Do the Right Thing & Breakfast Club both work well in that context. And Blue Velvet's gotta get some kind of pass because it's sung.

Also because it's insane.

Synthian–The title of CHARIOTS OF FIRE comes from the hymn “Jerusalem,” which is extrememly well-known in England (and which is the first thing we hear in the film). The filmmakers did not explain it because they took for granted that everyone watching already knew it. Obviously, they were not expecting the film to be the international success that it was.

almost all the actors knew. no fun. seriously never given this phenomena one single thought. Basic instingt-scene could be shot over, but i guess we dont notice when its not an isolated frame. kill me with a dagger, between my legs and beyond. p.s Anyone knows the title of that movie mentioning august a billion times? august, august, august.... many times. that movie was pretty cool

During the NEVER ENDING STORY…the audiences were quoting the title long before they mentioned it in the movie.

Do we need a rule?

If you force it, the audience will notice.

If the title is just a clear statement of an element of the movie, meh.

@Johnny – he couldn’t have said, “You sure die hard, cowboy.” The movie was originally called NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, after the book it’s based on.

Some of these lines are actually cool movie moments that perform their intended dramatic function- "always do the right thing" in context, is hardly ham-fisted, and I love the way "The Breakfast Club" ties up the movie (it might not have worked if they had ACTUALLY HAD breakfast together).

This just makes the case for how cool it is when it works, and how awful it is when it doesn't, not that it shouldn't be done.

I always found the "Saving Private Ryan" line EXTREMELY cringe-worthy.
