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

this is going to be a very short thread. I will be extremely satisfied if we get ten movies

"Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight."

Clark Gable shocked audiences as Rhett Butler when he delivered the immortal line “Frankly my dear, Gone With the Wind” at the end of Gone With the Wind (1939).

"and that was the story of a the boat that they said could never sink, with not enough lifeboats, and a captain who made mistakes but was steadfast til the end. and a night that so cold that the water itself froze, in parts, and split the boat into pieces. a great jewel was lost that night, a symbol of love and youth and betrayal, and maybe a bit of truth as well. we call that boat the "titan"

“Forget it, Jake. It’s a wonderful life.”

"You have won all the Star Wars."

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

(legit answer, u clowns)

"Louis, this could be the end of Casablanca."

lmao

I think “My Dinner With Andre” is a real one

Thank you Morbius and Silby

So that's three

This is not a joke thread

It can be both

"Throw that sled in the fire, the one that belonged to Citizen Kane!"

alright well let's keep our eyes on the prize, Heaven's Gate

JUDY...I have vertigo

sorry flappy bird, i was kinda going off of silby's theory there.

here's a real one:

Brian Johnson: [closing narration] Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...

Andrew Clark: ...and an athlete...

Allison Reynolds: ...and a basket case...

Claire Standish: ...a princess...

John Bender: ...and a criminal...

Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

hell yeah. Four already. that's already more than 100% certified New Jerseys

"There are a million stories in the naked city. One of them is 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.'"

i still plan on making Titan one day, just the way i want it to be

chinatown counts right?

https://twitter.com/saythetitle?lang=en

ours are much better already

no, "Chinatown" is said several times earlier in the film

i can't remember if "the man who shot Liberty Valance" is

Does "O Lucky Man!" count? I mean theyre SINGING it but still...

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.

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."

i can't remember if "the man who shot Liberty Valance" is

It is!

(This just finished on Talking Pictures 15 minutes ago.)

"Sometimes it just feels like life is one big SATANTANGO."

There have to be a few superhero origin story movies named for their heroes where the last line is like "I know now that nothing will ever be the same again....but I'll be ready for what's next. I have to be. Why? Because....I'm Zephyr Teachout"

I think Spiderman (2002) ends that way, but they definitely say Spiderman earlier in the movie

Cool bump!

"but I still still think that maybe you, Kevin, should learn to set an alarm next time, so that on Christmas you won't be left Home Alone!"

These jokes that happen every time this thread is bumped make me wish there was a delete button for this thread. I would remove it forever, take what I learned, and zoom into space.

But you've learned about another movie where the title is said only once, as the last line of dialogue.

If you've never seen this film then it was absolutely inevitable that the title would the last line of dialogue - nothing more certain on God's green Earth.

"be right back, gotta take a Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever"

Sorry to disrupt your thread, flappy bird. Of course, "Satantango" is spoken many times over the course of that movie, because it is the name of the little girl's cat.

xp that makes sense flappy bird, sorry!

the jokes are why i bookmarked this thread

"Yes, Aslan, I suppose you could say that it truly was The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)"

watched fast and furious 8 the other night and it occurred to me at no point over the 8 film franchise does anyone speak the phrase "fast and furious", to the point where its becoming an elephant in the room. theres a part in the trailer for the upcoming 9th film where they almost seem to openly tease the idea, vin diesel is like "we're gonna have to be FAST..." and it just hangs there like "...and? AND??" those movies are insane and self-aware enough that part of me is starting to wonder if, when the 10th & final one comes out, they are intentionally building up to the unprecedented feat being an entire franchise where the title is said only once, as the last line of dialogue

"Throw that sled in the fire, the one that belonged to Citizen Kane!"

loool, RIP Morbs.

You saved the station! You truly are a bunch of Super Troopers

I know we had our differences, but I've come to realize that you are all Super Troopers 2

"Gentlemen, I've thought about it long and hard and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, Valiant Is The Word For Carrie!"

"I've been a doctor for 45 years, and in my medical career I've never been more sure of a diagnosis as I am right now. There's no doubt about this case: it's Symbiopsychotaxiplasm."

One Eye Open, if the characters in that franchise don't say its title, they'll still be Fast but you'll be Furious.

if the last line of the last movie is "looking back we did it the only way we knew how... tokyo drift" i'm gonna hit the damn roof

"and though some forget about this obscure event, we will always remember The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh"

I'll guess "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar"

Look out, this is the thread where no joke answers are allowed!

^don't know that movie, got some quotes from it?

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)

Ooo nice one.

Just rewatched that end scene to be certain in my own mind and teared up just seeing it! Always thought it was such a moving film.

Don't they also say the title in the middle of the film:

During their conversation, the pair are released by a drunken Hara, as a different prisoner confessed to delivering the radio. As they leave, Hara calls out in English, "Merry Christmas, Lawrence!"

Anything Else (2003)

xp Yes, but no "Mr."!

"It's one of those films where the central conflict wouldn't work nowadays because of the existence of mobile phones. If the film had been made today the scientists could have simply phoned up the ants and sorted out their differences instead of spending several days trying to kill them all."

Can I just say that this joke deserved more applause than it got, which was no applause. Reading it back even I was surprised by the punchline, and I wrote it, although it was three years ago and a long time ago because that was pre-COVID. 2019 was pre-COVID, wasn't it? A long time ago.

Long time ago. I'd forgotten about this thread. I suggested Themroc because the dialogue is just screeching. Isn't there an Orson Welles film where he reads about the credits? But the last line would be "and this film is copyright RKO pictures 1949 all rights reserved" and Orson Welles never directed a film with that title.

A qualified entry here:

The Outfit (1973) was released in certain regions as The Good Guys Always Win, which is the last line of dialogue in the movie, said only once.

“And then they realized, they were no longer little girls: they were little women.”

Is one of the best Simpsons jokes of all time because I, and number of other people, are so illiterate that they think the joke is just Moe crying and that’s how little women ends. pic.twitter.com/2ZzdR5KeL4

"I'm Rey... Rey Star Wars."

"and that's when I knew that despite all we'd been through, we'd always be guardians of the galaxy, volume three"

i told you, mess with my friends and I'll go BALLISTIC: ECKS VS SEVER

Just realized that The Byrds' "Eight Miles High" opens with the title phrase, which is never repeated again for the rest of the song

the end scene of the cinematic masterpiece, The Principal starring Jim Belushi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKLqyoP5oHY

(starts at 1:50 but don't cheat yourself of the other highlights)

those are some A+ crazy eyes by belushi at :17 there before he knees him in the balls

also

Belushi reprised his role as Rick Latimer in the 1991 film Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe.

?????

“U mad, Max?”

not sure if it's the last line but "I think we'll call you the Super Mario Brothers" was definitely in the last few minutes of the 1991 movie. think that line's in the new movie too

I think Bogdanovich's "What's Up Doc?" does end with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd singing the title; but the phrase first shows up somewhat early in the film, then several times more near the ending.

Sweetie, You Won't Believe It

Assuming the translation is accurate. Fun movie, anyway.
