I love Notting Hill, but it sure seems like it could use a different title.
Do you have a movie you'd rename?

What a good question. I have two candidates, @qualitygal.
"The Big Sleep"-- I've never been able to successfully unwind the plot of this iconic but confusing Bogart and Bacall movie, so am not sure if the title is relevant to the plot. But I don't think it does it any favors.
"The Third Man"-- In this case, the title directly relates to something in the plot. But this brilliant, haunting, Joseph Cotten- Orson Welles movie deserves a title with so much more "oomph", I believe!

@Oznell I found this:
The title is a euphemism for death; it refers to a rumination about "sleeping the big sleep" in the final pages of the book. I wish I'd read the book.
Just thought I'd throw that in. Raymond Chandler had the answer but we can't ask him now.

Great question so I’ll have to think long and hard about an answer.

Wow, thanks @Judaline -- that makes sense!

Well not a movie but there is a show on Hallmark I think titled When Calls The Heart. I do not understand this title at all.
