GoldenEye Opening Title Sequence

March 82010

Daniel Kleinman creates one of the most nuanced layered sequences in the series for the action adventure thriller GoldenEye (1995), starring Pierce Brosnan in his first outing as James Bond. With the franchise returning after a seven year hiatus and many questioning 007’s purpose, the film addresses the issue head on by reflecting the new geopolitical structure of a post Cold War world, with the focus being on broken and fractured Communist Russian imagery and the dangers therein. This inevitably caused controversy at the time of the film’s Russian release. The song, a favourite among Bond fans, is performed by Tina Turner and was written by Bono and The Edge, though sadly it does not feature throughout the film’s score. No copyright infringement intended. To be removed at the behest of the distributor.

What is the back-lit sign called, that tells people what films are showing outside (usually old) cinemas?

March 72010

These big lit hoardings are usually seen in america… but i’m pretty sure they exist/existed over here too… the signs i mean are the ones where you have to manually make the words of the film title from individual letters. Any ideas what they are called?

a word in navajo language as a film title?

March 52010

I need some help with finding a film, which has a one-word title in navajo language – I don’t know what is it. The film is about one and a half hours long and it’s about nature and society.
Thanks for helping!

Can anybody think of titles of films that are complete sentences and what is this called?

March 32010

I’m posting this question again just in hopes someone might come up with some other ideas….. the last answers were great….(For Doc G: I think that only "Hiding Out" is the actual name of the movie– John Cryer is Hiding Out was more like a tagline than the actual title….. but that’s a good one and it sounds like it could be a pretty funny movie)
It seems like during the 70’s there were many films, plays that were statements or sentences. They were quite long and seem to be for humorous effect. I can think of a few —
Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?
Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feeling So Sad
Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York
Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar
The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain
and I also found: If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium
Can anyone think of any others? What is the style of naming films like this?

There is a series of films that begin with "Carry on":
Carry on at Your Convenience
NOTE: I can list some more of them, but they’re not as much fun as finding other sentences. You list one of my favorites: "If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium", a film I saw three times in the theater long ago. During the Sixties and Seventies, they were especially fond of complete sentences for movie titles. However, filmmakers seem to have done this far into the past and will continue to do so. Think how often song titles are used, too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This isn’t a complete sentence:
The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain
You’d have to delete "Who".

This isn’t one either:
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
You’d have to delete "Dr. Strangelove or:" and "How".

Working Title Films (media studies)?

March 12010

Can anyone give me a definition please

Of what, the company or of a "working title"?

A working title is the unofficial name of a production. This could be because a title has not been finalized or, in the case of some high-profile productions, help disseminate fan interest and prevent vendors from fleecing them on things like hotel or transportation accomodations.

Working Title Films is a well-known British film production company that has been in business for about 25 years. Details and a list of their films can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Title_Films

Are there any huge differences between the main title themes of the 3 Spider-Man films?

February 252010

I’m trying to download the title theme to the first one and can only find the title themes to the second and third films…are there any real huge differences between films, or can I just download one or the other?

There is a difference in the main title themes of the Spider-Man films, because each of them are reminiscing as to what happened in the film prior to the other Spidey movies.

Has a film ever inspired an epiphany in you? What is the title of that film?

February 232010

Several titles, films that have inspired me.
Osama
Waco; The Rules of Engagement
I Have Never Forgotten You(Story of Simon Weisenthal)
Crash is awesome…

There was one movie that sorta inspired me, but more so just left me in complete and utter shock/awe/surprise/inspired/depressed all at the same time.

The movie is about a bunch of different strangers and how each of their lives and actions can directly effect another. It’s an awesome movie – go rent it – you wont be dissapointed.

Title: Crash
