Fart Euphemisms in Movie Titles

Bookmark and Share
Of course I'm immature, but I don't think this is entirely my fault. It's not like I went looking for a bunch of movie titles that sound like coded descriptions of breaking wind. These just whooshed out, so don't accuse me of being childish because whoever smelt it dealt it. I mean, whoever accuses loses. Consider the evidence:

Top movie titles that sound like descriptions of a fart
  1. The Phantom Menace (IMDB) Aw, dude, who let loose the phantom menace?
  2. The Last Airbender (IMDB) No more corn dogs, dammit. That's the last airbender!
  3. The Happening (IMDB) Why all the incense? I had a happening.
  4. K-19: The Widowmaker (IMDB) Clear the room! We got a K-19 on the loose!
  5. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (IMDB) Uh oh. I smell a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Honorable Mentions
  • Something Wicked This Way Comes
  • Silent Running
  • Fast and Furious
  • The Fog
  • The Mist
  • What Lies Beneath
  • Gone with the Wind
  • Cast Away
  • Lethal Weapon
  • The Fifth Element
  • Baadasssss!
Some interesting patterns emerge. There are two films based on Stephen King stories (The Fog and The Mist). There are two films directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Happening and The Last Airbender). Noise or signal? Coincidence or meaning?

Feel free to let loose in the comments section for any you feel I've missed. Thank you for your contribution to this important issue.
