None of the movies in the James Bond series is has the name "James Bond" in the title.

If you're going to allow 'Saving Silverman' and 'About Schmidt' there are dozens of titles like that you might as well include: Saving Grace, Finding Forrester, Saving Private Ryan, Kissing Jessica Stein, Regarding Henry, All About Eve, There's Something About Mary, and dozens of others.

'Indiana Jones' is not a movie.

Also, many of these are named after 'a lead character', but not 'the lead character' of the movie (Roxanne, Dr. No, Goldfinger).

Titanic is the lead character in Titanic? That's a huge stretch you don't need. You might as well include 'Lifeboat' and 'Mutiny on the USS Bounty.' I'd say, remove it.

We're a bit of a stickler, aren't we?

Naw, it's cool, but I don't think everyone has the same attention to details that you do. I mean, I completely see what you're saying, but still.

ok i see your pooint but one thing..Indiana jones is a movies, its a series of movies..

indiana jones and the temple of doom.
(and if what your saying is i spelt it wrong then sorry)

and on the 'you may aswell include all titles' issue. i like 'About Schibt' and 'Saving Silverman' and just wanted to give them a mention as they dont get enough praise.

As for the titanic question, i can only say..what would the movie be without 'Titanic'?
two filthy, snobby rich people fall in love then suddenly drown.

thx for your comments lukeprog, hope ive answered them.
(ps-i added your 'War and peace' on 'runtime' post)
