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

"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

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.

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

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

close, he goes by Robert

Robert Anthony Spotlight, of the Amherst Spotlights.

Hard To Be A God comes very close to this actually

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?

Not enough bowling iirc

otm tbh

5. Permanent Vacation (1980)

^^^ 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.

ah good catch!

How Green Was My Valley (1941) just barely misses, final line: "How green was my valley then..."

need confirmation on these:

9. The Hours (2002)
10. That's the Way of the World (1975)
11. I, Frankenstein (2014)

found a new one tonight:

12. Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)

Leave it Jake, it's 17 Dresses

xpost posted way upthread already

Ha, I searched text but didn't scan for images. Well no harm in allowing ol' Moe to tug our heartstrings once a year or so

9. The Hours (2002)

Have to withdraw this one as it isn't only said once.

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink. You know, a drink?" / "Why, yes, I suppose we deserve it, given that we are the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK".

Roll credits. Technically the Nazis were raiders of the lost ark (they're the ones who raided it) but in a broader sense what's the difference between archaeology and raiding anyway, you know?

Are there any silent films were the title is read out at the end of the opening credits? Does narration count as dialogue? Are there any films that only have one line of dialogue?

Goodbye Mr Chips almost counts (the last line has an extra "goodbye" at the end).

Are there any films that only have one line of dialogue?

Mel Brooks's Silent Movie iirc

i'll be disappointed if the upcoming little women remake doesn't end with

and that's when they realized...they were no longer little girls...they were little women.

A Bridge Too Far

^ real suggestion

"i can't wait to get out of africa"

Re: The Breakfast Club example mentioned upthread, while the movie does end with those words, I'm pretty sure the name "Breakfast Club" is mentioned earlier in the movie too, since that's what they call the detention the protagonists are attending.

Not according to this - https://www.raindance.org/scripts/old-library/Breakfast-Club.pdf

Ok, I guess I misremembered it then... For some reason I thought "the Breakfast Club" was an established name for the Saturday morning detention instead of something they came up with at the end.

Scripts are not always to be trusted, even officially published ones often differ from the finished film. Unless that’s a direct transcript of the movie.

Been meaning to rewatch Vanilla Sky, it’s been years but I do remember the phrase “obre los ojos” opening it and “open your eyes” closing it.

Ashley, I count narration. Like I said a few months ago, How Green Was My Valley ends with the phrase “how green was my valley then” in V.O.

Doubt

well it's the last word, not the last line

i wish i could bet money that Joker does this
