A large-scale analysis of 73,921 films from the last 80 years on how often, and when, they do a 'title drop' — a character saying the title of the movie they're in. About a third of all films do it in some form; 11.3% do a 'real' one where the protagonist looks at the camera and declares the title with maximum pathos. Non-fiction is most likely to title-drop (50%), war films least. A delightful rabbit hole for anyone who loves patterns in culture.
