Great Idea.
Love it.
But Wild, Spirited, Fury and Cool are actions, not emotions.


But if you were to change the wording of the question you could keep those titles in. Plus add many more.

Which Top 250 film with a loosely based emotional action or emotion name in its title is your favorite?


FYC

Harakiri (1962) "Harakiri"is suicide in Japanese. An action brought on by a severe emotional state.
Joker (2019) A "joker" is a person eliciting the emotion of laughter.
Psycho (1960) Being "psycho" is an emotional response to a set of circumstances.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Being "dark" is a form of a mood or emotion.
Good Will Hunting (1997) Wishing one "good will" is a feeling of well being. An Emotion.
Braveheart (1995) Being "brave" requires actions that show bravery. An emotional action response.
The Sting (1973) One can feel the "sting" of a love lost or be stung by love. An emotional action.

There are many more in the 250.
Just look.

Thank you, as you know, I'm not anglophone. so this poll is one of the hardest for my linguistic skills.

For now, I will only concentrate on actual emotions and not on actions, so did I missed actual emotions???






Wild:

Very enthusiastic or excited
or
Very Angry
I'm not anglophone so I will need more information to decide if it is eligible or not.


spir·it·ed

/ˈspiridəd/

adjective
  1. 1.
    full of energy, enthusiasm, and determination.
    "a spirited campaigner for women's right


  2. 2.
    having a specified character, outlook on life, or mood.
    "he was a warmhearted, generous-spirited man"




    fu·ry

    /ˈfyo͝orē

    noun



    1. 1.
      wild or violent anger.
      "tears of fury and frustration"



      Cool:

    Is that not an emotion, in french when we use "Cool" as an angliscism we often refer to it as an emotion.





PS: I realize that I'm definitely to the great person to post this idea, I'm very largely unqualified to determine the difference between an action, a state or an emotion in a language that is not even my primarily one.

I guess "brave" in Braveheart is a feeling.
