TITLES
When selling a spec, titles may be more
important than you realize.
Many buyers like a good title - because
they'll have to pitch it to their boss.
Some of the titles mentioned above -
like ...LESSER GOD and ...MARIGOLDS
come from plays. The others are from
movies made a long time ago, or from
scripts that were not sold on spec.

Jmat - Write your story. Somewhere in there you'll find
your title. It could be a phrase a character says "...is this As
Good As It Gets..." or maybe your title will describe the
setting, "Casa Blanca" or maybe it will describe the action,
"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. (heh)"
Somewhere, the title is right there in front of you. Doesn't
matter how many words, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
or how few words, "Shrek" - the title will fit the story.

Presumably this is why movies like THE MATRIX, JAWS, SEVEN, BABE, THE RING, SAW and RESERVOIR DOGS were all such huge flops.
think u made my point - each title directly describes what the movie is about - say JAWS had been called... TRIO OF SAVIORS... or DARK WATER MYSTERY...
what the heck...
a movie about a shark called "JAWS"... a movie about a deadly well (circle) called "THE RING"... a movie about a baby pig named Babe called "BABE"...
