I know… this is a little ridiculous. But as you know, this is what I do. But before we get to the list, here are some rules I went by that excluded many titles:

  • I would normally not discriminate between titles with “the,” “a,” or “an” in the title. But just for this list, I decided to only include movies that are strictly one word titles. Therefore, sadly, and aren’t invited to the party.

  • If a movie has a one-word title, but is followed by a colon and more words, it doesn’t count. So no And even though  would fit the list, it is often listed along with it’s very long subtitle, so I just left those movies out as well.

  • I also didn’t include movies with dashes in them. Sorry . Maybe next time.

  • And I didn’t include movies that are numbers or abbreviations. So and  are disqualified.
