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

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

loool, RIP Morbs.

You saved the station! You truly are a bunch of Super Troopers

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

"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

(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.
