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

"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

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

3. Carry On Regardless

xxpost Yeah, man, I read the RR script probably a decade and a half ago. It's pretty easy to find.

what about Antelope Don't Run No More?

I think one could sneak into this category by making an untitled silent film.

Watched one tonight

4. And We Were Young (2015)

5. Permanent Vacation (1980)

6. While You were Sleeping
7. The Great Mouse Detective

Oh yeah from KM!
8. The Breakfast Club

"So, I guess Rosebud was the sled... of CITIZEN KANE!"

"Lemme tell ya, Lance. This war's really starting to feel like the apocalypse now."

"You blew it up! Damn you to hell! You blew up... THE PLANET OF THE APES!"

I still say Leo McKern's last drowned-out dialogue line of "Help" qualifies.

that one is iffy since it's obviously in the title song, but - and it's been a long time since I've seen Help! - appearing in a song, sung, is not "said" or "dialogue," so I guess it fits

Ta.

The Hours did this.

That's The Way of The World (IIRC)

"Once more, we have survived the threat of war and found a fragile peace. I thought I could give you all the gift of the freedom from war, but I was wrong. It's not mine to give. We're still a young planet. There are galaxies out there. Other civilizations for us to meet and to learn from. What a brilliant future we could have. And there will be peace – there will be peace when the people of this world want it so badly that their governments will have no choice but to give it to them. I just wish you could all see the Earth the way that I see it. Because when you really look at it, it's just Superman IV: The Quest for Peace"

The Wicker Man almost makes it but then there's a bit of swearing and singing afterwards.. damn.

Yea "Tubthumping" plays

"and that's when i learned why they called it The Brown Bunny"

haven't seen it but i'm just going to assume that The Man Who Walked Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain is one of these

Insane Clown Posse

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Juggalos yet

 [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
Violent J
and Shaggy 2 Dope
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours, the Insane Clown Posse

Too many jokes itt. I want to see a real list. Looks like we're close to ten examples if not more.

Got this via cheating, but "I, Frankenstein" is the last line of "I, Frankenstein" (2014) and I doubt it's said before then.

Abre los ojos ("Open Your Eyes") ends with a woman's voice saying "abre los ojos", though I don't remember if it's said earlier in the movie. IIRC Vanilla Sky (the Hollywood remake) also ends with the same line, not with someone saying "vanilla sky".

My wife's parents watched the whole of "No Country for Old Men" which ends with two old men sat discussing events.

"B-but they didn't say it!"

(it was definitely implied, though)

Abre Los Ojos also begins with someone saying the title iirc.

Spotlight does it, do they say it beforehand though? I'm assuming they.. must but can't remember.

But what we found out is that each one of us is
Violent J
and Shaggy 2 Dope
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours, the Insane Clown Posse

I was thinking of this one too, but someone yells "Faygo!" after that so I don't think it counts.

When I finally came in, Debbie was home from work, and I told her everything about baby's day out.
