| 2 | '''Eleanor Levetan:''' Is "do revenge" even the correct grammar?\ |
| 3 | '''Drea:''' Oh I'm sorry WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock, are you dragging my sentence structure right now? |

| 6 | {{Title Drop}}s are very popular for movies. For your enjoyment, many are collected in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V1sYNvKZt8 this montage]]. |

| 11 | * ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'', when the officers are first being assigned their case. |
| 12 | -->'''Captain Hardy:''' Tomorrow morning, you are both going to report to Jump Street. ''37 Jump Street''.\ |
| 13 | ''[beat]''\ |
| 14 | '''Captain Hardy:''' [[SubvertedTrope Wait, no, that doesn't sound right]]. What was it again? |
| 15 | * Aaron writes "Aaron likes Angela" in the stairwell of his apartment building, then "Aaron likes Angela very much" on a piece of metal, and finally "Film/AaronLovesAngela!" on a napkin, which he has Willie give to Angela. |
| 16 | * "You guys think you're Film/{{Above the Law|1988}}. Well, you ain't above mine." |
| 17 | * The very last line of the film ''Abre Los Ojos'', aka ''Film/OpenYourEyes'': "Tranquilo... tranquilo... '''''abre los ojos'''''..." |
| 18 | * "It's Film/{{Absurd|1981}}, completely absurd." |
| 19 | * "Here we've got an Film/{{Ace in the Hole|1951}}". |
| 20 | * Done twice in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse2007'', once in the song the movie gets its title from, and once by Mr. Kite: |
| 21 | -->"And tonight Mr. Kite is TOPPING THE BILL BABY! ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!" |
| 22 | * ''Film/AdeleHasntHadHerDinnerYet'': Adele from the title is a carnivorous plant that is capable of eating huge morsels like sausages, mice, dogs or people. The Gardener's minions think they captured detective Nick Carter, their boss's nemesis and the sole obstacle in his plan for a big revenge, but it's actually his sidekick police commissioner Ledvina who was acting as Nick's body double. The Gardener contemplates what to do with him, and his servant eagerly suggests that Adele hasn't had her dinner yet... |
| 23 | * ''Film/AgainstAllFlags'': When Captain Roc Brasiliano asks Brian Hawke why he has come to [[OutlawTown Diego Suarez]], Hawke replies that he has come "to sail against all flags". |
| 24 | * ''Film/AguirreTheWrathOfGod'': "I am the wrath of god. The earth I pass will see me and tremble. But whoever follows me and the river will win untold riches." |
| 25 | * ''Film/AirForceOne'' obviously uses the name of the aircraft frequently. However, the scene at the end where the pilot of the rescue aircraft [[MeaningfulRename formally changes his call sign]] from Liberty-2-4 to Air Force One serves as a Title Drop. |
| 26 | * Jimmy's instructions for his InitiationCeremony are "Follow the river to a wall of wood, face the sunrise and look to Film/TheAirUpThere. |
| 27 | * ''Film/AllThatJazz'' drops its title in a speech made by Ben Vereen: |
| 28 | -->"Folks, what can I tell you about my next guest? This cat allowed himself to be adored but not loved and his success in show business was met by his failure in his personal relationship bag. Now that's where he really bombed. And he came to believe that work, show business, love, his whole life, even himself and '''all that jazz''' was bullshit. He became a ''numero uno'' gameplayer to the point where he didn't know where the games ended and the reality began. Like for this cat, the only reality is death, man." |
| 29 | * "When I was a little kid, I was scared to death to be [[Film/AloneInTheDark1982 alone in the dark]]." |
| 30 | * Colonel Glenn Manning gives one during his "circus freak" rant to a hapless sergeant: |
| 31 | -->"Why don't you make me up a sign saying, 'See '''Film/TheAmazingColossalMan''''?" |
| 32 | * ''Film/AmericanHoney'': |
| 33 | ** The term is first mentioned when Star is introduced to Krystal, the crew's leader. |
| 34 | --->'''Krystal''': Where's that accent from?\ |
| 35 | '''Star''': Texas.\ |
| 36 | '''Krystal''': So you're a southern girl. A real American honey like me. You know that song?\ |
| 37 | '''Star''': No. |
| 38 | ** Later the song Krystal was referring to, the Music/LadyA song “American Honey”, plays in the van and the crew sing along. |
| 39 | * ''Film/AngryWhiteMan'': Two examples. |
| 40 | ** While trying to write a song with Bulldog Hayes, Bulldog decides to apparently stomp on Skeeter's foot, and notes how angry he looks afterwards. |
| 41 | --->:'''Bulldog Hayes:''' Ahh, we're getting somewhere. Yeah, you look angry. You look like an angry white man. |
| 42 | ** During the Big Blanket Country Song contest, Maxine announces she'll be singing Skeeter's song on his behalf (since he [[TongueTrauma bit his own tongue]]), which is called "Angry White Man". |
| 43 | * ''Film/TheAnonymousHeroes'' literally ''closes'' the film with the title. |
| 44 | --> "Our revolution can finally proceed. We shall overthrow the warlord, and victory will soon be ours... we all owe this to ''The Anonymous Heroes'' of this mission." |
| 45 | * ''Film/AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent'': Given this is a film full of sketches from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', its obviously expected, especially from Creator/JohnCleese in his suit. |
| 46 | --> "And Now For Something Completely Different!" |
| 47 | * ''Film/Armageddon1998'': Literature/TheBible calls this day "Armageddon, the end of all things." |
| 48 | * Melvin Udall says to a room of psychiatric patients: "What if this is Film/AsGoodAsItGets?" |
| 49 | * ''Film/AssassinsCreed2016'': Courtesy of Alan Rikkin during his speech to the Templars: |
| 50 | -->"But it is not to ourselves, but to the future that we must give glory. A future purged of the Assassin's Creed." |
| 51 | * ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' did it for its sequel instead: |
| 52 | -->'''ComicBook/DoctorStrange:''' We're in the [[Film/AvengersEndgame endgame]] now. |
| 53 | * In the biopic of Howard Hughes, the TitleDrop comes after he's terribly injured in a plane crash. It is a minor plot point showing what he thought as himself as. |
| 54 | -->"I'm Howard Hughes...Film/TheAviator..." |
| 55 | * The title for ''Film/Awake2007'' is dropped in the opening moments that explain the premise of the film. |
| 56 | -->"Each year, over 21,000,000 people receive general anesthesia. The vast majority go to sleep peacefully. They remember nothing. 30,000 of these patients are not so fortunate. They find themselves unable to sleep. Trapped in a phenomenon known as Anesthesia Awareness. These victims are completely paralyzed. [[AndIMustScream They cannot scream for help]]. They are...''[[TitleDrop Awake]]''." |
| 57 | * ''Film/{{AWOL}}'': Rayna wants Joey to go AWOL from the Army, which she eventuually does do. |
| 58 | * The ''Series/BabylonFive'' made-for-TV prequel movie seems appropriately titled ''In the Beginning,'' taking place a decade before the series. The movie fleshes out the Earth-Minbari War and how the Minbari, with vast technological superiority, very nearly wiped out the human race with only a single military loss. Near the end, Delenn asks another of the Minbari ruling body if there is any glory in genocide. The reply is, "Not as much as in the beginning." |
| 59 | ** Each ''Series/BabylonFive'' season has a title, such as "Signs and Portents" or "Point of No Return". Some episodes have the same title as the season they occur in. These episodes are typically [[WhamEpisode rather important]]. |
| 60 | * ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'': |
| 61 | ** ''[[Film/BackToTheFuture1 Back to the Future Part I]]'': "Next Saturday night, we're sending you ''back to the future''!" |
| 62 | ** ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'': "Marty, you've got to come back with me!" "Back where?" "Back to the future!"; "No! It can't be; I just sent you back to the future!" |
| 63 | ** ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'': "Hey, Doc! Where you goin' now? Back to the future?" |
| 64 | * ''Film/BadApples'': Ella does this in the beginning of the movie during her job interview. |
| 65 | -->'''Ella:''' I mean... there are certainly some bad apples, but... I can assure you that it's not a California-related issue. |
| 66 | * An example appears in ''Film/TheBadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'', if you go by the film's original title. |
| 67 | -->'''Chavez:''' Are you still working with the police department?\ |
| 68 | '''[=McDonaugh=]:''' Port of call still New Orleans. |
| 69 | * In ''Film/BankShot'', Karp mentions the phrase 'bank shot' multiple times within a couple of minutes when outlining TheCaper to Ballentine. |
| 70 | * ''Bart Got a Room''. ''[[RunningGag Bart]]'' [[RunningGag got a room?]] |
| 71 | * The second ''Film/BattalGazi'' film, ''Savulun Battal Gazi Geliyor!'' ('''Look Out, Here Comes Battal Gazi!''') have the titular WarriorPrince shouting the title aloud in the final battle, moments before he jumps off a balcony into a group of enemies and cuts them all down. |
| 72 | * "Tonight is my last chance, the last night of the full moon. And I warn you both; tonight, [[Film/TheBeastMustDie the beast must die]], and will." |
| 73 | * In ''Film/BendItLikeBeckham'' Jess speaks the exact title once ("No one can cross a ball or bend it like Beckham") and a close variant at another moment ("Anyone can cook aloo gobai, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?"). |
