Generally, the title of a single movie is not registrable as a trademark, however the name of a series of movies may be registrable. A title is also not copyrightable.
Someone recently filed for a federal registration for "Debbie Does Dallas" for clothing, namely shirts, tee-shirts, sweatshirts and hats.

You should consult your intellectual property lawyer.
