What should I title my Feature Film?

Hey all,
I'm currently directing a ~90 min. movie, and I'm stuck without a name. The movie is more or less a spoof of Tom Clancy's Novels such as Patriot Games, and Rainbow Six. It is very funny, but still has the super serious badass protagonist. While fighting off laughter during a shoot, one of the production assistants said, "There is nothing modest about this movie."

Our working title was "A Time to Kill," but I was unaware that there is already a movie/book with the same title. Help me out. I want it to sound brutally violent/badass, but to the point that it's just ridiculous.


++Karma, credit, and a free DVD to anyone who can think of the choice title.

Haha I like Kill them once Kill them all.

I'll run these ideas by the producer and see if anything sticks. If anyone else has ideas i'd like to hear them.

This movie is below WGA standards for a "Low Budget Film", so we have no idea what the future is for it. We're hoping to get into some mid-sized festivals. At a minimum, it will definitely have some screenings in Seattle and San Jose area.

We're aiming to be finished by March 09, but editing with FX, Chroma Keying, Color correcting, and so forth can take forever. Not to mention sound editing which can take nearly as long as editing the picture.
I'll keep you posted.

I thought that was hilarious

this thread makes me miss film school.

titles have never been a problem for my screenplays. sometimes it's good to grab a title straight out of the dialogue. a witty one-liner. who knows.

i like titles that dont give away too much about the film's themes.
