If movie titles were literally based on the what the movie was about, what would they be called?

Examples...

Man With Subpar Intelligence Has a Lot of Random Luck (Forrest Gump)
Ship crashes into a iceberg and sinks (I'll let you guess that one)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Number one is...Shakespeare's ."Romeo and Juliette" ( staged by both Broadway and Hollywood many times)

And number two is ..nothing less than... "The Greatest Story Ever Told" ! !! ! directed by George Stevens in 1965.

That, and every other film adaptation of the life of Christ (from the silent era to now). Scorcese's "Last Temptation", Mel Gibson's "Passion of..", etc.

The point being that you can take any grand theme and make it sound mundane.

:lol:

The terrible park with ludicrous security that features man-eating creatures.
The one with the talking dinosaur.
The Disney live action [sort of] one with the other talking dinosaurs that I actually like.
Space Battles!
The sequel that mainly has space travel and spends a lot of time on planets instead.

A movie that has barely anything to do with burrowing owls, despite the title.

^Yes! 8)

A fantastic [pun intended] movie with reasonably good animation, brilliant music, and some seriously bizarre scenes.

My one...not exactly taking the plot of the film literally, but taking the title literally :)

A group of transvestites check into the hospital and undergo sex reassignment surgeries together.

1 - The shrink is dead from the beginning.
2 - The bloke is mental and actually slaps himself.
3 - The astronaut never left Earth.
4 - Posh geezer takes control of the press, dies like everybody else.
5 - Boring story about two lesbians who fall in love and eventually part ways. People come for the nudity.