| 74 | * "Today, you have the chance to be the greatest martial artists in the world. It's up to you. If you give everything you've got, everything, you'll be winners. That I promise you. You can be the Film/BestOfTheBest." |
| 75 | * ''Beyond the Farthest Star'' has Creator/CheramiLeigh drop the title at ''least'' 5 times throughout the entire film. |
| 76 | * "Yes, we have everything here: moose, bear, wolves, lynx, everything you need. So, what kind of game are you looking for?" "''Film/BigGame''." |
| 77 | * "My only hope is the Film/TheBigLebowski kills me before the Germans can cut my dick off." |
| 78 | * ''Film/TheBlackCat'' had ''nothing'' to do with its title (which is from an [[InNameOnly otherwise unrelated]] story by Edgar Allan Poe), so a black cat walks through some scenes, just to make some sense of it. |
| 79 | * In ''Film/BlackChristmas2006'', an old newspaper found in Eve's room mentions that Billy's first rampage was dubbed "Black Christmas". |
| 80 | * "We got a Film/BlackHawkDown." |
| 81 | ** Also a case of circumstances forcing the [[AC:TitleDrop]]: most radio conversations, including the "We got a Blackhawk down" line, were taken verbatim from the radio conversations that occurred during the operation. The book author named the book after said line, then the movie came out and used the same title. |
| 82 | * ''Black Narcissus.'' The Young General explains that it's the perfume he uses to scent his handkerchief. |
| 83 | * The TropeCodifier for film: "I need ya, Deck. This is a bad one, the worst yet. I need the old [[Film/BladeRunner blade runner]], I need your magic." |
| 84 | * ''Film/{{Blooded}}'': After Eve shoots the stag, Ben daubs her cheeks with the animal's blood, and tells her that she has been 'blooded', and explains how this a tradition after a hunter makes their first kill. |
| 85 | * ''Film/{{Bloodthristy}}'': At the end, Grey sings a song about how she's bloodthirsty. |
| 86 | * ''Film/BloodWidow'': While reading the diary she found in the abandoned boarding school, Laurie reads out loud that, as the little girl was being hauled off by the police for killing the headmaster for abusing her, the other girls started calling her "Blood Widow". |
| 87 | * In Paul Greengrass's film ''Film/BloodySunday'', the local cinema's billboard advertises a showing of John Schlesinger's ''Film/SundayBloodySunday''. Ironically, Schlesinger's film is about a bisexual love triangle and has nothing to do with Greengrass's film or the historical events upon which it is based. |
| 88 | * ''Film/BodiesBodiesBodies'': "Bodies Bodies Bodies" is a "murder in the dark" style game they play early on. |
| 89 | * In the horror anthology film ''Film/BodyBags'', the Coroner introduces all the stories connected to the new corpses that come in. |
| 90 | -->'''The Coroner:''' Body Bags! See, when it's suicide or murder or an accident they put them in these bags. |
| 91 | * ''Film/BonnieAndBonnie'': The German press dubs Yara and Kiki this after they go on the lam in the film's final act, in a take off from the notorious American outlaw couple. |
| 92 | * "Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did ''was'' 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 a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, Film/TheBreakfastClub." |
| 93 | * Dr. Pretorius announces "The Film/BrideOfFrankenstein!" when he presents the female creation. |
| 94 | * The producers who changed the title of ''Bride of the Atom'' to ''Film/BrideOfTheMonster'' ruined another Ed Wood TitleDrop. |
| 95 | * "Well, as you know, I always felt we tried to go Film/ABridgeTooFar." |
| 96 | * When a Mexican patrón learns who impregnated his daughter, he gives an order: "Film/BringMeTheHeadOfAlfredoGarcia". |
| 97 | * "I am Film/BruceAlmighty! My will be done!" |
| 98 | ** "Why hello there, Bruce Almighty." |
| 99 | * Dr. Walters tells Munsey that he uses "''Film/{{Brute Force|1947}}''" when treating the prisoners and feels pleasure from it. |
| 100 | * ''Film/CabinByTheLake'''s name is the same as the script Stanley is writing in-story, but isn't name dropped until the end by a group of body cast models. |
| 101 | * Matt's maid calls him Mr. Merriwether. He says, "Don't be so formal. Film/CallMeBwana." He gives another title drop to Luba at the end of the movie when she calls him darling. |
| 102 | * "Operation Film/CanadianBacon" launched by the United States government to provide America with a handy new enemy. |
| 103 | * In ''Film/TheCallbackQueen'', the agent refers to the actress Kate as "something of a callback queen". |
| 104 | * "... so what else can I do, but Film/CarryOn [[Film/CarryOnCruising Cruising]]?" |
| 105 | ** "... Film/CarryOnSergeant!" |
| 106 | ** "Film/CarryOnColumbus.'' |
| 107 | * "She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away. So I've spent every day since then Film/ChasingAmy. So to speak". |
| 108 | * "You're a phony celebrity. You're a flash. In a couple of weeks, no one would give a shit about you. That's ''Film/{{Chicago}}''." |
| 109 | * The movie ''Film/{{Chinatown}}'' is infamous for having nothing to do with Chinatown except for one offhand and cryptic reference, which, while obviously important (since Jack Nicholson's character had earlier mentioned that, while serving as a beat cop in Chinatown, he did "as little as possible"), appears to have nothing to do with the rest of the movie. |
| 110 | ** ...until the shocking final sequence, that is. "Forget it, Jake--it's ''Chinatown''...." |
| 111 | * ''Film/TheClassic'': Ji-hye finds the first letter (a poem) she finds in the box corny, but also thinks it's charming because it's "a classic". [[spoiler:It's the same poem that's in a card that Sang-min gave her in one of the presents he gave to her and So-kyeong.]] |
| 112 | * ''Film/{{Cleanskin}}'': During the press conference following the hotel bombing, the spokesman describes Ash as a 'cleanskin': a homegrown extremist with no previous convictions, so therefore unknown to the security services. |
| 113 | * ''Film/ClearAndPresentDanger'': The President uses a [[AC:TitleDrop]], in contrast to his earlier, more vague SpySpeak, to initiate an illegal war against the drug cartels. |
| 114 | ** Generally speaking, the President of the United States can name any person or group a "clear and present danger" to the safety and security of the USA. This is roughly equivalent to a Mafia don saying that he dislikes someone immensely: don't expect said person to last very long. |
| 115 | * If we're counting this...then: |
| 116 | -->'''Randal Graves:''' If title dictated my behavior, as a [[Film/{{Clerks}} clerk]] serving the public, I wouldn't be allowed to spit water at that guy. But I did. So, my point is that people dictate their own behavior. Even though I work in a video store, I choose to go rent movies at Big Choice. Agreed? |
| 117 | * ''Film/CloudAtlas'': |
| 118 | ** Zachry talks about wishing he had some kind of map to track souls as they move across the ages, like clouds across the sky. He calls it an "atlas o' clouds". |
| 119 | ** The title of Frobisher's masterpiece is ''The Cloud Atlas Sextet''. Its structure is described as extremely similar to that of the novel, with six individual parts slowly woven together into one greater whole. Frobisher himself isn't sure if it's clever or gimmicky. |
| 120 | * Near the end of ''Film/{{Clueless}},'' as [[LovableAlphaBitch Cher]]'s inner monologue reviews her track record with guys throughout the film: |
| 121 | -->''[[ObliviousToLove I was wrong about Elton]], [[IncompatibleOrientation I was wrong about Christian]], now [[FlirtyStepsiblings Josh]] hated me. It all boiled down to one inevitable conclusion: I was just totally clueless.'' |
| 122 | * "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I have the only gun onboard. Welcome to Film/ConAir". |
| 123 | * "[[YouBastard We who watch]], are we...Film/{{The Condemned|2007}}?" |
| 124 | * "Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Film/CoolRunnings!" |
| 125 | * An obligatory one in ''Film/{{Cthulhu}}'' given that [[NonIndicativeName Cthulhu himself never shows up]]. Russell Marsh comes across blind boy Kellin Myles alone in a house 'watching' an OminousTelevision. |
| 126 | -->'''Russell:''' Where are your parents? |
| 127 | -->'''Kellin:''' They live downstairs. We're waiting. |
| 128 | -->'''Russell:''' What do you mean, what are you waiting for? |
| 129 | -->'''Kellin:''' Cthulhu. ''(ScareChord)'' |
| 130 | * "You cannot run away from [[Film/TheCurseOfTheMummysTomb the curse of the mummy's tomb]]. We're all doomed to die for this act of desecration!" |
| 131 | * Martha calls her room at Nicky's house the Film/DancingTrees room because she likes to watch the shadows of trees on the ceiling. |
| 132 | * ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' has a TitleDrop as the last line spoken. Also, Harvey Dent says at a press conference, "The night is darkest just before the dawn"; though that's more referencing one of the themes of the film, it's a clever way of doing it by dropping the syllables of the title. |
| 133 | * "I'm everyone -- and no one. Everywhere -- nowhere. Call me... Film/{{Darkman}}." |
| 134 | * ''Film/DaveMadeAMaze'': At the end of the movie, Harry asks Dave for a title for the documentary, Dave suggests "Dave Made a Maze". Harry rejects it for [[LampshadeHanging being too on-the-nose]]. |
