    James Bond movie question (paging K1Bond007)

    Some of the James Bond movies have titles that are sort of phrases, like
    The World Is Not Enough
    Tomorrow Never Dies
    Live and Let Die
    You Only Live Twice
    Never Say Never Again (yeah I know, doesn't really count)

    And then others have more regular names like
    GoldenEye
    Moonraker
    Casino Royale
    Thunderball

    When Monolith wanted to do a James Bond send-up game they called it No One Lives Forever, which sounds like something from the first group above.

    My question is - is there a proper term for the names in the first group?
