Well Zarban's is The Pink Panther, and I pass my turn to Trey.

I keep hopping into this thread, eager to reply, and every time I come up with the answer for everyone fairly quickly. Unfortunately, every time I come in, Zarban was the last to post, and he has an uncanny ability to flummox me beyond hope.
Yes!
Little Miss Sunshine?
If so, Journey to the Heavens N, Where N is the Return Trip
Uh, From the Earth to the Moon? I have no clue.
Clue 1: N currently equals 11, but they no longer include N in the titles.
Clue 2: Perhaps Brian could help.
Clue 3: Perhaps a whale could help.
Clue 4: Really? You need four clues for a long-running franchise movie with a whale?

OH OH I KNOW I KNOW
I know this one! Easy. It's Star Wars, right? Gotta be.

Shawshank. Please.

All too easy. But I'll wait my turn, 'tis only fair.
I think Zarban's going to have to draw a diagram to explain the "return trip" malarkey, unless I'm being particularly Vulcan-retentive about this one.
Sorry. Given that they trek to the stars, "Return Trip" seemed a pretty solid substitution for "Voyage Home", I thought. Am I too much of a frequent flier?

The N doesn't make any sense to me Zarban. I would have just gone with "Celestial Journey: The Return Trip"
Shawshank. Please.

The N doesn't make any sense to me Zarban. I would have just gone with "Celestial Journey: The Return Trip"
The N thing is just a mathematical way of talking about variables.
Usually N is a number, so it works if you're talking about the series in general (Journey to the Heavens N), but not so much if you're replacing N with a phrase. The confusing thing is I think you were doing both.
Yeah, I interpreted "where N is the Return Trip" as a way of creating a phrase meaning 'Return Trip' and then substituting that into the first part of the statement. I think this is what Zarban intended, but, for some reason, I was expecting the "where N is..." portion of the title to still persist, along with the substitution that was made into the earlier part. In other words, I wasn't expecting the "where N is..." portion to disappear from the final result, but rather to remain somehow a part of it, and it was this double-presence that stymied me. I don't know why I thought this, though.
I'm not faulting Zarban; he's trying to find interesting ways to convey information, and it's up to me to keep up. It's a bit like learning the foibles of a cryptic crossword puzzle compiler, really.
