what about Antelope Don't Run No More?

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

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

Mark G, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 11:55 (five years ago) link

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

"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.

 [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.

flappy bird, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link

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

what if bod was one of us (ledge), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 08:03 (five years ago) link

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)

Mark G, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 11:50 (five years ago) link

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

chap, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 13:58 (five years ago) link

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

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

actually it ends with Tommy Lee Jones' character describing a dream to his wife, the old men discussing the condition of the country is a couple scenes earlier </sic>

XPs They say "Spotlight" alot, since it's the name of their department.

yeah but that is a good example, I liked Spotlight but remember laughing really hard at that last line bc Michael Keaton picked up the phone and said "Spotlight!" like Batman

flappy bird, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 16:37 (five years ago) link

I haven't seen the movie but I thought his character's name was Bob Spotlight?

Plinka Trinka Banga Tink (Eliza D.), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 16:48 (five years ago) link

close, he goes by Robert

flappy bird, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 16:53 (five years ago) link

Robert Anthony Spotlight, of the Amherst Spotlights.

I worked at a movie theater when this was out and lots of old people came out of it different levels of furious and confused at the ending, my favorite being the baffled lady who approached me shaking her head saying "I don't get it... so it was all just a DREAM??"

What did that demo think of the end of There Will Be Blood?

^^^ especially noteworthy as jarmusch goes out of his way to have "my boyfriend's back" playing from a car stereo earlier in the film, then cut it off just before it gets to the title phrase.
