Line 13: * ''[[5 Centimeters Per Second]]'' * ''[[Eureka Seven]]''. Eureka is the name of the female lead. "Seven" is never talked about. * ''[[Macross II]]'' * ''[[Macross 7]]'' * ''[[Samurai 7]]'' Line 28 ⟶ 29: * ''8 1/2'', so called by director [[Federico Fellini]] because he had previously directed six features, two shorts, and one film with a co-director—counting the shorts and the collaborative works as half-pictures, that made this one number eight and a half. This was loosely adapted into a musical called ''[[Nine (theatre)\|Nine]]''. Just to add further confusion, the 3D animated (and unrelated) movie ''~[[9~]]'' is coming out the same year, an adaptation of the short film of the same name. The way to distinguish them is how they're written: word (''Nine'') or digit (''9''), but plenty of sites ignore that and confuse the issue even more. ** It's worth noting that ''[[District 9]]'' came out that year as well, and was playing in cinemas alongside ''~9~'' (the one with stitchpunks). * ''The Number 23''. * ''3'', ~~slightly justified as the title of~~ a [[Biopic]] of NASCAR driver [[Dale Earnhardt]] Sr., who used the number for most of his career. The same number can be seen on numerous cars and pickup trucks in the Southern U.S. ** ''Heavily'' justified. Just look at the bumper of any car in the South. * ''61'' attached to Roger Maris; nothing to do with his own number (for most of his career, 9), but it's the number most associated with him (for his breaking of Babe Ruth's 60-homers-a-season record, the asterisk being added because seasons were shorter in Ruth's day). * Also for the perception that the wrong guy broke the record, as most were rooting for Maris' more popular teammate, Mickey Mantle. Note that no ''other'' records held asterisks, and that Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds avoided the asterisk by also breaking Ruth's record in runs per game. * An upcoming film called ''3993''. * The movie ''[[21 (2008 film)\|21]]'', which is about blackjack. Line 84: == [[Theatre]] == * ''[[13~~\|Thirteen~~]]'' == [[Video Games]] == Line 157: * ''[[1942]]''. Recently remade as ''1942: Joint Strike''. * ''Street Fighter 2010'' * ''[[20XX]]'', a ''Mega Man''-inspired [[roguelike]]. ** And ''20XX TE'', a ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' mod. {{reflist}} [[Category:Title Tropes]] [[Category:Number Tropes]] [[Category:~~{{PAGENAME}}~~Title by Number]]