| 135 | * The movie ''Film/DeadBirds'' tries to pull a non-verbal version of these. The only scene where a dead bird ever appears -- and yes, it's only one -- has a dramatic sound in the background, and equally dramatic camera zooming on the only ''one'' dead bird that's never mentioned again. The result is that it simply feels [[NightmareRetardant ridiculous]]. |
| 136 | * "Fifteen men on the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest dead man's chest]]..." |
| 137 | ** Oddly enough, this movie also contains a title drop for the ''next'' film in the series when Tia Dalma asks the crew if they're brave enough to sail the waters [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd at world's end]]. |
| 138 | * "When I arrived in Carlotta, I thought of the words Marlowe had said to me over fifteen years ago: Film/DeadMenDontWearPlaid. Huh. Dead men don't wear plaid. I still don't know what it means." |
| 139 | * Every version of Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheDeadZone'' has featured the phrase "the dead zone." However, oddly enough each version ascribes the phrase a different meaning. In [[Film/TheDeadZone the movie]], Johnny explained to another character that his visions of the future were different from his visions of the past or present, in that they had a "dead zone" -- his way of describing a sense that [[SelfDefeatingProphecy change the future seen in his visions the events weren't solid or fixed, but could be prevented]]. |
| 140 | * "Are you sure [your car] is safe?" "It's better than safe. It's Film/DeathProof." |
| 141 | * ''Film/DeathstalkerIIDuelOfTheTitans'': Possibly the cheesiest use of this trope for a numbered sequel. |
| 142 | -->'''Sultana:''' I'll have my revenge, and Deathstalker too. |
| 143 | * "So here's the riddle. What does an eight thousand pound mako shark with a brain the size of a flat head V8 engine and no natural predators think about?" The answer comes after several implausible plot-devices: "That's the answer to the riddle. Because that's what an 8000-pound mako thinks about. About freedom. About the Film/DeepBlueSea." |
| 144 | * "What was his name, [[Film/TheDeparted the, uh, departed?]]" |
| 145 | ** And also at William's mother's funeral, where Costello left a card reading "God Bless the Dearly Departed." |
| 146 | ** The phrase is also said at a funeral at the end of the film. |
| 147 | * "Mark his file...as Film/{{DOA}}" |
| 148 | * A visual one in ''Film/{{Dodsworth}}''. The film opens with Dodsworth, an auto magnage, in his office. The shot is carefully framed so that his name is visible through the window on the side of his factory. |
| 149 | * At the end of the 2008 film ''Film/{{Doubt}}'' [[spoiler: Aloysius breaks down in front of another nun, sobbing "I have doubts! I have such doubts!"]] |
| 150 | * In ''Film/DogDays2018'', the weather girl Alexa mentions the dog days of summer. |
| 151 | * ''WesternAnimation/DownAndDirtyDuck'' has multiple lines of dialogue with the word "cheap" in it. At the last minute the film was renamed from "Cheap" to "(Down And) Dirty Duck", which makes the constant referencing seem out of place. |
| 152 | * Rosa tells Thomas, "Film/DownInTheDelta, there are great big fields to run and play in, and nobody's chasing after you but your own shadow." |
| 153 | * ''Film/DriveHeSaid'' opens with Gabriel watching basketball and reciting the Robert Creeley poem "I Know a Man," which includes the movie's title. |
| 154 | * ''Film/DuckButter'': Nima and Sergio discuss how one guy once stopped going down on the former, because of her apparently having too much smegma. Sergio compares this with manteca de pato, or "duck butter" in English. |
| 155 | * ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar'': "Where's your car dude?" |
| 156 | * “The planet is Arrakis, also known as... [[Film/Dune1984 Dune]].” |
| 157 | * “My desert. My Arrakis. ''My Film/{{dune|2021}}''.” |
| 158 | * ''Film/TheDukeOfBurgundy'': The film's name comes from a type of butterfly. Both protagonists are in lepidopterology, the scientific study of butterflies and moths, with the species being mentioned during the film. |
| 159 | * ''Film/DumbMoney'': The title is a slang term among Wall Street investment firms for "retail investors", i.e. regular people trading individual stocks. It's mentioned and explained by Harmony around the middle of the film. |
| 160 | * ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'': "I didn't want you to think Earth girls were easy." |
| 161 | -->'''Mac:''' What is "easy"?\ |
| 162 | '''Valerie:''' ''[kissing him]'' This is "easy". |
| 163 | * "Good luck, [[ProfessionalKiller Hemlock]], on your latest assignment: Film/TheEigerSanction." |
| 164 | * "Get back, you [[Film/EightLeggedFreaks Eight Legged]] [[TitleScream Freaks!]]" |
| 165 | * The title of ''Film/ElectricDreams'' is heard in the lyrics of four songs played in the movie: "Electric Dreams" by P. P. Arnold, "Together in Electric Dreams" by Giorgio Moroder & Phil Oakey, "Video" by Jeff Lynne, and "Now You're Mine" by Helen Terry. |
| 166 | * This is how the title of ''Film/{{Entrapment}}'' first appears in the movie's dialogue: |
| 167 | -->'''Gin''': I said this is called entrapment.\ |
| 168 | '''Mac''': [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord No, actually it's called blackmail.]] Entrapment is what cops do to thieves. |
| 169 | * "You've just been [[Film/{{Eraser}} erased]]." |
| 170 | * ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'': |
| 171 | -->'''Elliot:''' E.T., can you say that? Can you say E.T.? |
| 172 | -->'''E.T.:''' E.T. |
| 173 | -->(''Elliot laughs in amazement'') |
| 174 | * ''Film/EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind'': The title is [[LiteraryAllusionTitle a line from an Alexander Pope poem]], which Kirsten Dunst recites at one point. |
| 175 | * The last line of ''Film/EverybodysFine'': "If you would ask me I would have to say in all honesty, Everybody's fine. Everybody's fine." |
| 176 | * Creator/AgathaChristie's ''Film/EvilUnderTheSun'', spoken by Hercule Poirot after murder has been done at a luxury beach resort. |
| 177 | * ''Film/Exit0'': When Billy and Lisa decide to stay in a small town for the weekend, they get off at Exit 0 to reach it, as indicated by the sign on the highway. |
| 178 | * "I'm going to take his [[Film/FaceOff face off]]." |
| 179 | ** They didn't just drop this title, they carpet bombed the audience with it - the "face...off" line gets repeated at least 3 times in less than a minute. |
| 180 | * "I'll look out for it. ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem''." |
| 181 | * ''Film/FearCity'': Provided textually; it turns out to be the name of a book the killer is writing to detail his murders. |
| 182 | * ''Film/TheFifthElement'': Drops literally in the first five minutes. |
| 183 | -->'''Water, fire. Earth, air. And this one... The Fifth... Element." |
| 184 | * Happens in ''Film/FirstBlood'', twice in one scene. |
| 185 | -->'''Colonel Trautman:''' Well you did some pushing of your own, John.\ |
| 186 | '''John Rambo:''' They drew first blood, not me.\ |
| 187 | '''Colonel Trautman:''' Look, Johnny, let me come in and get you the hell out of there.\ |
| 188 | '''John Rambo:''' ''(to himself)'' They drew first blood. |
| 189 | * In ''Film/FlyAway'', Jeanne calms Mandy during her panic attacks by singing "Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home." |
| 190 | * "'Film/FlyingDownToRio'... Boy! What a title for a new song! You like that?" "Yeah." |
| 191 | * "'Film/ForeignCorrespondent', eh?" "No, a reporter." |
| 192 | * ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' gets its name from when the main character accuses his father of [[BlackComedyRape sexually molesting his younger brother Freddy]] in order to humiliate him and tarnish his reputation. |
| 193 | * Towards the end of ''Film/FreeWilly'', the KidHero says "Let's free Willy!" |
| 194 | * "Seven. Six. Two. Millimeters. Film/FullMetalJacket." |
| 195 | * "You're a [[Film/FunnyMan funny man]], Mr. Taylor. But I have met [[VillainousHarlequin funnier]]. And you will too." |
| 196 | * In the 1926 silent Colombian film ''[[https://youtu.be/2LInJpP4DTk?t=6m10s Garras de Oro' (Golden Claws)]]'', one of the characters mentions the title (albeit in singular) when referring to the USA taking Panama from Colombia. |
| 197 | --> "That fateful day for my fatherland, the flag that gloriously floated over the isthmus (...) was taken down for ever by bribed hands, by the ''golden claw'', stronger than the honor of the people..." |
| 198 | * In the movie ''Film/GetOut2017'', shouted to the main character by one of the guests at a party. [[spoiler:He's trying to save him from the same fate that he had.]] |
| 199 | --> "Get out! GET OUT!! GET OUT OF HERE!!" |
| 200 | * The ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' live action movie has one, incidentally at the same time that the film reveals who [[spoiler:Cobra Commander]] is. |
| 201 | -->''The time has come for the Cobra to rise.'' |
| 202 | * "The natives call them Film/TheGhostAndTheDarkness." |
| 203 | * ''Film/GiveEmHellMalone'' does this in the scene where the titular character's mother cheers for him to kick ass. |
| 204 | * [[OpeningNarration "Have you ever confused a dream with life?]] Or stolen something when you had the cash? Have you ever been blue, or thought your train was moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was [[TheSixties the '60s.]] Or maybe I was just a [[Film/GirlInterrupted girl ... interrupted."]] |
