Another thing...
The "Gordon line"....
That's the line in a movie where they state the title, especially in a movie where you're not sure what the film returns to. For instance, a movie like Batman, where they said the name Batman a million times, wouldn't count.
But when Doc Brown says, "This Saturday night, we're sending you back.....to the future!" Well, that's the classic example of the Gordon line.

How did I miss this post? I have an entire theory based around this "Gordon Line"...
I would estimate that in 90-95% of movies that have a "Gordon Line" moment, the best parts of the movie occur after the first "Gordon Line".
Obviously, there are exceptions (I'll stick with "Batman", but I'm sure there are others).
Watch other movies sometime and keep track. It's really uncanny.
One exception is Chinatown, where it's the very last line in the screenplay.
