29 of the Best Times a Character Said the Title of the Movie
‘It must be some sort of… hot tub time machine’
Thinking of a title for a story can be just as hard as writing the rest of it. You want it to relate to the action in the story, but you don’t want it to be too literal. Think of it as the Edge of Tomorrow-Hobo With a Shotgun continuum.
Oftentimes, it can be easier to just pluck the title out of a character’s mouth, especially knowing how fun it is for the audience to hear it. Admit it: You get a little thrill when a character says the movie’s title.
That’s why user SniffingLines asked r/AskReddit, “What is your favorite instance of the title of the movie being said during the movie?”