| 205 | * ''Film/GiveMyRegardsToBroadStreet'' drops its title twice, during flashbacks to the same moment. It takes the second flashback for us to learn, and for the protagonist to realize, its significance. |
| 206 | * "My name is Film/{{Gladiator}}." |
| 207 | * ''Film/Godzilla2014'': |
| 208 | -->"We call him... Gojira." |
| 209 | * ''Film/GoldThroughTheFire'': Near the end when talking to his foster brother Peter uses the title phrase when describing what Russian Christians endured. |
| 210 | * ''Film/GoneBabyGone'': |
| 211 | -->"And if that girl's only hope is you, well I pray for her. 'Cause she's gone, baby. ''Gone.''" |
| 212 | * "They're people like us, they're Film/GoodFellas." |
| 213 | * German movie ''Film/GoodbyeLenin'' manages a visual title drop in its climactic moment, when a woman who was in a coma during the end of communism goes outside for the first time. After seeing west german students, car dealers, and western advertisment posters, she watches a helicopter passing by, carrying a dismantled statue of Lenin that seems to stretch out its hand to her before vanishing in the sunset. |
| 214 | * Defied in ''Film/GoodbyeSolo''. In the second to last scene William very pointedly doesn't say the line as he [[spoiler:goes to (probably) kill himself]]. |
| 215 | * ''Film/GoWestYoungLady'': "Go West, Young Lady" is the name of a song Lola sings in the Crystal Palace. |
| 216 | * ''Film/GrandSlam'': A SpannerInTheWorks the CaperCrew encounter is the new "Grand Slam 70" safe system: an alarm triggered by any sound detected near the safe room by means of a sensitive microphone listens for sounds while the safe and its environs are secured. |
| 217 | * [[BigBad Ronan the Accuser]] mockingly appoints the RagtagBunchOfMisfits as "guardians of the galaxy" in the [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 eponymous film]] during the climax but it becomes an AppropriatedAppelation as Peter says they are indeed the "Guardians of the Galaxy" whilst adding a little [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch "extra" punctuation]] [[PreMortemOneLIner before landing the final blow]] against Ronan. |
| 218 | * "Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner" |
| 219 | * In ''Film/LaHaine'', Vinz expresses his desire to kill a cop if his hospitalized friend (a victim of police brutality) does not wake from his coma, to show that the banlieusards are finished turning the other cheek. His friend Hubert tries to talk him out of it: "La haine attire la haine!" ("Hatred breeds hatred".) |
| 220 | * Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch "Yes kids, you too can win one of the big Halloween 3, that's right, 3 horrific masks.." |
| 221 | * Mullins says she and Ashburn are "Film/TheHeat". [[spoiler:It's a sign of Ashburn's development when she later echoes it]]. |
| 222 | * The martial arts film ''Film/HeadsForSale'' got it's title from the scene where the heroine kills two of the three elite bandits terrorizing the town, and [[DecapitationPresentation then shows them off in a public square]] while yelling at the top of her voice. "Heads for sale! Heads for sale!" |
| 223 | * "Ferris, let's just go bring them home. Film/HenryAndVerlin." |
| 224 | * Done in the most {{Anvilicious}} manner in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical3SeniorYear'': not only is the title of the ShowWithinAShow "Senior Year", but our protagonists end the show by [[NoFourthWall singing a goodbye-to-the-audience song]] as the Title Drops down in front of the screen (in the style of the first movie's poster). And just to make sure that we know what kind of "high school musical" they're on about, they jump up, again like the first movie's poster. |
| 225 | * It's perpetual in ''Film/Highway61'' but the first time Highway 61 is mentioned, Pokey is explaining the iconic roadway to Jackie. |
| 226 | * "I used to be like you...a long time ago. All brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special...like a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads, and won't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know it's wrong in the first place. Maybe...you'll end up like me. A Film/HoboWithAShotgun." |
| 227 | * ''Film/HocusPocus'': Max says "it's all a bunch of hocus pocus" right before accidentally summoning the witches, and later the witches say the same thing when taking their spellbook back. |
| 228 | * The title ''Film/HolyMotors'' appears as a neon sign right before the ending. |
| 229 | * ''Film/HomeAlone'' is used in conversation several times throughout the first film. |
| 230 | * "It must be some kind of...''Film/HotTubTimeMachine''." Craig Robinson lampshades the trope by delivering a deadpan AsideGlance to the camera immediately after saying the line. |
| 231 | * "..But I still have to face Film/TheHours, don't I? I mean, the hours after the party, and the hours after that..." |
| 232 | * "Father, Son, and the Film/HouseOfGucci."[[note]]According to Creator/RidleyScott, this was actually [[ThrowItIn an ad-lib]] by Music/LadyGaga.[[/note]] |
| 233 | * ''Film/{{Hummingbird}}'': Joey often has random hallucinations of the men he killed and of "hummingbirds", the aerial drones in Afghanistan. He explains the term to Sister Christina late in the film. |
| 234 | * ''Happy [[Film/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]], and may the odds be ever in your favor!" |
| 235 | [[/folder]] |
| 236 | |
| 237 | [[folder:I-P]] |
| 238 | * In ''Film/IFrankenstein'', Adam's closing monologue has the final phrase be the title: |
| 239 | --> '''Adam:''' I, descender of the demon horde. I, my father's son. I... Frankenstein. |
| 240 | * ''Film/IKnowWhoKilledMe'' had a really bad drop, since it didn't even make sense in the context of the scene (hint: she wasn't killed). |
| 241 | %%* The climax of ''Film/ILoveYouMan''. |
| 242 | * Steven screaming "Film/ILoveYouPhillipMorris!" when he's being taken to another prison. |
| 243 | * ''Film/ISawWhatYouDid'': While making their prank calls, Libby and Kit says "I saw what you did, and I know who you are". |
| 244 | * Barbara Graham says, "Film/IWantToLive!" In a VoiceoverLetter. |
| 245 | * ''Film/TheIdesOfMarch'' features a subversion. The film's working title of ''Farragut North'' (the name of the play that it's based on) gets title dropped twice. Meanwhile, ''The Ides of March'' is never said once in the film. |
| 246 | * When Mark finally buys one of Nelson's paintings, Nelson says, "I don't know what to say." Mark replies, "Film/IfYouCouldSayItInWords, there would be no reason to paint. Edward Hopper." |
| 247 | * The title of the film ''[[Film/ImNotRappaport I'm Not Rappaport]]'' refers to a classic Vaudeville StraightManAndWiseGuy routine. Within the film itself, the routine plays out twice, once with main protagonists Nat Moyer and Midge Carter and once with Nat and his daughter Clara. The routine opens with the wise guy making a comment to the straight man something along the lines of "Hey, Rappaport! You used to be a short fat guy with a beard, now you're a tall skinny guy with a mustache," to which the straight man replies "I'm not Rappaport." This continues a few rounds with the wise guy making a variation on his comment and each time the straight man replying "I'm not Rappaport," until finally the wise guy delivers the punchline: "And you changed your name too." |
| 248 | * "He said this whole trip, this whole being in Bruges thing, was just to give you one last, joyful memory before you died." "[[Film/InBruges In BRUGES?]]" |
| 249 | * "Film/{{Inception}}, is it possible?" |
| 250 | * "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish, without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. [[ThrowItIn Today... we celebrate... our]] Film/IndependenceDay!" |
| 251 | * Erin writes to her dead boyfriend, "When fate swooped in and snatched you away, I thought surely she'd come for me too. But she didn't. And I'm still here, living Film/InYourAfterglow." |
| 252 | * The words "Film/IStillKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer" suddenly appear on the karaoke screen at the hotel bar, causing Julie to run back to her hotel room. |
| 253 | * In ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'', Clarence drops the title, minus one word, when they visit the cemetery and find his brother's grave. |
| 254 | -->'''Clarence:''' You see, George... you really had a wonderful life! |
| 255 | * "We'll do it like [[Film/TheItalianJob1969 the Italian job]]." |
| 256 | * ''Film/IWantSomeoneToEatCheeseWith'' as Beth delivering the line verbatim to James in Millennium Park. [[spoiler:She's lying.]] |
| 257 | * In ''Film/JackOfTheRedHearts'', Glory correctly identifies a card Jack shows her as "Jack of the red hearts." |
| 258 | * A number of times in the ''Film/JamesBond'' films (excluding the ones named after a significant character or object): |
| 259 | ** "What else do we know about this Chinese gentleman?" "Nothing much, except his name: ''Film/DrNo''" |
| 260 | ** ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' -- Written by Bond on a photo he hands to Moneypenny. |
| 261 | ** "Mr. Bond." "Yes?" "This is Mr. ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}.''" |
| 262 | ** ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' -- it's the name of the operation to retrieve the missing nuclear weapons. |
| 263 | ** "''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', Mr. Bond." |
| 264 | ** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' (though the "On" is never used) |
