Top 7 Movie Titles of 2007

I love a great title. For me, it can make or break a movie. A title should provoke a response, be it visceral or intellectual. An effective title encapsulates the movie’s plot and themes. It tells the audience exactly what they’re in for. Here are a few titles that really work:
Die Hard – Reaches out and punches you in the face.
Sex, Lies, and Videotape – Summarizes precisely what you’re about to see.
The Godfather – Safe to say it isn’t about a school teacher.
Here are my top Titles of 2007.
7) Sicko – Perfect for Michael Moore’s condemnation of America’s health care system.
6) Grindhouse – You know what you’re getting here and it ain’t no G rated Disney flick.
5) Zodiac – Say is out loud. It just sounds eerie.
4) The Savages – Not just a family name, also a state of mind.
3) Hot Fuzz – The boys who brought you Shaun of the Dead pick another winner.
2) The King of Kong - Documentary about ‘Donkey Kong’ record holder. Clever.
1) There Will Be Blood – Blood equals oil. Blood equals blood. Both will be shed.
Did I miss any? Let me know.
Scott,
Long time viewer, first time responder. After working a full day in the coal mine I came home late one evening, grabbed a 40 ouncer of Old English, and turned on the tube. Much to my chagrin one of my all time favorites was on TNT; “Big Trouble in Little China.” I was wondering where Jack Burton and the Pork Chop Express might rank on your list. Awesome website, keep up the great work!

Big Trouble in Little China is on the list.
Jack: “What is that, oil or something?”
Egg: “No, it’s BLOOD OF EARTH.”
A classic!
