7. Oxymorons in Movie Titles

Movie titles offer some great examples of oxymorons because a movie title needs to be dramatic and enticing and what is more interesting than a movie promising contradiction? Some titles using oxymorons:

  • The Asphalt Jungle
  • 13 Going on 30
  • Begin Again
  • The Civil War (the whole idea of a civil war is about as contradictory as one can get)
  • Dead Again
  • Eyes Wide Shut
