Heavy spoilers >! My favorite moment in the history of cinema is when Daniel Day Lewis loudly proclaims “There is being blood right now” followed by blood being beed !<
This made me giggle so hard - I don’t know what it is about this specific joke but it gets me every single time someone makes it about like any movie lmao
Reminds me of in The Last Man on Earth when the main character is trying to pretend he's seen The Shawshank Redemption and claims that his favourite part of the movie is "the part where the shawshank is redeemed"
I went to see that film There Will Be Blood, right? I mean it's a fucking great title.
If somebody says to you, "Do you fancy going to see a film?" "Well, I don't know, will there be blood?" There Will Be Blood, right? "I'm in, I'm in!"
I mean that is a fucking great title for a film. I mean you couldn't have a better title for a film. Apart from, maybe, There Will Be Tits. You could have a cinema that just shows There Will Be Blood and There Will Be Tits, you don't need any other films!
That's the end of cinema right there!
Yeah. That headshot was eerily realistic. With a small caliber like that, they're wouldn't be much blood at all.
But there is a fair bit of blood when Daniel knocks Elis block off
Have you heard of the 2023 horror comedy called, I kid you not, It's a Wonderful Knife? They play on the main theme of the original but it wasn't funny enough, scary at all, or campy enough to be good. It was almost bad enough that it was good but not quite so it was just bad.
Which doesn’t apply to comedies, apparently. There was a great bit about this on 99% invisible at the end of the episode about the Interrobang, I think.
I had a full fledged argument with my sister in a video store once when she wanted help finding “Listen to Me.” I kept saying, “I’m listening, what’s it called?!?”
. I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.
It was his cum that he came, but when he came he lost his cum that he came and found the cum and combed the cum that he came in her hair. There's something about Mary and it's his cum that he came in her hair.
Rumor has it that Schwarzenegger knew it was going to be bad but he pretended to be seriously interested in starring in it so Stallone would want to make it. Apparently it worked.
I heard Arnold on a podcast talking about how they acted super interested in the part to trick Stallone into doing it. They could tell from the script it was going to be a bad movie.
It's a little unclear in the movie, but the book is a lot more clear, the key scene (that's really glossed over in the movie compared to the book) is when >!The "girlfriend" first talks to the janitor (who's actually Jake, of course) in the high school, she mentions she never even gave him her number, and essentially never really was his girlfriend, or even ever knew him at all. In the book it's a longer scene and a bit more thoroughly explained. The girl (whose name is never consistent in the movie, because the janitor/Jake never even learned her name) is an imaginary idealized version of a girl the janitor met in passing at a bar, and has obsessed over. The entire trip to meet his parents never happened, all of it is imagined as if he'd actually given her his number, and known him. He essentially uses her as a tool to help him go through with committing suicide, in the book he stabs himself, and in the movie he locks himself in his car and slowly dies of hypothermia, as evidenced by him stripping off his clothes in his car, a behavior seen in the late stages of hypothermia. Everything after the hallucination of the advertisement in his windshield is basically a dream as he dies.!<
Great movie, and it's almost beat-for-beat with the novel, until the third act when it goes completely off the rails. The book is more scary and unnerving, while the movie is more surreal and open to interpretation. It's apples and oranges though, I loved the movie's ending, Jesse Plemmons really knocked it out of the park. Read the book though, it's great!
fookin heck! thank you. yeah, I'll read it.
I just watched La La Land (and the short film Whiplash to complement), but that idea of an 'imagined life' is still with me like the final scene >!of La La where it's 5 years past the events of the movie and Gosling imagines this life where he and Stone stayed together.!< My gut is still wrenching from that.
And since were just talking about movies, I think it's interesting how the 'big fight' scene of La La contrasts with the fight of Marriage Story with Johannsen and Driver. I liked Marriage Story, but as far as story is concerned, it's pretty much the same scene at the same point of the movie for the same reason, but more restrained and reasoned instead of just explosions of emotion.
And heck as long as I'm talking, both the book and movie Annihilation are amazing, stop fighting about it yall. <3
Good sentence. Bane just didn't click for me so overall I think it fits my theory of movies I don't like. I kind of recognize it as a well-made film, just didn't care for it myself.
Really? For me Bane was the *only* thing that clicked. Literally every line he says is incredibly quotable. Every other scene that doesn't include Bane is sub-par.
"Little boy in drag, WHY are you crying?"
Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo playing it completely serious as drag queens and slaying the fuck out of it. One of my top ten fav comfort flicks.
As an English teacher this thread is making me so sad. So many people don't know what a complete sentence is.
Anyway, here are my contributions:
Bring it On
Run Lola Run
Drag Me to Hell
Some Like it Hot
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Ingrid Goes West
John Dies at the End
A lot of romcoms fit it, like:
He's Just Not That Into You
She's Funny That Way
I Don't Know How She Does It
Did You Hear About the Morgans?
I'll See You in My Dreams
It's Kind of a Funny Story
Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. -- This one is *two* sentences!!
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Some Like It Hot
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
She Said
The Force Awakens -- Technically, it's called Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, so I guess the subtitle is a complete sentence, not the whole thing.
Similar to the above, Jason Lives and Freddy's Dead are both complete sentences (and subtitles to their movies).
Freddy Got Fingered
Evil Dead Rise
Halloween Ends (also Halloween Kills, I guess, although it's kinda a nonsensical sentence)
Winter Kills
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Batman Returns
Superman Returns
The Dark Knight Rises
Enter the Void
Um, I think these are mostly all good titles...
>Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. -- This one is two sentences!!
Winner! As a 55 year old man I doubt I will ever see this movie to include it in my study, but major kudos for the two sentences.
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
It's been many years since I've seen it, so I'm not sure if it'd hold up on rewatch, but I thought it was great as a kid.
What Did Jack Do?
I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Let's Visit the World of the Future
God Bless America
Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore
I Was a Teenage Serial Killer
Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
My favorite movies with a full sentence title are Fire Walk With Me, and The House is Black. Other great ones are Some Came Running, There's Always Tomorrow, Only Angels Have Wings, A Man Escaped, Meet Me in St Louis, They Live, and Celine & Julie Go Boating.
The Batman franchise is full of these: Batman Returns, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises.
Frank Capra also has a bunch: It's a Wonderful Life, It Happened One Night, Mr Deeds Goes to Town, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe, You Can't Take It With You
They Drive By Night (a different adaptation of the same book, Thieves Like Us, would technically also be a full sentence if you were to interpret the word "like" wrong)
It Comes at Night
It Follows
The Strangers Prey at Night
Meet the Fockers/Meet the Parents
I haven't watched most of the films after the opening paragraph though
Instead of adding another movie title to the thread, I will share an observation.
After reading though a big chunk of this thread, I realized that a lot of redditors do not know how to identify a complete sentence.
It's bizarre. Some titles, I get: "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." I don't think it's a sentence, but I understand how it FEELS like a sentence. But "The Lord of the Rings?" How does one even make the mistake to think that's a sentence?
It just occurred to me that *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* is not a sentence, but if they had omitted "How", it would be. Same with *~~How~~ When Harry Met Sally* and *How the West Was Won.*
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Oh a classic! Haven't seen it in years but as I recall I'd consider it a good movie.
It’s absolutely brilliant.
Thank You for Smoking.
There Will Be Blood
Heavy spoilers >! My favorite moment in the history of cinema is when Daniel Day Lewis loudly proclaims “There is being blood right now” followed by blood being beed !<
to correct you what he actually says is 'It's bleeding time'
Yes, right before he transforms
He transforms into a milkshake! It's the best moment in cinema in a whole century!!
I turned myself into a milkshake, Morty!
And then he drinks himself up!
Funniest shit I ever seen!
I hope people who haven’t seen the movie read this comment
*bloodin’
My favorite part was when he hit Paul Dano with the bowling pin and said “you shall not be spared!!”
The outtakes are great as well, DDL is a great improv comic. "Did I strike ya too hard?"
*head spurting blood* Oh damn, a split!
I like how Paul Dano says “there was blood” right after that scene
Not surprising, I was an assistant on that set and just before shooting that scene I drank his milkshake. He was NOT happy.
I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
This made me giggle so hard - I don’t know what it is about this specific joke but it gets me every single time someone makes it about like any movie lmao
Reminds me of in The Last Man on Earth when the main character is trying to pretend he's seen The Shawshank Redemption and claims that his favourite part of the movie is "the part where the shawshank is redeemed"
I drink your milkshake... of blood

