Pretty funny. Generally I hate movies that quote their own title at some point.

Can you guys think of any they missed?

Independence Day comes to mind.

You don't notice it because the title itself has so much significance to the movie, the movie can't be made without saying the title.....like any movie thats named after a character, place, etc.

Try to re-do Fight Club, Australia, or Titanic without quoting the title....

While many people can name a lot of movies where the title isn't truly signficant to the movie, theres really not that many movies out there where the title of the movie ISN'T significant to the plot of the movie in comparison to those which are.

Very true, I didn't really consider movie titles where it's character's name or places or obvious subjects that will obviously come up in the movie.

The one's that make my eyes roll and are funny to hear quoted in the movie are the ones that are cliches or really obscure references that seem like they are thrown in for no other reason than to say the title of the movie (like many of the ones portrayed in the video)

^^ Yes...one of the movies you speak of did a blatant mockery of cliche quotes of movie titles within the movie...Walk Hard.

Kind of like James Bond movies?
