I’ve got bored with this. Anyway, stick a man’s name into the imdb search and it’s likely to pop out a film. Job done.

@Crossroadsgrl – Now you’ve given me a reason to keep living, er, I mean keep guessing film titles. To be clear, are we looking for a 1 word or 2 word movie title? If 2 words, is the other word part of the name or not? I not sure how, say, Happy Gilmore would fit into your naming scheme, for example.

Back later with some more…

@Crossroadsgrl I think we’re all done guessing, why don’t you just tell us?

How do we know God is a male? God could be a female name.

Troy is the name of an ancient city.
The real name is Troia.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@ragingloli I understand it’s the name of a city. The question doesn’t add any distictions other than “male first name only”. It is a male’s first name. TY!

Crossroadsgrl's avatar

Ahh but the lover got it

@noelleptc – Yes it was. And it was rather entertaining. Troy! I get it. What game can we play now?

Crossroadsgrl's avatar

It turned into a game. I was thinking Troy would be listed immediately. ;)

markferg's avatar

How about films with planets, stars, moons or other astronomical bodies in their titles? I’d ask it myself but I’ve used up today’s quota. If no one else picks it up I’ll post it tomorrow!

SpatzieLover's avatar

I never “win” anything..Hooray!

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@Crossroadsgrl I think most of us assumed the title had to be referring to a male name, not just a title that could also be a man’s name. Because otherwise, we enter in things like celebs naming their kids “Apple” and that’s just not right.
