The Noun and the Noun

In a more upscale cousin of the Magic Ampersand, lots of novels and classic films have names that consist solely of lists of two or three nouns. Frequently these nouns are abstract, reflecting overarching themes more than specific plot points.

A standard subtrope is a title that parodies the Austen examples below; these will generally have two alliterative nouns, the second of which is considerably longer than the first.
