You could argue any biopic named after it's subject could fit that description.

Hmm stumped on that one. The closest I can get is Necessary Roughness but it seems a bit too stretched to be a synonym title.

Kugai · « **Reply #157 on:** 18 Sep 2015, 12:34 »

That was NOT a Movie Synonym.

Still waiting to know if I'm right.

Negative on that guess, Skewbrow.

I dunno, but Skewbrow's is Ordinary People. Not gonna do one because yours is still in play.

jwhouk · « **Reply #167 on:** 21 Sep 2015, 14:17 »

Second hint: the previous quote is a synonym for one of the movie's memorable quotes. It's about three brothers and their proclivity for foil.

Oh dear. Jwhouk was putting the ball on the tee for me, and I still choked.

Given the context, wouldn't it be "puck on the ice"?

The Last Wedding (2001)?

For my last offering, I had in mind Man On Fire (2004), but Burning Man is just as good.

Actually both are fine. In the xkcd comic the title of Star Trek: The Search for Spock is Space Trip: Where is the Vulcan?. So feel free to be a bit more abstract with the titles, it adds to the fun.