| 265 | *** The closest thing to the film's actual title drop instead refers to the film's closing song: "There's no hurry, you see? [[Music/LouisArmstrong We have all the time in the world.]]" |
| 266 | ** Averted in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', as no single characters utters the movie title throughout the entirety of the movie. |
| 267 | ** ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' -- It's stated by Bond and appears in a DiegeticSoundtrackUsage scenario. |
| 268 | ** Scaramanga is well-known as Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun, so this movie gets Title Dropped a lot. |
| 269 | *** Rather absurdly, Scaramanga claims toward the end of the film that when his new solar-powered laser becomes active, he "will truly be ''The Man with the Golden Gun''". Scaramanga ''already owns'' a literal golden gun. |
| 270 | ** Though "Nobody Does It Better" is the name of the ThemeTune from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', it still drops the movie's title. But does it so classy: "I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me, it tried to hide from your love light, but like heaven above me. '''The spy who loved me''', is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight." |
| 271 | ** "What do you know about ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''?" |
| 272 | ** ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' -- it's what Melina Havelock says before [[DressHitsFloor removing her dressing gown]]. |
| 273 | ** "Forgive my curiosity, but what is that?" "That's my little ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''." |
| 274 | ** ''Film/AViewToAKill'' -- Incredibly awkwardly forced in this one as May Day and Zorin are looking at San Francisco: |
| 275 | -->'''May Day:''' What a view...\ |
| 276 | '''Zorin:''' ...to a kill. |
| 277 | ** "It must have scared ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'' out of her" -- Uttered by Bond after he [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoots a rifle out of Kara Milovy's hands]]. The same sentence was said verbatim by Bond in [[Literature/OctopussyAndTheLivingDaylights the original novella]], under exactly the same circumstances. |
| 278 | ** "Your Film/LicenceToKill is revoked." Famously, the film was initially titled ''Licence Revoked''. |
| 279 | ** "So, ''Film/GoldenEye'' exists?" |
| 280 | ** Accidentally averted in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies''; originally it was titled ''Tomorrow Never Lies'', with the intent that this would be the slogan of Carver's newspaper, ''Tomorrow''. |
| 281 | *** They pulled it in the video game version, however. As he's dying, Carver pushes the three minute countdown for the nuclear launch and drops it horribly out of place. |
| 282 | ** ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough''-- Uttered by Bond when [[spoiler:he confronts Elektra King]]: |
| 283 | -->'''[[spoiler:Elektra:]]''' [[WeCanRuleTogether I could have given you the world.]]\ |
| 284 | '''Bond:''' The world is not enough.\ |
| 285 | '''[[spoiler:Elektra:]]''' Foolish sentiment.\ |
| 286 | '''Bond:''' ''Family motto''. |
| 287 | ** Said family motto also shows up thirty-some odd years earlier in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService,'' so in a way, ''The World Is Not Enough'' has been title dropped in two films. |
| 288 | ** "So you live to ''Film/DieAnotherDay''...[[spoiler:Colonel.]]" |
| 289 | ** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' -- It is first dropped when Bond is given a word association exercise; he pulls a ScrewThisImOuttaHere when the tester says, "Skyfall." Later, we learn Skyfall is the name of Bond's hated childhood home. |
| 290 | ** ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' -- It showed up 53 years earlier in ''Film/DrNo'', and has been title dropped in at least seven movies. |
| 291 | ** ''Almost'' done in ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' [[spoiler: when Nomi throws Obruchev into the poison pool in Safin's secret base]]. |
| 292 | -->'''[[spoiler:Nomi:]]''' Do you know what time it is? |
| 293 | -->'''[[spoiler:Obruchev:]]''' What? |
| 294 | -->'''[[spoiler:Nomi:]]''' ''Time to die.'' |
| 295 | * ''Film/JuanOfTheDead'': Juan sets up a business killing zombies and answers the phone with a cheerful, "Juan of the Dead, we kill your beloved ones". |
| 296 | * The title characters of a famous French movie were introducing themselves to a girl. To make sure of their names, she asked, "Jim and Jules?" The response? "No, ''Film/JulesAndJim!''" |
| 297 | * In the 2001 indie film ''Film/JumpTomorrow'', George uses the title words to talk a man out of suicide. Later, the man turns the words back at him when telling him to stay another night at the family of the girl he really loves, rather than go to the wedding he's been pressured into. |
| 298 | * "Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sattler, welcome . . . to Film/JurassicPark!" |
| 299 | * During their breakup, Susan tells Frank, "You know, it's just possible they're willing to accept you Film/JustTheWayYouAre down there in Texas." |
| 300 | * David doesn't know how to count money, so he pays people in large bills and says, "[[Film/KeepTheChange2017 Keep the change]]." |
| 301 | * "Looked dead, didn't I? But I wasn't. But it wasn't from lack of trying, I can tell you that. Actually, Bill's last bullet put me in a coma -- a coma I was to lie in for four years. When I woke up, I went on what the movie advertisements refer to as a "RoaringRampageOfRevenge". I roared. And I rampaged. And I got bloody satisfaction. I've killed a hell of a lot of people to get to this point, but I have only one more. The last one. The one I'm driving to right now. The only one left. And when I arrive at my destination, I am gonna Film/KillBill." |
| 302 | * ''Film/KillMeAgain'': Said by Joanne Whalley to Val Kilmer. |
| 303 | * ''Film/KillingThemSoftly'': Hitman Cogan explains that he prefers to "kill them softly" at an impersonal distance to avoid unpleasantness beforehand. Notably, the director hid the fact that he planned to change the name of the film (originally ''Cogan's Trade'') so that Brad Pitt wouldn't realize he was delivering a Title Drop. |
| 304 | * ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'' deserves some credit for making its Title Drop fit in naturally with a larger conversation about what it is that makes the Holy Land so appealing to many pilgrims. |
| 305 | -->'''Balian:''' What could a king ask of a man like me?\ |
| 306 | '''Godfrey:''' A new world. A better world than has ever been seen. A kingdom of conscience. A kingdom of heaven. |
| 307 | ** A second one occurs near the end of the film; this one too makes perfect sense and fits in naturally with the dialogue. |
| 308 | --> '''Balian:''' I have [[spoiler:surrendered Jerusalem]]. All will be safely escorted to the sea. If this is indeed the Kingdom of Heaven, then let God do with it as he will. |
| 309 | * ''Film/KingOfThieves'': During one of his rants, Terry sarcastically refers to Brian as "the king of thieves". |
| 310 | * The title of the movie ''Film/KissOfTheDragon'' refers to the special forbidden technique that Jet Li uses to kill the BigBad. |
| 311 | * ''Film/KnivesOut'': Benoit Blanc describes the Thrombey family as "a pack of vultures at the feast: knives out, beaks bloody" when referring to how they act like hungry vultures around their patriarch's corpse and how quick they are to turn on one another. |
| 312 | * Alex tells Lara "Well, you're the [[Film/LaraCroftTombRaider Tomb Raider]]." |
| 313 | * ''Film/TheLastKingOfScotland'' performs a Title Drop in one of Amin's speeches - incorporating one of the titles Amin gave himself, "The Last King of Scotland" (the others being "[[TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular]]"). |
| 314 | * ''Film/LaserMission'', a goofy espionage flick starring Brandon Lee and Ernest Borgnine, has an awkward example: |
| 315 | -->'''Nameless Government Official:''' Professor Braun is perhaps the world's leading expert in laser weaponry, and his presence in the Kavango means that the Soviet block is planning some sort of laser mission. That could tip the balance of power in the entire African continent. |
| 316 | * "See, now it is mumbo jumbo like that, and skinny little lizards like you thinkin' they Film/TheLastDragon that gives kung-fu a bad name." |
| 317 | * A particularly brilliant title drop occurs in the Creator/AnthonyPerkins / Music/StephenSondheim-penned murder mystery ''Film/TheLastOfSheila''. Seemingly referring to the [[TheChessmaster puzzle-happy Clinton Green's]] obsession with his wife who was killed in a hit-and-run accident ("I wonder if we'll ever hear the last of Sheila?" says one character), the title is actually a clue to a puzzle set up near the beginning of the play, which ultimately reveals Clinton's murderer: [[spoiler: Each of the six guests / suspects are given 'dirty secrets' that actually ''are'' the secrets of one of their fellow guests. Each secret corresponds to a letter in the word "Sheila"; the murderer is uncovered when one guest acting as detective cracks the puzzle and realises that the murderer replaced the final secret, "Alcoholic", with "Hit and Run Killer", in order to guilt someone into confessing their accidental killing of Sheila. As the detective points out, "the ''last of Sheila'' isn't an H, it's an A."]] |
| 318 | * "Film/TheLastStarfighter...is dead." Oh, they go NUTS with this trope. |
