"I Started Something I Couldn't Finish"

"You Know I Couldn't Last"

More to the point:

"There Is A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends"

No?? Okay, something fluffy, naive, and life-affirming:

♥♥ Sister, I'm a Poet ♥♥

†Oh, death, where is thy sting?...

"The Harsh Truth Of The Camera Eye"

Although that would suggest a real warts and all look at our man Moz and I somehow doubt that would ever be sanctioned.

I expect Mozzer will agonise over the title as long as he does the content. This will be his magnum opus - it's gotta be good. Someone who lives and dies by his words will want a killer title.

Something like 'This Charming Man', although perhaps a popular choice, is just so obvious that I would feel severely let down if he were to take such an easy option. Likewise any other song title (unless maybe a very obscure one).

My money goes on either a Wildean epigram, a simple but clever one-word title, or simply 'Morrissey'.

I'm Mr Morrissey - Get Me Out Of Here!

I like the music - but come now people

-The Treading Lemming

All men have secrets

There's more to life than books, you know

And the hills are alive with celibate cries

Please keep me in mind

This is the final stand of all I am

Oh has the world changed, or have I changed ?

Fame, Fame, fatal Fame

I am a living sign

The pleasure - the privilege is mine

Could life ever be sane again ?

Oh, I can smile about it now But at the time it was terrible

If you have five seconds to spare

Is there any point ever having children ?

Do you Love me like you used to ?

Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?

Sweet And Tender Hooligan

I Keep Mine Hidden

And these are just using Smiths lyrics

'My Name Is Mozza and you, Johnny Marr, are my best friend' would probably be the best title.

"I Was The singer in a Mike Joyce Band"

The torment and torture of genius
or
Reader meet Author

"Used To Be A Sweet Boy", maybe?

"Sheila Take A Bow" (just to keep them guessing)

"Let the Right One Slip In"

"The Last Truly British Person You Will Ever Know" (wordy, but it is our Morrissey)

Who Put The "M" in Movie....

I personally think that Moz himself would find most appeal in 'Last Of The Famous...' itself alluding to glamour and crime, but actually being totally non-descriptive of the man himself. More enigmatic in other words.

Running Wilde Club Records, I once had the pleasure of choosing a title for a compilation LP, and had had no problem in opting for 'I Might Walk Home Alone' mainly chosen for the benefit of those smart enough to know the next line!

'My Faith In Love Is Still Devout' could be a film title, but sounds more like his autobiography!

BARRY NEWMAN

But if they ask him to present a TV show about landscape gardening he should call it "The Hedges are no Longer Parallel"

Heaven Knows I'm miserable now

I picked Sing Your Life, although I kind of like I Wont Share You... Or.....nope, I got nothin. DAMN YOU EXAMS!!!! Who needs accounting anyways?!

Maplefreak

I think it was such a good title for The book of the same name it should be the title for the movie too.

I would use part of his song title or something like one such as "Trouble Needs Him" or "Get Of the Stage" would be just perfect because it would confuse everyone except the people who love him. Or "Morrissey-To Know Him is To Love Him". Since he is the Godfather of Alternative Music, why not name it "The Godfather Sings"?

I think that "I've changed my plea to guilty" is a good choice because is one of the most beautiful and relatively unkonwn songs, and reflects much of Moz...

I voted for James Dean Is Not Dead, which I think is a brilliant title, although the potential problems with recognition and marketing are more than obvious.

But, if we're going to suggest others - using references to Smiths and Morrissey songs - my choice would be very easy: What She Said.

love
math+

'Education In Reverse', becasue it sounds lasting and purposeful enough, and also because it would be a fitting for a widely released 'bio-pic' delivered well after the fact.

is the one I think I'd go for.

Just kidding...But isn't it strange how this insult from a high court judge judy really sounds like it came out of Morrissey's own lyrics? I think he knows this, which is why he often repeats it.

The teaser trailer would be a medley of Morrissey music, lyrics, and words, then huge, brushed-steel titles appear "DTU 05/29/2009" Fade out.

...more importantly, who would play him? i think pauly shore is the obvious choice.

I'm guessing they would use his name in the title rather than the title of one of his songs. They probably won’t get his input (maybe not even his blessing) and that along with low production costs would mean they would probably use the voice of the actor portraying him instead of Morrissey's own voice. It would most likely be given limited distribution and limited advertising because they will be looking at their production costs, probably even more than anything like artistry or getting their facts straight. (In which case, perhaps it should be called "Morrissey, we hardly knew ye.") But seeing as how it will probably take too long to be made anyway, how about "The artist formerly known as Morrissey"?

- Truer Poetry

"Manchester-Shirtlifter"

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.

If a box office success is what you're looking for, then your gonna have to get all the non-fans into the theater. How Soon Is Now? is the only song title everyone knows.

It will be the name of the book, but 'Unlovable' is the perfect title...

Cazza

Pashernate Love. Well, maybe.

would also be good

Irish blood, english heart

Suedehead

Everyday is like Sunday

His Arsenal

Ringleader

umm...I walk the line is/was probably j cash's biggest and most recognizable song

so Moz's movie would/should be called

SUEDEHEAD

yup

I think a title does not do a very good job of incapsulating a human being. But if I had to give a bio film a title it would be "The Boy with a torn in his side", since he seemed to have been so caustic and sensitive since his adolescence - or the Dark Prince, since he is so romantic and pessimistic at the same time. Or, borrowing from a title from a Annie Rice novel, The King of the Damned.

Me, Myself and I.

"Who Put the M in Monday night, a bit bored, might as well go down the pictures and watch that film about that bloke out of The Smiths"

(film could only be shown Monday evenings, for this to really work well)

"There is a light that never goes out"

I think that the name for the documentary “The importance of being Morrissey” was good enough to be repeated. But, also reflecting on the stirs created from early in the Smiths career in high places, and even as recently as last year by Morrissey after the comment in Dublin when Reagan died, and less so in the record industry with the non-word-mincing statement on the run-up to the Isle of Wight festival, would Tormentor of the Ringleaders be a contender? There is also a lot to be said for "TIALTNGO".

TLOTFIPBs is perfect really - camp, tongue-in-cheek and far too dramatic for a burly northerner like Moz!

broken

...slip in. Has to be.

'There is a Light' for the closing credits.

I am getting quite sick of these lame reference titles that are given to biographies en biographical movies. So incredibly unoriginal and completely beside the point. Of all the possibilities listed, the only one that seems to be of any use is "James Dean Is Not Dead", as it refers to Morrissey as a modern day James Dean, which in some ways he could be seen as.

He Cried

I Won't Share You.

Importance of being Morrissey ...was a good and interesting doc
and fine name too!

Reuseit IOBM2

...would be so apt.

what about: "Morrisey, so much to answer for"...

True To You.

Or to get wiv da kidz, Tru 2 U

says it all

if there was to be a bio about morrissey, it should indeed be "There is a light that never goes out" I discovered The Smiths when I was 17 and have been following morrissey ever since... When someone speaks to you at such a level and constantly it means something...

...'Escaped from a shipwrecked life'.

Sheesh, is this poll still up? Well, then I'll put my two cents in.

The movie will star Daniel Day-Lewis as Morrissey and it would be titled:

"My Lead Foot"

I figure the shooting location will be somewhere around Caversham. :)

Famous When Dead

"Leave me alone I was only singin"

or

"Ask Julia, Julia knows"

"Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" is probably too long, but it fits. "The Leeches Go On Removing" would be quite nice as well.
I voted for Education in Reverse myself.
