About drama movie names
Drama titles tend to be quiet and specific. Where a thriller title promises an event, a drama title usually names a person, a place, a stretch of time or one concrete object, and trusts the audience to feel the weight behind it. A title like A Seat by the Kitchen Door or Half Days in February tells you nothing about the plot and a good deal about the tone.
The 1,000 titles here come in sixteen styles that are mixed together in the list: literary The X of Y phrases, houses and towns, a character's name or job, family and inheritance, illness, grief and recovery, working-class and small-town stories, period and wartime pieces, sports and biopic-style titles with invented subjects, courtroom and political dramas, one-word abstractions, coming-of-age stories, seasons and dates, spoken-sentence titles, household objects, long marriages and old friendships, and faith, migration and social drama.
The list was screened for duplicates. It has not been compared with any film database, so search a title before you put it on a script. These are titles for feature films and shorts; series titles are on the TV show page.
How to choose drama movie names
- Name the smallest true thing in your story, such as an object, a room or a day, instead of its theme. The Blue Thermos says more than a title like Loss ever could.
- Match the form to the kind of drama: a name or a job for a character study (Miss Okafor Retires), a place for an ensemble piece (Lower Fenwick), a legal phrase for a courtroom film (Motion to Reconsider).
- Say it in the sentence "We went to see ..." and picture it on a poster. Long sentence titles work best when they sound like something a character would actually say.
- Swap in your own town, surname or year. The people in these titles are made up, and the places are a mix of invented towns and real ones such as Dayton or Duluth. Replacing them with details from your script costs nothing and makes the title yours.
- Search the title together with the word film before you use it. Short phrases are often already taken, and this list has not been compared with released movies.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good drama movie title?
A good drama title is plain, concrete and a little withheld. It points at a person, a place, a period of time or an object from the story and leaves the conflict unsaid. If the title could also sit on a thriller or a romantic comedy, it is probably too general for a drama.
What kinds of drama titles are in this list?
The list covers sixteen styles. You will find literary phrases such as The Arithmetic of Leaving, family titles such as What the Will Said, working-class titles such as Double Shift at the Cannery, period titles such as Ration Book, courtroom titles such as The People v. Lorna Tate and one-word titles such as Forbearance.
Can I use one of these titles for my screenplay or short film?
Yes, you are free to use any of them. The list has not been compared with any database of released films, so some phrases may already be in use. Search your favorite together with the word film before you print it on a title page or submit to a festival.
Are the people named in the biopic-style titles real?
No. Titles such as The Rise of Dorothea Quill, A Song for Hollis Greer and The Ascent of Silas Trask are written around made-up subjects, in the style of a biographical drama. If one of those names happens to match a real person, that is a coincidence, and you should rename the subject to fit your own story.
