movie titles based on [active verb] + [character name]

Drowning Mona?
Lovin’ Molly?
Raising Cain?

Heh, and in that thread someone linked to an even earlier thread on this topic.

Waiting for Godot?

Killing Zoe
Shooting Elizabeth

The movie released as Show Me Love in the United States was Fucking Amal in its native Sweden.

Weeellll, Åmal is a small town, so I don’t think that title means what you think it means.

No, I’m not that strict. I think Chasing Amy is a good example, the trend is more about the aestetic appeal of this way of naming movies rather than the identity of the given name, anyway.

Making Mr. Right

Looking for Mr. Goodbar
Seeing Other People

Maybe this is cheating, but typing “finding” into IMDB brings up:

Finding Buck McHenry
Finding John Christmas
Finding Nemo
Finding Christa
Finding Kate
Finding Kelly
Finding Jack Kerouac
Finding Neo
Finding Electra
Finding Mary Hatch
Finding Jackson Pollock
Finding Joy
Finding Preet
Finding Rin Tin Tin
Finding Amanda
Finding Yourself in LA
Finding Charlie
Finding Eleazar
Finding Mr. Right
Finding Herman
Finding Leo

That’s a lot of lost people!

Stalking Laura (UK title)

And putting “Stalking” into a title search reveals:

The Stalking of Laurie Show (2000) (TV)
Moment of Truth: Stalking Back (1993) (TV)
Sam Shepard: Stalking Himself (1998) (TV)
Stalking Pete Doherty (2005) (TV)
Stalking the President: A History of American Assassins (1992)
Stalking and Shooting Caribou in Newfoundland (1907)
TStalking Santa (2006)
Stalking Seal on the Spring Ice: Part 1 (1967)
Stalking Seal on the Spring Ice: Part 2 (1967)
Stalking the Stalkers (1998)

That’s a lot of stalking, my favoite being “Stalking Santa”

Throw Momma from the Train
