Speaking of coming late in a film, how about 'Leaving Las Vegas' from Mike Figgis?  The credits don't even come until way in the movie.  I forget the time exactly, imdb has the credits at fifteen minutes in, but I remember it being a lot later for some reason.  Is this a 20th Century Fox movie, Matt?

It is, but for whatever reason we don't have it.

I think the catalyst for that movie would be when he meets the prostitute.  Not sure if I remember when that happens.

EDIT: Actually, him going to Vegas might be considered the catalyst, and that happens very early in the movie.

Quoted from mcornetto What about Memento?  I think the catalyst for that one is about midway through the film.

p.91 of Save the Cat - "Screw Memento!"

Andrew Allen, got to say, your comment here is the 2nd time we've agreed on something in a few weeks, and that's got to be a record!  I've said it many times before, why peeps listen to Blake Snyder is way beyond me.  I don't think there is a single script he wrote that was even half way decent, was there?

Make your script work and don't worry about what page anything happens on.  There isn't a single paying customer that is watching his watch, expecting anything to happen 12 minutes in.

RUBBISH!!!
