If you've seen the movie, this is obviously the meaning they were referencing. Of course, the other meanings mentioned are applicable.

In Bruges is a pretty great title if you've seen the movie. It applies on many, many levels. One of the best simple, one-word titles of all time is Alien.

The Perfect Storm and There Will Be Blood do this for me. As do: Atonement Little Miss Sunshine Crash Moulin Rouge! (an exclamation mark is very effective) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon The Sixth Sense Drop Dead Gorgeous V for Vendetta Kill Bill Notes on a Scandal I think a good movie title not only encapsulates the movie itself, but also is intriguing enough to make you want to see it, even if you know nothing about it.

Now., Eyes Wide Shut, The Age of Innocence (considering the time depicted was anything but innocent: cruel, hollow etc.), The Man who Wasn't There, Gone with the Wind, To Have and Have Not (I'm not even sure what it means, but it sure sounds good), The Towering Inferno (not a great movie, though) and finally, the title that perhaps captures the tone of the film itself in a way that can't be topped: Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Larned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

You are so wrong: These movie titles rules: How High GO O Brother, Where Art Thou Kicking & Screaming Other people are remembered, before me, some of the best titles in past 10 years. But you are so wrong. 2046, shaun of dead, national treasure, bad company, Shanghai Noon, The Perfect Storm, Amores Perros, All About My Mother. Adaptation is only title in the list besides there will be blood which attracted me to watch. I agree with title There will be blood, but the rest sucks. You are so wrong:
