Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

based on my completely sporadic and biased analysis,
i have identified a few key factors that will make a movie's title sound cool.

1. titles that have a sense of finality in them always sound cool.
e.g. the LAST samurai, a FAREWELL to arms, to END all wars...etc

2. one word titles usually sound cool
e.g. shrek, rocky, rambo, unforgiven...etc

3. titles with cheem three-syllable words that also sound cool in chinese usually sound cool.
e.g. di-ver-gence, e-lect-ion, pro-te-ge, in-fer-nal affairs....etc

4. titles with a sense of eternity in them always sound cool.
e.g. road to PERDITION, EVERLASTING regret, finding NEVERland...etc

5. titles that talk about something sad usually sound cool
e.g. confession of pain, tears of the sun...etc

6. titles that sound like they are(or actually are) taken right out of a poem always sound cool
e.g. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, spring, summer, fall, winter...and spring, memories of a nobody...etc

7. titles that have an idea of dancing in them makes the movie sound stylish
e.g. one last dance, endless waltz, dances with wolves...etc

8. titles that have a regal air about it makes the movie sound epic.
e.g. empire of the sun, the return of the king, the last king of scotland...etc

9. titles of mob flicks ALWAYS sound cool
e.g. the untouchables, the godfather, the departed...etc

10. titles with the word 'day' in it usually sound cool
e.g. the remains of the day, 28 days later, the day after tomorrow...etc

so there. things that make a movie sound cool...to me.
