Titles and More Titles

We've been pouring over all sorts of possibilities for the new title of our film (formerly known as Liars and Lunatics). And we came up with some great sounding titles, too!

1. Gone with the Wind
That works well with the death of Paige. Thematically speaking. And then there's the time when we were almost gone-with-the-wind on the day we shot the picnic scenes... (One problem. Checking out IMDB.com, we find that someone has already made a movie with this title. Too bad!)

2. Star Wars: A New Hope
We thought this one could be cleverly tied into the fact that we're the Moon Brothers. Get it? Stars, moon? And the **new hope** thing would give people the idea that this isn't one of those depressing flicks. (One problem. The title apparently has been taken by a non-Moon-Brother named George Lucas.)

3. It's a Wonderful Life
That's a hopeful title, too, don't you agree? (One problem. The title's been used already for some black and white flick with some guy in it named Jimmy Stewart.)

4. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
This title had an interesting flow to it. Even if we don't have a single cuckoo's nest in our story. Maybe we could change it to a parrot's nest? We had plenty of those! (One problem. People might confuse our movie with another one that also takes place in a mental institute.)

5. Dark Victory
Sounds victorious. Even if a little dark. (One problem. Seems like it's already an old movie with some actress named Bette Davis who goes blind.)

6. E.T.
This could stand for Extreme Tragedy. To show James' dilemma and anguish in our movie. (One problem. Looks like we've been beat to this title by some alien that some people think is rather cute.)

7. They Shoot Horses Don't They
This would play up on the tragedy theme as well. We know there are no horses in the movie. But it might work as symbolism, folks! (One problem. Yep, you guessed it. This title, as well, has been taken... by a story about dance marathons.)

8. A Hard Day's Night
James has plenty of those! (One problem. It's already a movie that features four wacky Brits running all over the place.)

9. Braveheart
Forget tragedy. Let's focus on inspiration and this sounds inspiring, doesn't it? (One problem. Apparently there's a guy named Mel Gibson who's got a movie with this title... about some Scottish guy.)

10. Saturday Night Fever
We thought this might reflect some intensity. We're not sure if our movie actually takes place on a Saturday night, but why not? Again, the whole night-thing brings in a connection with the moon. (One problem. It looks like this title has also been used. There's a young actress named Karen Lynn Gorney in it. Hmm? Maybe we should try to get her in our movie?)

For now, it looks like we'll be going with the-movie-formerly-known-as-Liars-and-Lunatics...