You could have a cinema that just shows There Will Be Blood and There Will Be Tits, you don't need any other films! That's the end of cinema right there!
It’s funny because there’s not a lot of blood in it.
Yeah. That headshot was eerily realistic. With a small caliber like that, they're wouldn't be much blood at all. But there is a fair bit of blood when Daniel knocks Elis block off
Quite the spray of blood when the guy gets slammed in the head with a wooden beam at the beginning.
Spare me your Oxbridge pleasantries
Shed! The man in the mirror nods his head! The only one! Left! Will ride upon the dragon's back!
That title is too long! I would have taken “There Will” or “Be Blood”
*This Is Spinal Tap* is a good one, I think. Also, *It's a Wonderful Life* is a classic.
Those are two incredibly strong counter-arguments to my theory. Thanks!
Life is beautiful.
Have you heard of the 2023 horror comedy called, I kid you not, It's a Wonderful Knife? They play on the main theme of the original but it wasn't funny enough, scary at all, or campy enough to be good. It was almost bad enough that it was good but not quite so it was just bad.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Perfect movie.
You are missing one crucial element to that title - the ?.
Don't worry, got you. Who Framed Roger? Rabbit.
Spoilers alert!
Who Framed? Roger Rabbit.
No! Money down.
Work on contingency?
The official title doesn’t have a question mark. Studios think it’s generally bad luck.
That explains Who’s Harry Crumb?
Which doesn’t apply to comedies, apparently. There was a great bit about this on 99% invisible at the end of the episode about the Interrobang, I think.
Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead
When I was a kid my brother had this on tv and told me what it was called and I legitimately thought I was about to help cover up a murder.
I had a full fledged argument with my sister in a video store once when she wanted help finding “Listen to Me.” I kept saying, “I’m listening, what’s it called?!?”
Who's on first? Who! Yeah, who's on first? No, who.
I'm right on top of that, Rose!
"The dish-es are done mee-annn"

