Best Famous Movie Slogans

Sometimes the success of the whole picture depends on the right slogan of the film. This is a phrase that is remembered immediately after the title of the film. It is an art to choose a slogan so that it is associated with this particular film.

In our country, for obvious reasons, such art appeared relatively recently. But in the West, a large part of the film’s budget is given to talented copywriters, who make up the slogans for films.

Here are some principles of sloganism:

• the slogan should reflect the whole meaning of the film;
• as a rule, it should be as short as possible;
• the slogan of the film should be memorable;
• it needs to be composed so that it sounds no less beautiful when pronounced (remember those moments when a beautiful languid voice in the trailer, after the title of the film itself, says a phrase that gives you goosebumps?)

Here are some examples of well-chosen slogans:

1. “Intrigue. Chaos. Soap” for the film “Fight Club”. It would seem that there are only three words that (at first glance) are not related. However, how do they correspond to the plot of the film! As they say, neither take away nor add.
2. “Is it possible to fall in love with the first word?” for the film “Lake House”. Here, in addition to linking to the plot, another curious technique is used. It is the question addressed to the audience that makes them direct participants in the events. And to answer it, the creators call to watch the film.
3. “For love is strong as death” for the film “Admiral”. I won’t say that this is the best slogan, but here the creators used another method – to a direct famous quote. I don’t know how much the quote from the Bible to Kolchak fits in, but the fact remains.
4. “In space, no one will hear your cry” to the famous film “Alien”. This is a “classic” in the topic of slogans, about which so much has already been written that my comments here will simply be redundant.

But what about poorly chosen slogans? The slogan written for the film “Gangster” immediately came to my mind – “It happened once in America …”. Why make a reference to a legendary film with nothing more than a gangster theme? It’s not clear to me personally. Nevertheless, this did not prevent the film from winning many prestigious awards thanks to a talented director and a whole galaxy of Hollywood stars. But that is another story.

I propose to dream up a little and imagine how the slogans for famous Soviet films could look like.

Eg:

• “Moscow does not believe in tears”. – “Epoches change, love remains”
• “Afonya” – “To change the world for the better, start with yourself”
• “Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath!” – “True love lives without a residence permit”

Well, it’s just my fantasy. What are your favorite movie slogans? Or you can give an example of the most unfortunate ones. Or maybe you will pick up my game and come up with your own slogans for famous old films?
