Including films where the title is a character name makes the data set less interesting. “Barbie title-drops a ton!” yeah ok.

I'm imagining some film school student explaining how Barbie would have been a better movie, a real film even, without mentioning the character's name.

In The Ghost Writer the main character's name is never mentioned.

Barbie could be en even better movie if one did a shot each time the name was heard.

It's implied that his name is "Jack," assuming the poetry written from the point of view of Jack's organs were an earlier coping mechanism for the MC.
