10 Best Movie Title Drops Ever

8. Iron Man

Jurassic Park Richard Attenborough
Marvel Studios

The Line: "The truth is...I am Iron Man."

Before it was breaking all our hearts in Endgame, this line was making audiences stand up and cheer at the end of the first Iron Man movie. But unlike most title drops of its type, this line doesn't signify the end of a character arc (mostly because Tony's arc in the film kinda ends after the desert stuff halfway through, in case you were wondering why everything after that is so hard to remember) but instead this line is the most in-character thing for Tony to do in the entire film.

After the insane light show that was the finale, Tony is asked to disavow any connection he has to Iron Man in order to protect his image. However, Tony decides that he wants this to be his image, and so proudly declares after a moment's consideration that he is, in fact, Iron Man.

This of course gets the attention of Nick Fury, kicking off the entire MCU as we know it today. Frankly, it would be a crime to leave this line off the list.
