Getting the name right


Alpo

Recommended Posts

From time to time there will be a thread - "What are your favorite westerns?" Or "five favorite" or "ten favorite" or even just "top western favorite".

 

And people jump on these threads, to list the movies they like. I just wondered how many make sure they have the name of the movie right.

 

For instance:

 

Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman go to collect a bounty an a man that cut-up a woman.

 

The Unforgiven - Audrey Hepburn is an Indian girl that is raised as white, and raised as Audie Murphy's sister.

 

or

 

Cowboys - John Wayne gets a bunch of kids to help him drive his cattle to market.

 

Cowboy - Hotel clerk Jack Lemmon goes into partnership with Glenn Ford on a cattle drive.

 

or

 

The Professionals - Lee Marvin and friends go into Mexico to rescue a kidnapped woman.

 

The Professional - Natalie Portman, as a little girl, lives next door to a hit-man, and some corrupt DEA agents murder her family.

 

 

 

Just a word or a letter missing or added, and you are talking about a totally different movie.

Sometimes a movie may have a couple of titles - The Black Shield of Falworth is the same movie as The Red Griffin of Falworth. And it isn't at all unusual for people to forget the "The" in a title, since often in searches you will find something listed as "Black Shield of Falworth, The" to avoid having 870,000 movies listed under "The."