| 319 | * ''Film/TheLastWinter'': Documentation and research found in an abandoned shack in the middle of the Arctic by another team member suggest that the Earth is releasing 'The Last Winter'. |
| 320 | * "Your honor, I am a [[Film/LawAbidingCitizen law-abiding citizen]]." |
| 321 | * Near the end of ''Film/LayerCake'', a major character (Michael Gambon) who's struggled to the top explains how life works to the protagonist (Daniel Craig). He sums it up with "Welcome to the layer cake, son." The main character is then seen having dinner with his friends and deciding [[spoiler: he doesn't want to be part of organized crime anymore]]. Guess what they're eating. |
| 322 | * At the beginning of the first ''Film/LethalWeapon'' "Well, I guess you should be classified as a Lethal Weapon", Murtaugh says to Riggs. |
| 323 | * The mentally disabled Roger Meyers gives a speech about wanting to marry the woman he loves, Film/LikeNormalPeople. |
| 324 | * While in the previous World War 2 blockbuster based on a Cornelius Ryan book, Field Marshal Rommel makes his speech incorporating the quote from which the title ''Film/TheLongestDay'' was taken right at the beginning. |
| 325 | * ''Film/TheLittleRascals'': Somewhat. During the go-kart derby, Alfalfa and Spanky take a detour by accident leading them to a shopping center; they whizz through the front of a supermarket and ram into an old man who then calls out to them, "YOU LITTLE RASCALS!" |
| 326 | * ''Film/TheLookout'': "That's the most important job of all.. you're the lookout." |
| 327 | * Creator/MauriceChevalier to Jeanette [=MacDonald=]: "Listen, my beautiful princess, I love you! I love you! And whatever comes tomorrow, love me tonight. ''Film/LoveMeTonight!"'' |
| 328 | * Each of the movies in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy feature a Title Drop, mostly to stem [[IAmNotShazam the confusion about what they refer to]]. In the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing first movie]], Elrond proclaims "You shall be ''the Fellowship of the Ring''!" In the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers second movie]], Saruman says "Who now dares to stand against the union of ''the two towers''?" In the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing third movie]], Gandalf says to Denethor "It is not your place to deny ''the return of the King'', steward!" Although the meanings of the first and third titles were already pretty clear, the books never came out and said which of the ''three'' towers that figured decisively in ''The Two Towers'' were the title ones. The movie line refers to Saruman's tower, Orthanc, and Sauron's fortress of Barad-dûr. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary information (among them the Tolkien-drawn book cover)]] show Orthanc and Minas Morgul. The latter isn't in the film [[note]]much of the Frodo-and-Sam plot that was in ''The Two Towers'' in the novel was shifted to ''Return of the King'' for the films, including the pieces that take place in the vicinity of Minas Morgul[[/note]], so it wouldn't make sense otherwise. |
| 329 | ** Creator/PeterJackson also had a habit of dropping chapter titles into ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', although having characters refer to "the long-expected party" and "a shortcut to mushrooms" was more [[ContinuityNod in-jokey]] than portentous. Composer Howard Shore got in on the act in the titles of some of the pieces of the score he wrote. |
| 330 | *** Bilbo's line "I'm not at home!" may refer to the chapter "Not at Home" from ''Literature/TheHobbit''. |
| 331 | *** Gandalf also mutters the words "riddles in the dark" to himself while waiting for Frodo. That's the chapter of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' in which Bilbo finds the Ring. |
| 332 | ** Also: "There is only one '''Lord of the Ring''', only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power!" This line is used, as in the book, to prevent audience-members from [[ProtagonistTitleFallacy thinking that the title refers to Frodo]]. |
| 333 | ** ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'' has this: |
| 334 | -->'''Bilbo:''' What is this place? |
| 335 | -->'''Balin:''' Once, it was the kingdom of Dale. Now, it is a ruin. The Desolation of Smaug. |
| 336 | * André Baptiste calls Orlov the "Film/LordOfWar". He does it again later, when he is persuading Orlov to take up the arms trading business again. |
| 337 | * ''Film/LostInAlaska'': After the boys set off from Skagway and lose their dog team: |
| 338 | -->'''Tom''': "You know what this means? We're lost in Alaska!" |
| 339 | * "But I believe that [[Film/LoveActually love actually]] is all around us." |
| 340 | * ''Film/LuckyNumberSlevin'': a key part of TheReveal, explaining the origin and relevance of Slevin's unusual name. |
| 341 | * ''Film/MadMoney'': Bridget's mother apparently told her that every woman should keep a stash of "mad money". Jackie asks whether it's for when you "go mad" or when you "get mad". |
| 342 | * ''Film/Mako2021'': Around the film's climax, one of the surviving film crew members identifies the shark as a Mako. |
| 343 | * ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'': |
| 344 | -->'''Shannon Hamilton:''' Smart-ass ex-boyfriend! I've got two things to tell you. One: I don't like you. I see you every week in this mall. I don't like you shiftless layabouts. You're one of those loser fucking mallrat kids. You don't come to the mall to shop or work. You hang out all day, act like you fucking live here. Well, I have no respect for people with no shopping agenda. |
| 345 | * ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'': The Master says |
| 346 | -->'''Manos'''! God of primal darkness! As thou hast decreed, so have I done. '''The hands of fate''' have doomed this man. Thy will is done! |
| 347 | * ''Film/MargaritaWithAStraw'': While in a bar, Laila decides on a "margarita... with a straw" as her drink. |
| 348 | * "The cow's tongue means you've talked or exposed them and have been Film/MarkedForDeath." |
| 349 | * "You're a con man?" "Con artist. A Flimflam Man, [[Film/MatchstickMen Matchstick Man]], Loser". |
| 350 | * Half of one in ''Film/MaxKeeblesBigMove'', with "Are you ready for the big move?" |
| 351 | * In ''Film/MeanGirls'', during Janis's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Cady, she says "You are a MEAN GIRL! You're a ''BITCH''!" |
| 352 | * ''Film/MenInBlack'': When James Edwards gets inducted into the titular organization: |
| 353 | -->'''Zed:''' From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. [[TheNondescript You'll not stand out in any way]]. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. [[GovernmentConspiracy You are a rumor]], [[WeirdnessCensor recognizable only as déjà vu]] and [[IWasNeverHere dismissed just as quickly]]. [[TheSpook You don't exist]]. [[{{Unperson}} You were never even born]]. [[TheNameless Anonymity is your name]]; [[TheStoic silence, your native tongue]]. [[CowboyCop You're no longer part of the System]]. [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it.]] We're 'them'. We're 'they'. We are the '''Men in Black'''. |
| 354 | * A particularly awkward example in ''Film/MissionImpossibleII'': |
| 355 | --> "Mr. Hunt, this isn't mission difficult, it's mission impossible." |
| 356 | * "I can't run the store!" "Why not?" "Because ''you'' have to run it!" "That's not a good reason." "It's called [[Film/MrMagoriumsWonderEmporium Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium]]! It ''rhymes''!" |
| 357 | * ''Film/MrNiceGuy'': |
| 358 | -->'''[[IntrepidReporter Diana]]:''' By the way, I'm Diana. |
| 359 | -->'''Jackie:''' I'm [[TheDanza Jackie]]. |

She was the only earthly love in my life, yet I never knew, nor ever learned, her name. |
| 381 | * ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIITheNextChapter'' has Bastian's late mom's last words be a TitleDrop of sorts. [[http://www.agonybooth.com/agonizer/The_NeverEnding_Story_II__The_Next_Chapter_1990.aspx?Page=4 Proof.]] |
| 382 | * ''Film/NeverRarelySometimesAlways'': The title phrase comes from the sexual-history questionnaire Autumn is walked through by a nurse at Planned Parenthood, with each of the named options being a possible answer for each question. |
| 383 | * ''Film/Nightfall1988'': Sor, the religious leader, has come to argue with Aton, the scientific leader. Aton insists that he be told what Sor has planned, and Sor talks about the stories in the Book of Illumination, identifying the upcoming eclipse as nightfall. The secret holy book tells him that this event has occurred several times before. |
| 384 | -->"This... night... fall... will be the ninth nightfall and the darkness one of all."--Sor |
| 385 | * In ''Nil By Mouth'', Ray gives a speech about his father that goes some way toward explaining his behaviour. During it, he mentions an incident in which he saw the words 'Nil By Mouth' written above his father's hospital bed. |
| 386 | * ''Film/{{Nope}}'': "Nope" is said several times throughout the film. Given the circumstances of what's happening in these moments, this is an entirely valid reaction. [[spoiler:The first time "nope" is heard during the film is the Gordy incident.]] |
| 387 | * In ''Ocean's 12'', someone refers to the team as "[[Film/OceansEleven Ocean's 11]]", the name of the previous movie. One of the characters later complains about this. |

| 393 | ** Larry claims the only thing he loves more than money is other people's money. |
