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

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.

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!"

"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.
