Movies like "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael" but not like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
"Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael" is a 1990 movie that (as you can see) stars Winona Ryder. Except Ryder does not play Roxy Carmichael, she plays a character named Dinky Bossetti. WHRM also stars Jeff Daniels, who also does not play the title character.
Can you name some other movies with a character's name in the title, but that character is not one of the movie's leads?
BTW, Roxy Carmichael was directed by Jim Abrahams of ZAZ fame, who also directed Hot Shots (shout out to another thread!).
Ryder looking sexy at the time

Are you people just naming titles with names in them? Garbo, Ned Devine, and John Malkovich appear in their respective films.
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Edited to add: I was also going to call out the OP as Roxy Carmichael does appear. I misread the post and thought it was a character who doesnt appear at all. Sorry. Carry on.

Gotcha.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rocky is a minor character.
Dr Strangelove is a secondary character played by a lead actor.
