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.
In addition to other rights, the owners of a title may have state and/or federal unfair competition rights they can assert.
You should consult your intellectual property lawyer.Comment

FYI -- generally, the test for whether you infringe someone else's trademark is "likelihood of confusion" and takes a number of factors into account like whether the goods/services are similar, channels of distribution, etc.
So using this as an example hypothetically and assuming there are trademark rights, a court would look at whether someone who owns rights in debbiedoesdallas (and there is a site with this url) could claim that consumers are confused into thinking that debbiedoestampa is associated with debbiedoesdallas.
As always, you should consult your lawyer.Comment
