With W out now, I can think of M, the old Fritz Lang picture, and Z, the Greek political thriller, and a few years ago didn’t they make a modern Othello entitled O? What other letters have formed the complete titles of films?
I know they haven’t filmed Thomas Pynchon’s V., but that would be a beauty.
I thought I remembered an old horror movie called Q . Not only did it exist, but according to IMDB, there are five movies with the title Q .

If you mean films with a single letter or films with more than one letter (like titles that are acronyms), I can think of one of the latter:
MIB
That listing misses the American TV miniseries V , about invading aliens.
If you add numbers, there is at least a movie for every number, but most of them are short or indy films. Nevertheless, there’s
The One – martial arts film
Five Arch Oboler’s end-of-the-world flick
Seven – the psycho-killer film
8 1/2 – Fellini
10 – the Bo Derek film.
We’ve also got pi and $ .

“O” was nice and artistic and stuff, but I sorta preferred “The Story of O”.
Not a single letter title, but back in the fifties there was a film called “DOA”, meaning “dead on arrival”.
It’s stretching the rules a bit, but there is the excellent I… comme Icare . (“I as in Icarus”)
Vin Diesel was in XXX
X2
F/X and it’s sequel F/X-2
I believe that the official title of Spike Lee’s **Malcolm X **was simply X .
Not to forget THE ALPHABET MURDERS The Alphabet Murders (1965) - IMDb

Oddly enough, this is listed in the IMDb under the UK title of Zee and Co. . You’d think in the UK it’s be Zed and Co. .