| 394 | ** Larry uses a shell corporation in his takeover schemes called OPM. Which stands for... |

| 396 | * "Film/OverTheTop, Dad!" |
| 397 | * Daniel mentions the phrase ''Film/PainAndGain'' when talking about fitness to a kid. |
| 398 | * Too many musicals to list have title songs, but the movie version of ''Theatre/ThePajamaGame'' deserves credit for having the title card appear word by word as Hines sings, "The Pajama Game is the game I'm in..." |
| 399 | * ''Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Count the number of times they say some variation of "Lightning Thief" in the first movie. |

| 402 | * Failed in ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'': Criswell says "My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts of ''grave robbers from outer space''?" ''Grave Robbers from Outer Space'' was the original title, but [[ExecutiveMeddling the backers of the movie had it changed]]. |
| 403 | * The UK educational film ''Film/PlaySafe'' ends with the owl and robin telling the viewers to well, play safe, after having given tips on avoiding getting themselves injured or killed by high voltage electricity. |
| 404 | * Not in ''Film/PleaseTurnOver'' itself, but in Jo's book, ''Naked Revolt'': |
| 405 | -->'''Blanche's Voiceover''': I hated them ''all'' for their hypocrisy and swore there and then that I would not be a hypocrite. I too would revolt against convention, but openly. Mine would be a ''naked revolt''. |
| 406 | * ''Film/PrairieFever'': The mayor and the preacher diagnose the mental conditions the {{Mail Order Bride}}s are suffering from as 'prairie fever': a malaise brought one by being unable to cope with the wide open spaces of the prairies. |
| 407 | * "Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call 'Film/ThePrestige'." |
| 408 | * ''Film/PrincessCyd'': It turns out that a children's book Miranda wrote is named this, after the main character. Cyd thinks it was named after her. It turns out to be the opposite though, as her mom really liked the book. |
| 409 | * At the end of the film, Frank Castle [[ThatManIsDead accepted his fate as a wanted vigilante]] by forsaking his name and calling himself [[Film/ThePunisher2004 The Punisher]]. |

| 424 | -->'''James:''' I'ma take you on a ride along. |

| 427 | * "Eventually, all things merge into one, and Film/ARiverRunsThroughIt". |
| 428 | * ''Film/RoboCop2'' is one of the rare cases this trope has been done by a sequel with a number in the title. Normally this wouldn't count, considering that "[=RoboCop=] 2" is a "character" in the movie, but it's ''that'' unusual. |
| 429 | * Brilliantly subverted in the Indie Movie ''Rocket Science''; the main character has a stutter, and when trying to figure out love, he says, "You know, it shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be, it shouldn't be rocket, uh, shouldn't be rocket, um, sometimes..." stopping just short of saying the whole title. |
| 430 | * When asked for the callsign of the ship they've hijacked for their rogue mission to steal the Death Star plans, Bodhi replies ''"It's Rogue... Film/RogueOne!"'' |
| 431 | * A near-miss in ''Film/RomancingTheStone'': |
| 432 | -->'''Ralph:''' Well at least I'm honest: I'm stealing this stone. I'm not trying to romance it out from under her. |
| 433 | * A threefer occurs in ''Film/TheRundown'', which [[AC:{{Title Drop}}s]] the title ("Your kid was a tough rundown, Billy"), the working title (sign reading "El Dorado" vandalized to read "Helldorado") and an alternate title ("Welcome to the Jungle, tough guy"). |
| 434 | * In ''Film/RurouniKenshinTheLegendEnds'', Hoji smugly declares "Densetsu no... saigo da!" ("The legend... ends here!") during [[spoiler:Kenshin's public execution. Of course, [[BigDamnHeroes it's not over yet]].]] |
| 435 | * "No problem, just Film/RushHour". |
| 436 | * "Someday we might look back on this and decide that Film/SavingPrivateRyan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this whole godawful, shitty mess.'' |
| 437 | * ''Film/TheSecret2007'': Near the end, when Sam "wakes up" Ben says he has to tell her a secret (about her mother sharing her body), which they kept from everyone else since it would seem too absurd. |
| 438 | * A rare [[Creator/TheCoenBrothers Coen brothers]] example has Sy Ableman described as "Film/ASeriousMan" at his funeral. |
| 439 | * ''Film/SecretsAndLies'': |

| 441 | * ''Film/SerialKilling4Dummys'': Casey presents a paper to Mr. Korn's class entitled "Serial Killing 4 Dummys" (making it also a MetafictionalTitle). |

| 446 | * ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness'': Johnnie's father in the StoryWithinAStory tells his son that "there is no shortcut to happiness". The line gets a callback several times, especially during Stone's trial. |
| 447 | * In ''Film/ShowMeLove'', the original Swedish title ''Fucking Åmål'' is dropped gloriously by Elin: "Varför måste vi bo i fucking, jävla kuk-Åmål?!" ("Why do we have to live in fucking, bloody cock-Åmål?!") |
| 448 | * ''Film/SignatureMove'': Wrestlers having a signature move is brought up when Zaynab gets into wrestling. [[spoiler:At the end, Zaynab claims kissing Alma is her own.]] |
| 449 | * In ''Film/TheSleepingCardinal'', Roland Adair starts writing a confession that begins "The Sleeping Cardinal made me...", but is killed before he gets any further, leaving what appeals to a baffling suicide note. |
| 450 | * ''Film/{{Sleepers}}'': Shakes explains the title of the movie at one point. |
| 451 | -->'''Shakes''': King Benny's sleepers were making their play. "Sleepers" was a street name for anyone who had spent time in a juvenile facility. |
| 452 | * Takes until the end credits for ''Film/SleepingDogs1977'', when the theme song plays, with the line "let sleeping dogs lie." |
| 453 | * "You've got nothing kiddo. Film/SnakeEyes. The house wins." |
| 454 | * To some degree: "[[Film/SnakesOnAPlane I have had it with these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!]]" It's a kind of chicken-and-egg story: ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' was the working title when the movie was in production, then it was going to be changed to something less colorful. When Creator/SamuelLJackson heard this, he informed the producers that the title was the ''reason'' he signed on in the first place. So the movie embraced the feeling, and re-shot certain scenes for an R rating. So the title secured the star, who kept the title, which caused reshoots, which led to the [[AC:TitleDrop]]. |
| 455 | * ''Film/{{SOB}}'': One of the characters refers to to the studio's latest stunt as "S.O.B". He then explains to a bewildered listener that it stands for "standard operational bullshit". |
| 456 | * ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'': |
| 457 | -->'''"Junior":''' Syncopators. Does that mean you play that very fast music...jazz?\ |
| 458 | '''Sugar:''' Yeah. Real hot.\ |
| 459 | '''"Junior":''' I guess some like it hot. I personally prefer classical music. |
| 460 | * The last line of ''Film/SorryWrongNumber'' is [[spoiler:George's]] voice saying "Sorry, wrong number" before the handset is placed back on the receiver. |
| 461 | * Notable for how quick the drop is: the very first (sung) line "The hills are alive, with Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic..." |
| 462 | * ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' went so far as to turn it into a song for their finale. |
| 463 | * "They're Film/SpiesLikeUs. |
| 464 | * In ''Film/SplendorInTheGrass'', the Wordsworth poem where the title is coming from is discussed at an English class. |
| 465 | * Titles Drop like flies in Weird Al's "Theme From Spy Hard," which is the theme from ''Film/SpyHard''. |
| 466 | * ''Film/StandClearOfTheClosingDoors'' is set largely in the UsefulNotes/NewYorkCitySubway. The title appears twice, once in Spanish and once in English. |
| 467 | * ''FRanchise/StarTrek'': |
| 468 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'', Chancellor Gorkon proposes a toast to "The Undiscovered Country: the future." Justified because everyone is constantly spouting Creator/WilliamShakespeare throughout the movie; but it's played as a bit of a gaffe/uncomfortable foreshadowing, because the real "undiscovered country" in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' is death. |
| 469 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' Zefram Cochrane says: "So you guys are astronauts, on some kind of Star Trek?". |
| 470 | *** It's worth noting that across 28 seasons of TV shows and 12 movies this is the ''only'' time the phrase "star trek" is uttered, though one other instance comes close. |
| 471 | * The German dub of ''Star Wars: Film/AttackOfTheClones'' has Yoda deliver one at the end, in place of "Clone War". Badly done since [[spoiler:it's in a negative context, implying that Yoda considers the clones the worst part of the mess, even though they're on the same side]]. |
| 472 | * In ''Star Wars: Film/TheLastJedi'', the trope was used twice in the same conversation. When Kylo Ren finds Luke, he claims that he'll finally be able to kill the last Jedi. Luke then turns right around and says that he ''isn't'' the last Jedi anymore. |
| 473 | * "It's not 'Door to Heaven', it's... Film/{{Stargate}}." |
| 474 | * ''Film/TheStrawberryStatement'' is how characters refer to a comment by a faculty member: "Whether the students vote yes or no on a given issue means as much to me as if they were to tell me they like strawberries." |
