Film Titles That Are Complete Sentences
A post in another thread had me wondering how many film titles can be named that are grammatically complete sentences (subject and predicate). For example, They Made Me a Fugitive is a complete sentence. And while it is shorter, They Live is also a complete sentence (again, subject and predicate).
So how many can we name?
RULES: Post one film title at a time. No poster can post two films in a row.
SO:
1. They Made Me a Fugitive
2. They Live

This is not a complete sentence. There is no verb there.Pain on Aug 9 2013, 11:48:43 PM wrote:Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

No, not a complete sentence. It would need to be something like, This is the skin I live in. Instead, it's like a subject with no predicate.Pain on Aug 9 2013, 11:52:10 PM wrote:Oh! Okay, how about The Skin I Live in? If this is wrong too I'll stop bothering you with my poor grammar.
