Blackletter in Film/TV Shows: Know any?
I’ve been searching around trying to find film or television shows that use blackletter in their title but can’t seem to find or think of any that do! The only one I have right now is There Will Be Blood. There must be at least one other that uses blackletter, it can’t be /that/ difficult, can it? Anyway, would really appreciate some other examples.

I’d suggest browsing the gothic/horror/nazi sections of your video store/Amazon.com/IMDB and you’re bound to hit a few examples.

Another one, from Ralf’s Flickr stream: Harsh Times.
Not a TV show’s title, but still interesting: the knee-jerk reaction of German news to fall back on poor Fette Fraktur when it comes to illustrate obnoxious topics: Rassismus, Hooligans (found by Judith Schalansky).

This was a Blackadder special from 1999: Blackadder: Back & Forth
I don’t think any of the original Blackadder TV series used blackletter for the titles, though there is some attempt at evocation of historical type styles.
