The focus of this thread is to provide as many movies that include a number in their title as possible.

**Guidelines:**

Roman Numerals from sequels don’t count. Thus **Rocky XVII** in not appropriate here.

Cardinal and ordinal numbers are accepted. The \*\* Sixth Sense\*\* is as valid as **101 Dalmatians**.

Regarding one, it is only acceptable when used as a number. In that vein, **She’s the one** doesn’t belong in here.

Numbers that form part of a word aren’t allowed either. **Threesome** and its kind are thus banished from this list.

Foreign and TV movies are accepted.

And yes, using the IMDB is considered cheating.

I will start it off with a few choices:

First kid  
3 for the road. Starring Charlie Sheen, I believe that was its name. Not sure though.  
3 men and a baby  
4 weddings and a funeral  
The sign of 4  
The 5th element  
Snow White and the 7 dwarfs  
Se7en  
The magnificent 7  
9 months  
Ten  
12 monkeys  
THE 13th flloor  
The 13th warrior  
16 candles  
Stalag 17  
20 cigarettes  
Passenger 57  
101 Dalmatains  
451 Fahrenheit. Or something like that, I am not quite sure on this one.  
U-571  
Blues Brothers 2000  
2001: A space Oddisey  
2010: A space Oddisey  
20000 leagues under the sea  
THX-some damn number. I can not recall it at this moment.

I think I will stop know as to not exhaust the possibilities. I don’t want this thread to suffer from the early demise syndrome that afflicts most of the threads I start.

I won’t put too much effort into this. I’ll just lean over in my chair and look through my DVD/VHS collection:

Star Trek: First Contact  
Six Days Seven Nights (double score)  
Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo (does the “Deuce” count?)  
9 1/2 Weeks (unless non-integers don’t count)

Hey, if you’re gonna accept “deuce,” how about “Pi”?

“7 Keys to Baldpate”  
“Catch 22”  
“13 Ghosts” (in 3D!)

Some big movies :

A Million to Juan (Was Paul Rodriguez in the title role?)  
1,000,000 B.C. (the caveman movie with Ringo Starr, maybe it was 2,000,000 B.C.)  
8,000,000 Ways To Die (Charles Bronson, IIRC)

and some rather odd movies :

Air Force 1  
The 3 Stooges … do anything  
The 5 Senses  
The 7th Seal  
The 9th Gate

even more :

10 Little Indians  
12 Angry Men

There was never a part II so this qualifies since it was intended to be as such and I is Roman for the numeral one so…
