Just wondering what are the correct titles for the Men in Black films.

The rules states to take the title from the front cover.

So for the following what is correct?



1. MIB: Men in Black
2. Men in Black



1. MIIB: Men in Black II
2. Men in Black II

Do we treat the MIB or MIIB as just a logo, or is it actually part of the title?

Just wondering.

MIB: Men in Black
MIIB: Men in Black II

Mr. Jones & Mr. Smith would be just the actors above the title and has nothing do with the titles.
Back in Black is also a slogan for the movie and it too has nothing do with the titles.

I would class the MIB and MIIB as logos, and as we have both the logos and the titles in text on the front cover, I would say go with the text only:
-Men in Black
-Men in Black II

Who says that MIB & MIIB aren't just logos and have nothing to do with the titles either?

I would say that MIB and MIIB in this case are logos and should be omitted from the profile.

However - my R2 release of Men in Black II has only MIIB printed on the front cover, so that would be another case altogether...

I didn't think he was serious since he used the devil smiley.

also, if he was serious there would still be a problem with what he typed since, unless I'm just missing the comma between Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith its added text that doesn't appear on the cover

MIB and MIIB are logos. The title is written below the logo in these cases.
