This is my first entry into a film blogathon. Brittani over at Rambling Film is hosting her first ever and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make this my debut participation. The idea is brilliant yet simple: choose your favourite movie titles from A-Z. She also specified that it isn't necessary to like the film you have chosen. I thoroughly enjoyed putting this post together: I was reminded of some golden oldies, struggled to choose between some (so many good ones for letter "G" and "D") and realised that there are less than 20 films made that start with the letter "X", most of which are taken by X-Men. In identifying which film titles I deemed to be the best, I looked not only at originality and concise articulation, but humour, irony and at times, simple appropriateness. A perfect film title not only provides eloquent summation but can push intrigue across to a potential audience.

Blogathon: Favourite Movie Titles

Thank you for participating! You've got some great ones here. I love that you included Moonrise Kingdom, Into the White, and Daydream Nation. Those are awesome titles!
ReplyDeleteNo worries at all. I had such a fun time putting them together. Thanks Brittani! I really thought so too.
DeleteOh the purple rose of cairo. I love that film. Great choices, nice presentation!
ReplyDeleteEasily one of my favourite Woody Allen films! Thank you msmaria. So glad that you like my choices.
DeleteOh I adore that you have 'Love Actually' here. It's such a nice title and it fits the movie so well. I don't know what Daydream Nation is but it's a great title
ReplyDeleteThank you Sati. Yes 'Love Actually' was such an iconic and sweet name I just had to put it in. Daydream Nation is a flawed yet incredibly compelling film. It also features a pretty great performance by Kat Dennings. I implore you to give a shot if you have time.
DeleteGreat read thaanks
