A movie isn't made in just a few days....takes months---years, and then there's editing. Hours and hours of film are cut and thrown on the floor to get a movie perfect for release.
One of the most important aspects of the movie is the title. The title must grab the reader, hold their attention, even bring to their minds an image about what they are reading, what they are about to view.
Below are some of the rejected titles for the movie now known as "Brokeback Mountain."
Prances With Wolves
Jeremiah's Johnson
Butch Assidy and the Bundance Kid
The Man Who Shot All Over Liberty Valance
How the West Was Hung
The Legend of the Long Ranger
Doc's Holliday With Billy the Kid

Rooster Cockburn
Little Bathhouse On the Prairie
Baloney Pony Rodeo
Tubesteak Cowboys
Siver-Rod-OHHHH

The Magnificent Seven Inches
