Sometimes it seems like movie producers and writers get lazy and rather than come up with a good, unique name for their film, they simply use the name of one of the main characters. For example...
Billy Madison
How many more can you name?

So many titles, but off the top of my head

All the superhero movies - Spiderman, Batman etc
I guess I should have been more specific. I was looking for first and last names in the title. One word names could have been a whole seperate game, as well as titles with two names seperated by the word 'and' (Sid & Nancy, Kurt & Courtney, Howard & Melvin, etc.).
Here's a few more...
Billy Bathgate
Billy Elliot
Johnny Dangerously
Johnny Mnemonic (Keanu Reeves) :D
cheech and chong
bill and ted
tv shows
will and grace
dharma and greg
Flash Gordon
Robin Hood
Forgot one of the famous ones :

John Q.
Van Wilder
Austin Powers
Nice one! How could I forget that - my kids watch it all the time. :DQuote:

@ quiksilver_aus - Austin Powers is another good one that I never thought of.
I'm actually surprised at how many we've come up with. When I started this topic I only had about 3 or 4 in mind.
Good job to all!
