A compilation of clips in which characters say the title of the movie, in the movie.
Possibly inspired by Andy Baio's compilation of supercuts, & a Family Guy cutaway.

Re 'Trainspotting' - it's also a notoriously pointless hobby still followed by bookish men and boys in the UK (less so now that the hand-crafted and unique locomotive is obsolete, but I've still seen them myself at Clapham Junction). I think Welsh was making an ironic comparison with heroin addiction.
Incidentally, but still rather interesting, trainspotting has been supplanted by 'planespotting'. And it is thanks to these fanatical nerds that we found out recently that one of the CIA's 'torture planes' had recently recently stopped in at Birmingham.

Re: North by Northwest, from Wikiperdia:
The title North by Northwest is often seen as having been taken from a line in Hamlet, a work also concerned with the shifty nature of reality.[9] Hitchcock noted this in an interview with Peter Bogdanovich in 1963. Lehman however, states that he used a working title for the film of "In a Northwesterly Direction," because the film's action was to begin in New York and climax in Alaska.[6] Then the head of the story department at MGM suggested "North by Northwest," but this was still to be a working title.[6] Other titles were considered, including "The Man on Lincoln's Nose," but "North by Northwest" was kept because, according to Lehman, "We never did find a [better] title."[6] The Northwest Airlines reference in the film plays on the title. The title is not an actual compass direction, the two closest directions being northwest by north (NWbN) and north-northwest (NNW), with the latter traditionally taken as the title's intended meaning.posted by stbalbach at 7:52 AM on November 7, 2009 [1 favorite]

Just a note on that - While a clever coincidence, that usage comes only by a reverse etymology.
The title (as explained by Welsh himself) comes from a scene in the book (which, incidentally, doesn't form a continuous narrative, but a set of short stories in the same general setting - Similar to "I, Robot", which ironically contains no such eponymous story) centering on the traditional meaning of the word.
Any definition referring to heroin use comes from after the movie due to its popularity (and perhaps the fact that 99% of Americans had never heard of "trainspotting" as a hobby/leisure activity).

As opposed to movies like Reservoir Dogs, North By Northwest, and Trainspotting, whose titles have absolutely nothing to do with the movie.
Tarantino's been cagey about it for years, but the reservoir dogs in Reservoir Dogs would seem to be the drug-sniffing dogs in Mr. Orange's story (the dogs are in the bathroom, therefore near a large number of small reservoirs of water). The dogs bark at Orange, recognizing him for what he is (i.e., that he has drugs on his person), but they're ignored by the cops. The parallels between this and Orange's role in the overall story of the movie are pretty clear.

(Actually, it's been ages since I've seen it, and looking back there may only be one dog in Orange's story. Either way, it works -- Blonde is the first one to figure it out, but by the end of the film everyone's onto Orange except for Mr. White, who they die trying to convince. Um, sorry if I'm spoiling this seventeen-year-old movie for anybody.)

The title for the film came to Quentin Tarantino via a patron at the now-famous Video Archives.

Amazed this cringeworthy moment wasn't in there. (Spoilers if you haven't seen Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies. Not that you're likely to want to after that clip.)

As opposed to movies like Reservoir Dogs,
A friend of mine met Tarantino once, right before Reservoir Dogs was released theatrically. He told me that Quentin told him that the title Reservoir Dogs was an in joke between him and his friends/customers at the video store he worked at when he wrote it. It's what he/they called Au revoir les enfants because none of them could pronounce it.

I was surprised by the number of quotes that have made it into American popular vernacular....incorrectly.
TV Tropes has that one covered too.
Also on the topic of Reservoir Dogs: "I don't want to miss the, uh, reservoir scene."
