> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by scratch1300 \* > \*\ ***obfusciatrist** , are you certain that _Things in Denver_ and _How the Grinch_ are true sentences? What are their subjects? \*\* Well, I am not going to diagram sentences, but it seems to me that the subject in _Things to Do in Denver When You are Dead_ is “You”. And the “the Grinch” seems like the subject in the other one. But perhaps they are not technically. If _How the Grinch Stole Chrismas_ does not qualify then I would think that _How Green was My Valley_ would not, either. I am going to protest the inclusion of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” as there is no verb in the title, “raiders” is a noun. Additions: _Debbie Does Dallas_ _Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore_ _Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?_ _All Dogs Go to Heaven_ I guess _Call Northside 777_ doesn’t count as the subject is implied (as it is in many movies). ---

Ok, I withdraw _Grinch_ because I just remembered that the title of the movie is actually _Dr. Suess’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas_. ---

Does “Get Shorty” count? The subject is implied. And I submit: “The Hills Have Eyes” ---

“The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies” (Yes it’s a real film…check it out on the IMDB) Correct please if wrong, but I believe the following applies: Subject: “creatures” Verb: “stopped” or “living” or “became” Object: “zombies” ---

obfusciatrist, you screwed up a bit. Many you put under “questionable” because they have an implied verb (you), but you left a lot of implied verbs under “accepted”. For instance: _Bang The Drum Slowly, Catch Me A Spy, Don’t Be A Menace…,_ and _Don’t Tell Mom…_ Also, _How Bridget Served Salad Undressed_ and _Singing In The Rain_ are under “accepted” yet they aren’t full sentences any way you look at 'em. ---
