Films with Years in the Title

With 1917 hitting UK cinemas this week, I thought it might be interesting to look at other films which have years in their titles... 10,000BC Disaster movie director Roland Emmerich made this 2008 film about a prehistoric tribe of mammoth hunters. Most people thought it looked decent enough but style was no substitute for substance and the large number of historical inaccuracies didn't help critics enjoyment of the film. It's widely regarded as Emmerich's worst film and by many as the worst film of the year. Despite this, it did reasonably well at the box office. Year One Another pre-historic disaster by a respected director, this time Harold Ramis. It stars Jack Black and Michael Cera as cavemen and is supposed to be a comedy. I struggle to get past the title- surely "Year One" means the first year after Jesus' birth and therefore some time post-cavemen? 1776 This 1972 musical based on the Broadway show of the same name is a...

Alternate Bond Themes

The songs are a key part of the films and in many cases more than one artists was asked to pitched a title song. Many of those not selected have not been revealed to the wider world but there are a handful of alternate Bond themes out there that were rejected but released elsewhere. Thunderball The original title song for Thunderball was "Mr. Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" taken from an Italian journalist who used the phrase to describe James Bond.

There's not a lot wrong with the song but producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman felt the theme really needed to have the film's title in the lyrics. In the end it was Tom Jones who gave us "Thunderball...

Pixar Teases for Future Films

Disney Pixar's latest film Onward will be released in the UK this week. Pixar's films are full of Easter eggs. You probably know that most of their films feature a Pizza Planet truck and there are endless uses of the Luxo ball and "A113" which refers to a classroom number where many of the Pixar people started their careers. Pixar films are also well known for inserting references to future films and we've collected together these teases. Monsters Inc. - Clownfish from Finding Nemo make several cameos in this film, most obviously when Sully gives Boo a clownfish toy but one can also be seen on the wallpaper of the sushi restaurant. Finding Nemo - In the dentist's waiting room a young patient is reading a Mr. Incredible comic book. There's also a nod to Cars - when the fish are escaping in their bags you can see Luigi zooming past. Ratatouille - When a dog barks at Remy we can clearly see from it's shadow that it's Doug from ...
