History DoubleMeaningTitle / LiveActionFilms

* ''Film/{{Cleanskin]]'' is a term for both an undercover operative unknown to his or her targets, like Ewan, and an extremist with no previous convictions, so therefore unknown to national security's services, like Ash.

* ''Film/Anon2018'': "Anon" refers to both the mysterious, [[NoNameGiven nameless girl]] being pursued by the main character, as well as the broader concept of anonymity in an interconnected society and hacker groups by that name.

* ''Film/{{Barbarian}}'', [[spoiler:the film's title can allude to two things; the address, 476 Barbary, which sounds like the inhabitant of that home would be a "Barbarian," but can also reference the multiple characters that commit acts of barbarism in the film. The Mother is a violent, feral deformity of a human being, and Frank is a serial rapist who kidnapped and imprisoned women in his dungeon while taping his violent rapes of them. AJ can also count to a lesser extent, given the ''heavy'' implications that he raped a coworker on set.]]
** Could actually have another meaning: [[spoiler:the origin of the word Barbarian pertains to someone who is a foreigner. The Greeks use this since anyone that doesn't speak Greek is heard as mindless babbling (or "bar bar") by them. This manner of speaking is all the Mother is mentally capable of, and her lack of being able to communicate properly, as well as her circumstances as a foreigner/outcast from society, are largely relevant to the movie's overall themes. ]]

* ''Film/Conviction2010'' is a legal drama made in 2010 about a woman who spends [[{{Determinator}} eighteen years tirelessly working to free her wrongfully convicted brother from prison]], refusing to believe that he is guilty.

* Creator/TerrenceMalick's ''Film/TheNewWorld2005'' is a historical drama about the settlement of Jamestown in the 17th century, focusing heavily on the folkloric romance between John Smith and UsefulNotes/{{Pocahontas}}. The title most obviously refers to the English colonists' journey to North America, but also hints at Pocahontas' journey to England in the third act.

* ''Film/Severance2006'', a post-''Film/{{Hostel}}'' horror film set on a corporate retreat. "Severance" is 'termination of employment' (the threat of which drives the conflict), and 'dismemberment'.
