Note: Yes, Google Image Search allows you to drag and drop images these days. It's awesome. I've purposefully collaged this to make it somewhat harder to do this. You could use Google, and I'll never know. But Baby Jesus will.

What, When, Who, Why

ONE-WORD TITLE MOVIE-FEST STARTS IN:

WHAT IS IT?

Daniel McClelland's annual movie-watching marathon, to celebrate his birthday. 

There'll be at least 8 films screened over a 14 hour period of time.

The list of films will be announced soon, so be sure to check back here for further details.

When the schedule's been announced, you can plan to come to one film, or many!

What Films Will Be Screening?

This year, all the films will have One-Word Titles. 

McClelland believes movies with One-Word Titles are, generally, better at capturing the viewer's imagination than a movie with, say, a Five-Word Title. Compare Deep Blue Sea to Jaws. Which one's the more memorable? Contrast The Fox and the Hound with another critter movie, Bambi. Few people can describe the plot of the former, but everyone knows at least one key scene in the latter. And which Oscar-winning boxing movie is more memorable, Rocky or Million-Dollar Baby? Hell, which B-grade disaster film stayed with you the longest - Deep Impact or Armageddon? Woody Allen films - Manhattan, or Vicki Christina Barcelona? 

So, this year, McClelland is celebrating movies that have One-Word Titles. They're awesome.