| 475 | * ''Film/StreetAngel'': {{Streetwalker}} Lisetta calls Angela a street angel like her when they meet in jail. |
| 476 | * "Dexter Reilly's Film/TheStrongestManInTheWorld!" |
| 477 | * "So that's it, huh? What, we're some kinda ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}''." Being an especially on-the-nose line from an already very polarizing movie, it quickly jumped on the fast track to becoming meme. |
| 478 | ** "So this is ''[[Film/TheSuicideSquad The]]'' famous ''[[Film/TheSuicideSquad Suicide Squad]]''?" |
| 479 | --->'''Rick Flag:''' Well, we consider that term [[AtrociousAlias degrading]]. The official term is Task Force X. |
| 480 | * "Okay listen up. I wanna know it all, everything. Olsen, I wanna see photos of him everywhere. No, I want the photos. Sports, how are they going to get that plane out of the stadium? Travel, where did he go? Was he on vacation? If so, where? Gossip, has he met somebody? Fashion, is that a new suit? Uh, health, has he gained weight? What's he been eating? Business, how is this gonna effect the stock market? Long-term? Short-term? Politics, does he still stand for truth, justice, all that stuff? Lifestyle... Film/SupermanReturns." |
| 481 | * ''Film/Summerland2020'': "Summerland" is the old Celtic pagan idea of {{Heaven}}, which Alice and Frank discuss extensively. |
| 482 | * ''Film/TheSunIsAlsoAStar'': Natasha says "The sun's also a star" when discussing with Daniel the usage of stars versus the sun in poetry (she really enjoys astronomy). |
| 483 | * ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'', at the end of the film, our heroes see a segment on the "Our Miraculous World" show detailing their exploits in saving the missing Brooklyn girls and stopping Koopa's plot; |
| 484 | -->'''Newcaster:''' I'd call them the ''Super'' Mario Bros.. |
| 485 | * In ''Film/SuspectZero'', the titular numbered suspect is often mentioned in the cryptic communications between FBI Agent Mackelway and SerialKiller O'Ryan. |
| 486 | * In ''Film/TheSweetestThing'', Christina introduces a man named Peter to her friend Jane at a dance club. When Peter rejects Jane, Christina explains that she was trying to pair a woman up for him, to which he sarcastically responds, "That is the sweetest thing." |
| 487 | * Played with in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'': |
| 488 | -->'''Leonardo:''' We're ninjas.\ |
| 489 | '''Raphael:''' We're ''mutants''.\ |
| 490 | '''Donatello:''' Technically we're turtles.\ |
| 491 | '''Michelangelo:''' Oh, and we're teenagers, but we can still have "adult conversations".\ |
| 492 | '''April:''' Ninja, mutant, turtle, teenagers?\ |
| 493 | '''Donatello:''' When you put it like that, it sounds ridiculous! |
| 494 | * ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII''. Despite it's being a CharacterTitle, the characters aren't referred to as such. |
| 495 | --> '''Walker:''' What kind of demons are you? |
| 496 | --> '''Leonardo:''' We're Turtles, friend. |
| 497 | --> '''Donatello:''' ...of the Teenage Mutant Ninja variety, sleazeball. |
| 498 | * In the giant mutant ant flick ''Film/{{Them}}'', the title is what a traumatized young girl screams when given a whiff of formic acid. |
| 499 | ** Later on, a scientist quips "We haven't seen the end of ''them!''" |
| 500 | * This is provided textually in ''Film/TheyLive''. Nada comes across some street graffiti stating "They Live. We Sleep." It refers to the aliens who are secretly ruling mankind. |
| 501 | * As Robert is being arrested for shooting Gloria at the end of ''Film/TheyShootHorsesDontThey'': |
| 502 | -->'''Policeman:''' Why'd you do it, kid?\ |
| 503 | '''Robert:''' Because she asked me to.\ |
| 504 | '''Policeman:''' Obliging bastard. Is that the only reason you got, kid?\ |
| 505 | '''Robert:''' ''(shrugs)'' They shoot horses, don't they? |
| 506 | * ''Film/TheyThem2022'': "They/them" are Jordan's pronouns, used early on when Jordan first arrives at the camp. |
| 507 | * ''Film/TheThirdMan'': |
| 508 | -->'''Popescu:''' Can I ask is Mr. Martins engaged in a new book?\ |
| 509 | '''Holly:''' Yes, it's called ''The Third Man''.\ |
| 510 | '''Popescu:''' A novel, Mr. Martins?\ |
| 511 | '''Holly:''' It's a murder story. I've just started it. It's based on fact. |
| 512 | * ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain'' is the title of the book Larry writes based on the events of the movie. |
| 513 | * ''Film/TogetherTogether'''s title comes from Anna and Jules discussing her relationship with Matt. Jules says that although Anna and Matt are not together-together (i.e. an item), they can still have a strong, special bond. |
| 514 | * One of the least obvious, and most famous book/film titles of all time: "... remember it was sin to kill a mockingbird" in ''Film/ToKillAMockingbird'' |
| 515 | * At the end of ''Film/ToSirWithLove,'' "Sir" (Sidney Poitier) gets a coffee cup tagged "To Sir With Love" from the class of former delinquents he taught. |
| 516 | * The title of ''Film/ToWongFooThanksForEverythingJulieNewmar'' comes from an autographed photograph of Creator/JulieNewmar that the main trio sees, which Chichi reads aloud. |
| 517 | * "I just can't believe it! I have to give you two your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best! You two characters are going to Film/TopGun!" |
| 518 | * "I just got an invitation through the mails:/"Your presence requested this evening, it's formal/A Film/TopHat, a white tie and tails" |
| 519 | * "He could have [[Film/TotalRecall1990 total recall]] within the hour!" |
| 520 | * ''Film/ToughGuysDontDance'' features one early on thats rather laughable and has nothing to do with the film: |
| 521 | --> Six months ago, they told me to stop or I was dead. I stopped. Now the spirits circle around my bed and they tell me to dance. I tell 'em, "Tough guys don't dance." They answer me, "Keep dancin'." |
| 522 | * The working title of ''Film/TheToxicAvenger'' was "The Monster Hero", so that phrase shows up repeatedly. As it stands, the trope is averted -- nobody uses the phrase "Toxic Avenger". |
| 523 | * "Today is a Film/TrainingDay, Officer Hoyt." |
| 524 | * ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'' has a clever title drop: |
| 525 | -->'''Ron Witwicky''': "Better call the city! We've got a blown transformer!" |
| 526 | ** Cogman provides one in ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight''. |
| 527 | -->'''Cogman''': "You're the last knight. You're the Earl's special guy. You figure it out," |
| 528 | * When Caster is discussing the principal of an A.I. with a full range of human emotions. "Some scientists refer to this as the singularity. I call it ''Film/{{Transcendence}}''." |
| 529 | * ''Film/Transylvania65000'' is how Fejos answers the telephone. |
| 530 | * ''Film/Tremors5Bloodlines'': Travis blurts out "Bloodlines" when [[spoiler:he reveals himself to be Burt Gummer's son.]] |
| 531 | * "They tell me you are a man with Film/TrueGrit." |
| 532 | * When John spots a patient walking twice around the garden so he can be dismissed from Lenton Sanatorium in ''Film/TwiceRoundTheDaffodils'': |
| 533 | -->'''John:''' What the 'ell is 'e up to? |
| 534 | -->'''Bob:''' ''Twice 'round the daffodils''. |
| 535 | -->'''John:''' ({{Beat}}) What daffodils? |
| 536 | * Towards the end of ''Film/{{Unthinkable}}'', Creator/SamuelLJackson's character, a torture expert working for the US military, says "what I am about to do...is unthinkable". |

| 544 | * During the FinalBattle in ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'', Carnage declares, "Let there be carnage!" |
| 545 | * ''Film/WallStreetMoneyNeverSleeps'' has a partial one: "Money is the bitch that never sleeps". |
| 546 | * ''Film/WarForThePlanetOfTheApes'' drops the title of the entire franchise in a vaguely clumsy way: |
| 547 | --> '''Colonel [=McCullough=]''': "This is our last stand, and if we lose, it will be a planet of apes." |
| 548 | * ''Film/WarGames'': [=McKittrick=] introduces the WOPR system: |
| 549 | -->'''[=McKittrick=]:''' These computers give instant access to the state of the world. Troop movements, Soviet missile tests, weather patterns. It all flows into this room and then into what we call [[MasterComputer the WOPR computer]]. |
| 550 | -->'''Watson:''' WOPR? What's that? |
| 551 | -->'''[=McKittrick=]:''' [[FunWithAcronyms It's a War Operations Planning Response]]. This is Mr. Richter. Paul, would you like to tell these gentlemen about the WOPR? |
| 552 | -->'''Richter:''' Well, the WOPR spends all its time thinking about WorldWarIII. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it plays an endless series of '''[=WarGames=]''' using all available information on the state of the world. The WOPR has already fought World War III as a game time and time again. It estimates Soviet responses to our responses to their responses and so on. It estimates damage, counts the dead, and it looks for ways to improve the score. |
| 553 | * ''[[Film/WeAreMarshall WE ARE! MARSHALL!]]'' Also doubles as ArcWords. |
| 554 | * The end of ''Film/WeWereSoldiers'' has a war photographer narrating "...for we were soldiers once, and young". This is directly lifted from the historical novel ''"We Were Soldiers Once, And Young"'', which ends the exact same way. |

| 565 | -->'''Djinn:''' [after Morgana wishes him to go back in the opal] I see you've done your homework. Unfortunately for you, it's not that easy. After all, I am the ''wishmaster'' here. So any wishes pertaining to me are circumscribed by the prophecy. |
