"Breaking" Bad

  All right, so I could've put any number of words up there after "breaking." It was just the first word that popped into my head. 
  Today I'm going to talk about the many, many films that contain the word "away" in their titles, and Breaking Away (1979) tops the list, mostly because it inspired this whole post. I was sitting there, watching the trailer, and it popped into my head: "Many, many movies have the word 'away' in the title." No, really, it did. I think things like that sometimes. As you can tell from this blog. 
  So if you thought this was about that show with that guy about the chem teacher with cancer who cooks meth to make some money with one of his students or whatever, sorry. 
  And if it was, the quotes would be around both words, not just one of them. Duh.
  Anyway, here's my list. They aren't in, I dunno, alphabetical order or order of quality or anything, because I haven't seen most of them, just their trailers or read about them in Entertainment Weekly or something. This isn't a film review blog. If that's what you want, go check out A Series Man or something. 
  No, honestly, that blog's great. 
  MY LIST: 
  •   Breaking Away
  •  Swept Away
  •  Flushed Away
  •  Away We Go
  •  Spirited Away
  •  Fly Away Home
  •  Cast Away  
  And to this, I ask, "Why?????? Why are so many people trying to move 'away' from something?????? What would a psychiatrist have to say about that???"
  Or is it just me?