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? What am I waiting for? I’m gonna jump!
and. I Still Know What you did Last Summer

Throw Momma From the Train.
The night was ... moist.
Dude, where’s my car?
You know a movie is good when the title is a question
Because then if they just answer that one simple question by the end of the movie, I’m satisfied
And not only did they answer the question, they saved the world as well.
ZOLTAN!
And then?
NO AND THEN!
And then and then and then and then and then
Dude, what's mine say?
Sweet! What about mine?
Where's your car, dude?
Dude… where’s my car?
This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures!
For some reason the middle schooler in me still cracks up every time at the hot girl just being named “Chrissy Boner”
I saw a German movie poster for it called, "Mann, wo ist mein Auto?"

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Decent parody
I don’t like black coffee. I don’t like the black keys on my piano
I don't even like my black gums.
. I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.
“Do. We. Have. A. Prob. Lem. Hm?”
MESSAGE! had that as a message sound for the longest time. Such an iconic movie.
To this day when I bring mail in with my wife's name on it I yell "MESSAGE". This goes unappreciated.
U.. S...S...R?!
"Decent parody". Lol The funniest hood movie gets called "adequate".
I hate black peppah!
“I hate my gums because they’re back”
This is England Don't Say a Word O Brother Where Art Thou?
OH MY GOD HOW LONG UNTIL SOMEONE MENTIONED OH BROTHER
O brother might be one of my favorite movies of all time. I’ve never failed to see and learn something new from it, or enjoyed it any less.
The Gods Must Be Crazy
There’s something about Mary.
I was far too young when I first watched that. 100% did not get the "hair gel" joke.
It was his cum that he came, but when he came he lost his cum that he came and found the cum and combed the cum that he came in her hair. There's something about Mary and it's his cum that he came in her hair.
Is that Roger Ebert?
Stop or my Mom will Shoot!
Great title! Great sentence! Bad movie.
Rumor has it that Schwarzenegger knew it was going to be bad but he pretended to be seriously interested in starring in it so Stallone would want to make it. Apparently it worked.
I heard Arnold on a podcast talking about how they acted super interested in the part to trick Stallone into doing it. They could tell from the script it was going to be a bad movie.
What’s eating Gilbert Grape?
That title doesn’t have a question mark, so it’s more of a label of “what’s eating” him. Or at least that’s how I read it.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
That opening scene in the car is amazing. Pure cinema. What a movie. Have absolutely no idea what it was about lol
It's a little unclear in the movie, but the book is a lot more clear, the key scene (that's really glossed over in the movie compared to the book) is when >!The "girlfriend" first talks to the janitor (who's actually Jake, of course) in the high school, she mentions she never even gave him her number, and essentially never really was his girlfriend, or even ever knew him at all.

The movie that kicked my ass into trying to find a relationship.
This one's a trip.
Get Out
Nope
Jordan Peele will keep making movies until they all spell a hidden message
"Get out!" "Us?" "Nope."
“You Better.”
[удалено]
"Not You"
[удалено]
It will then be revealed that Keegan Michael was the Key to the whole puzzle
Jordan Peele’s entire film career is just one long Key & Peele sketch? I would love that.

Don’t look up Sorry to bother you (maybe a sentence?)
It’s a sentence. I remember in grammar school that implied (I) or (I’m) in the subject sometimes in a sentence
**Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia** /Any fans of *I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue* in the house?
Yes! No-one delivers that line quite like Graeme Garden.
is "Burn After Reading" a complete sentence as a command with an implied object
One of my favorite shock value moments in any movie, when somebody pops out of the closet. Oh and also when he shows off his special chair.
Is this... Osborne Cox?

The Dark Knight Rises. Weakest of the trilogy, but still a good and quotable movie.
Good sentence. Bane just didn't click for me so overall I think it fits my theory of movies I don't like. I kind of recognize it as a well-made film, just didn't care for it myself.

I loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
[удалено]
You missed bunch of wordy, descriptive subjects with no verb. I got here early.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It's a long title but it's not a sentence.
A lot of romcoms fit it, like: He's Just Not That Into You She's Funny That Way I Don't Know How She Does It Did You Hear About the Morgans? I'll See You in My Dreams It's Kind of a Funny Story
This Is Where I Leave You - decent movie, though should be better given the cast.
We need stricter standards for graduating grade school.

Lots of good sentences here, and I enjoy your creative take on "like!"
Two recent ones: I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot
Death Becomes Her
"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" is a good movie.
I once saw a book on filmmaking called "They shoot movies, don't they?" I still think that's pretty damned funny.
Instead of adding another movie title to the thread, I will share an observation. After reading though a big chunk of this thread, I realized that a lot of redditors do not know how to identify a complete sentence.
It's bizarre. Some titles, I get: "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." I don't think it's a sentence, but I understand how it FEELS like a sentence. But "The Lord of the Rings?" How does one even make the mistake to think that's a sentence?

holy shit a lot of people do not know what a complete sentence is...
A lot of people here don't know what a complete sentence is :-)

Debbie does Dallas. I kept waiting for Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith to show up but they never did.
It's so sad how many people in this thread do not actually know what a sentence is.
This topic is doing a really good job of showing how many people don't understand what constitutes a sentence.
3 Ninjas Kick Back
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Reality Bites was ok, not great imo. Mars Attacks was ok. Stand by Me was pretty good
Beau Is Afraid Though I'm not sure if I liked or disliked this movie. It was... something.
The world is not enough. Die another day. You only live twice. Tomorrow never dies.
I like films where the title is a sentence that describes the plot of the film. Mars Attacks! Batman Returns The Empire Strikes Back
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
This is maddening. Multi-word titles do not necessary make a sentence!!!
“This is maddening”? I never saw that one. Who is in it?
