Week 30

Single word title

Revisiting one of our first, and most popular challenges from over 3 years ago. Your challenge is to watch a movie, with a title that's a single word. Hyphenated titles are fine (Kick-Ass), or titles that are multiple words but formatted in way that appears to be one word (Superbad)

It’s a fun way to explore different genres and storytelling styles, and I’ve got some great examples to share with you. Let’s dive right in with some examples
