Movie titles that sum up the movie PERFECTLY?
so syphoning off my other, i know there are a lot of titles that fit a movie to a tee, but not all of them can convey exactly what the entire movie is all about simply from the title.
a title that so encapsulates a film you don't need a description going in basically. biopics, superhero, and character title movies not included as most are self-explanatory already.
this isn't a thread based on movies that you know and love and couldn't see it be titled anything else, this is a title of a movie that sums up the entire movie whether you liked the movie, think it is a good one or not.
sure, "Jaws" is the perfect title now, but going back to '75 or whenever you saw it for the first time, if you didn't see a trailer or know anything about it, would you equate the title with a shark?
imo:
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Fight Club
After Hours
An American Werewolf in London
Clerks
Night of the Living Dead
so i want to see what movies you think you can pretty much get the gist of the whole thing simply by the title...

i wanted to share the wealth. sure, we can all come up with long lists, "Star Wars" is a pretty perfect title, but what fun would that be for another?
