There’s a famous Family Guy cutaway in which Peter remembers all the times he’s been really excited to hear a movie character say the title of a movie in the movie itself. The “title drop” trope can be seen in everything from The Breakfast Club to Back to the Future to The Dark Knight to Hot Tub Time Machine.

From John Hammond welcoming his guests to the titular dinosaur sanctuary in Jurassic Park to Silent Bob explaining the meaning of the phrase Chasing Amy, saying the title of a movie in the movie can often create a profound moment.

Sincerely Yours, The Breakfast Club

John Hughes’ classic teen comedy The Breakfast Club posits that if all the traditional high school archetypes – the jock, the nerd, the prom queen, the kid from the wrong side of the tracks – just got to know each other, they’d realize they’re not so different. The movie’s self-contained Saturday detention storyline forces them to do just that.

In the film’s final moments, set to Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” Brian narrates the essay that the group wrote for Mr. Vernon, denigrating him for judging them based on stereotypes. The essay ends, “Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.”

You Said It Yourself, B****, We’re The Guardians Of The Galaxy

In the final battle of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill engages the villainous Ronan the Accuser in a dance-off to stall him while the other Guardians get the Power Stone out of Ronan’s staff.

Ronan is dumbfounded by Quill and his friends’ ability to withstand the cosmic might of the Power Stone. When he wonders how they’re doing it, Quill simply tells him, “You said it yourself, b***h, we’re the Guardians of the Galaxy!”

They Tell Me You’re A Man With True Grit

Mattie Ross meets Rooster Cogburn in True Grit

After the first adaptation of True Grit focused on Rooster Cogburn to position it as a John Wayne starring vehicle, the Coen brothers’ version refocused the story on its original protagonist, Mattie Ross.

Played by an Oscar-nominated Hailee Steinfeld, Mattie recruits Cogburn to find her father’s killer, and describes him as “a man with true grit,” explaining the meaning of the title.

It Must Be Some Kind Of... Hot Tub Time Machine

Part of the charm of Hot Tub Time Machine is its sly self-awareness. It knows it has a ludicrous high-concept premise and it leans into that ludicrousness at every opportunity. After the guys get to the ski lodge and spend a whole night in the hot tub, they realize they’ve traveled back in time to the 1980s.

Craig Robinson says, “It must be some kind of... hot tub time machine,” then gives a hilarious deadpan look to the camera to acknowledge the title drop.

He’s A Silent Guardian, A Watchful Protector... A Dark Knight

Batman rides away at the end of The Dark Knight

As the titular masked vigilante flees from the law at the end of The Dark Knight, Commissioner Gordon tells his son, “We’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a dark knight.”

This title drop is a little on-the-nose, but it works because of how powerful the ending is. Batman makes a sacrifice that only he can make. He takes the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes so that Gotham can hold onto its “white knight.”

They Drew First Blood, Not Me

John Rambo hiding in a cave in First Blood

In all the sequels to First Blood, John Rambo was recharacterized as a merciless killing machine who mows down legions of soldiers with a machine gun without giving it a second thought. But in the original movie, he didn’t want to hurt anyone.

He takes some corrupt small-town cops on a wild goose chase through the woods. When one of them dies after trying to get a deadlier vantage point in a helicopter, Rambo insists, “They drew first blood, not me!”

I’ve Spent Every Day Since Then Chasing Amy, So To Speak

The main love interest in Kevin Smith’s unconventional romantic comedy Chasing Amy is called Alyssa. The meaning of the title isn’t revealed until Jay and Silent Bob make an appearance toward the end of the film. Silent Bob famously only speaks when he has something profound to say.

When Holden tells Jay and Bob about the insecurity he feels in his relationship with the much more sexually experienced Alyssa, Bob tells him he’s “chasing Amy.” He was in a similar relationship with a woman named Amy: “She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away. So, I’ve spent every day since then chasing Amy, so to speak.”

Welcome To Jurassic Park

John Hammond welcomes his guests to Jurassic Park

Steven Spielberg broke the record for the highest-grossing movie ever made for the third time in his career with his acclaimed sci-fi thriller Jurassic Park. On top of its groundbreaking visual effects, Jurassic Park has a great story to tell with the same thought-provoking theme of the dangers of playing God seen in Frankenstein.

When megalomaniacal John Hammond’s helicopter arrives at the eponymous dinosaur sanctuary, he tells his invited guests, “Welcome to Jurassic Park!”

Forget It, Jake, It’s Chinatown

Jake is taken away at the end of Chinatown

The neo-noir classic Chinatown famously has nothing to do with Chinatown except for its cryptic final line delivered by Lawrence Walsh. Private eye Jake Gittes is horrified by the truth behind Noah Cross and wants nothing more than to bring him to justice.

In true 1970s fashion, the ending of Chinatown refuses to provide the audience with closure and instead leaves them feeling cold and empty inside. Cross gets away with it, Gittes is left powerless, and Walsh simply says, “Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown.”

Next Saturday Night, We’re Sending You Back... To The Future!

Doc Brown points at the camera in Back to the Future

The title of Robert Zemeckis’ seminal time-travel comedy Back to the Future is often called erroneous, because Doc Brown doesn’t send Marty McFly to the future; he sends him to the present. But 1985 is only the present from Marty’s point of view. The Doc Brown of 1955 perceives 1985 as the distant future.

Doc refers to Marty as “future boy,” and when they concoct a plan based on the lightning that’s destined to strike the clock tower, he says, “Next Saturday night, we’re sending you back... to the future!”
