A line of dialogue in a film, television series, book or other media
A title drop, also known as a titular line, is a line in a film, television series, book, or other media, that contains the title of the work. Though present in other forms of media, the term title drop typically refers to movies.Sometimes, the title drop occurs at a movie's end. For example, in the popular movies, Iron Man and The Breakfast Club, the final lines heard in the films are “I am Iron Man” and “Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club” respectively. Other times it happens sometime within the movie. In the case of films that have a titular character such as Batman or Superman, it is likely the title will be mentioned casually several times in the dialogue, thus making these moments somewhat less significant. Title drops are not to be confused with title sequences, however, in which the title is shown through on-screen text, rather than being said directly. For instance, the Star Wars opening crawl would not be considered a title drop, but rather a title sequence. Title drops have been around almost as long as movies themselves with some examples leading back to 1911. Since then, the use of the title drop has, overall, trended upward.[1] The reception of title drops is greatly varied, with some considered iconic, others cringe, and others altogether out-of-place.[1] In studying title drops, it is important to consider the various types, the notable uses in film, as well as appearances in other media.
