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

Talk Dirty to Me III

i wish i could bet money that Joker does this

― Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili)

new trailer (full of explicit King of Comedy references) has Joaq asking talk show host DeNiro (assuming Jerry Lewis' role) to call him "Joker" when he's introduced. so no

Like the printed word?

I don't think that counts, because it's effectively a diegetic title card, like the opening of Mon Oncle or Heaven Can Wait.

I was going to suggest Phase IV. The film doesn't have traditional opening credits, and it's divided into phases, with title cards. My memory tells me that the title card for the final phase is technically the last bit of language within the film, because it's followed by one of those wordless post-2001 montage endings that were fashionable at the time.

But having just watched the film again I'm completely wrong. There's only a title card for Phase I - the second and third phases are implied - and the wordless post-2001 montage actually has dialogue in it (as does the awesome extended original ending). The film's title appears in the credits, but after the director, so it's just part of the end credits.

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.

Also, for the record, the last piece of dialogue in Themroc is shrieking and wolf-like howling and a banging noise as a man smashes a car with a hammer.

xposts flappy it’s the last word of the last line, “I have doubts”. Plural I guess so doesn’t really count. Somebody probable says “doubt” at some point earlier in a less noteworthy context

Frances Ha does the printed thing you mentioned, really effectively I might add

"and that's how i became Dr Strangelove, or...how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb"

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

how many is that now?

Godard's Hail Mary qualifies going by the thread title but not against the rules I stated upthread (the title is the last line of dialogue, but there is an additional sentence read in voiceover)

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

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