)

iirc this almost is the last line of that movie?

Yeah, but "Iron Man" has already been said several times before that.

If nonexistent films count, then I nom Ronnie Rocket.

is that script out there?

how many do we have, anyway? They Shoot Horses seems to have been disputed, Help! is still unclear.

my tally:
1. Kiss Me, Stupid
2. My Dinner With Andre

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.)
