The Fargo and The Schindler's List wouldn't work. They're specific nouns.

Quote from: picolasThe American Beauty
The Fight Club

These are the only acceptable titles for me. TAB fits well but I still do prefer it without 'the'.
"The Fight Club," to me, is actually a better title.

Cecil, since you already know whether or not i lent you the time machine, the question became irrelevant before you asked it.

would it be out of line for me to say this is The most boring thread i ever read

what with me using The and all

i could make you happy and go comic book guy style and say " most boring thread ever"

now let me save this wreck

like the guy said in the commitments" you got to add a The in front of your bands name ala

the rolling stones
the temptations
the white stripes

now lots of great bands have not used the like for example oasis and Air supply

but "the" Adds a eliment of class when it fits it should be used

like leo dicaprios buddys were " The pussy posse"
frank sinatra ran " the rat back"

in films however like in life only when it fits for example "the Royal Tenenbaums"

goodfellas was meant to be snappy and in your face and scarey less then classy

however The exercist sounds better then "exercist"

but dont worry the right people know when and when not to use it

"The Exorcist" sounds better than both of them.

And the "The Rat Pack" sounds much more menacing than "The Rat Back".

Disagree if you must, but that's my opinion.

Quote from: RegularKarateThe Magnolia Cafe

There's actually a little cafe called Magnolia's relatively near me with a very attractive waitress and weird, very good food...seriously, if you ever go to Rochester, go to Magnolia's, it's great. There's also a street called Magnolia Road with a good italian restaurant on it.

Just trying to contribute to the most boring thread ever as it was called.

We actually have The Magnolia Cafe here, that's why I mentioned it... I'm sure there are a lot of them since Magnolia is a popular street name. (though none of our Magnolia Cafes here are on Magnolia)
