A great title, even a movie you’ve never seen… Even if its a bad movie. I’m sure I’ll find a better example, but I like the title, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, even if I didn’t like the movie. ---

A lot of movies take their titles from the play or book from which they were adapted, and this is one: _Children of a Lesser God_. The title is based on a stanza from Tennyson’s _Idylls of the King_. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > (most annoying) Hi Mom! I’ve always thought the same about that title. But 20 years later (2 months ago), I finally watched it. 6/10 - a few funny parts, but there were a lot of similar movies around that time, mostly De Palma. De Niro was pretty funny, though. ---
