Titular

I woke this morning thinking of movie titles.  Not exactly thinking them up, or on the other hand pondering the titles of movies I knew.  In a contemplative state I thought: Any Second Now is a mystery-thriller; Any Minute Now is a romantic comedy, possibly about a young woman come to the big city for adventure; and Any Day Now is a moving and uplifting family drama.  I actually remembered no films with those titles, but I assumed they existed.

Well, I just looked them up. Any Second Now is a murder-thriller.  Any Minute Now is a romance, but a horror-romance rather than a RomCom.  And Any Day Now is an uplifting family drama about a kid with Downs.  None were films I'd known about.    

James M. Cain (The Postman Always Rings Twice) used to complain about movie titles that could be anyting -- crime, musical comedy, slapstick. Your Money or your Life.  Hands Down. Up and Coming.  Etc.
