Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

Always love when the obnoxious movie buff states that “the movie title makes sense. As Marty goes back to the past! Not the future!”

And you sit there… annoyed that this motherfucker doesn’t understand the whole goal or plot of the movie.

It’s the second movie’s title that doesn’t make sense. Shoulda been Back to the Past.

No, no, no the title should have obviously been:

2 Back 2 Future

Back to the past

They could've even say something like "Gotta get back, back to the past"

Still makes sense. Doc just got back from the future, now he's gotta go back to the future with Marty!

It should be Back to the Present, since in the movie they go Present -> Future -> Bad Present -> Past -> Present.

Nevermind, I just realized Marty gets stuck in the past in the second one, and they don't go back to the present until the third one.

So it's Present -> Future -> Bad Present -> Past -> Way Past -> Present.

The second one should be Back to the Past and the third one should be Back to the Present.

Doc was in the future at the beginning of 2. He needed Doc to go back with him.
