I saw an old advert for The Man in the Iron Mask and noticed it came out in 1998 which I never realised despite watching it last year. During a Google search to confirm that fact, the auto-suggestion brought up terms such as The Man in the High Castle and it got me thinking: how many movies start with the phrase ‘The Man in the’?
I picked 10:
- The Man in the Iron Mask (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Moon (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Hat (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Net (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Woods
- The Man in the White Suit (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Silo (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Brown Suit (letterboxd link)
- The Man in the Wall
- The Man in the Raincoat
Honourable mentions: The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Man in the Glass Booth, The Man in the Orange Jacket, and The Man in the Black Cape
There are at least 3 films with men in different coloured suits (white, brown, and grey), one in an orange jacket and one in a raincoat. Then there’s one in a black cape and one in a hat.
Update: I’ve created a Letterboxd list for them too and may add to it over time.
