R.I.P.D.: Rest in Peace Department or R.I.P.D. or Rest in Peace Department because of the decisions on similar titles in the past year all 3 are correct.

Only one is correct. The others are personal preference.

And who is going to decide this one - Mob rule , Dictator rule, or Common sense, because people don't want to follow the rules when it's not how they want it.

Since the "Men in Black" ruling by Ken does not apply to anything but "Men in Black", then the standard rule applies:

"Take the title from the front cover"

Not part of the title, or the part that you think is right, or the one that matches the credit block, or the one everyone else uses, or the one IMDB uses or any other source.

Simply take the title from the front cover.

Here is my opinion

R.I.P.D.: Rest in Peace Department

To quote a section of the rules:

Quote:

Episode descriptors are part of the title; separate them with a colon and space; e.g. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". For multiple descriptors, use a colon and space for each break.

Not saying it's wrong.
But for it to be an episode, shouldn't there be more than 1 film to make it a series of films like Star Trek.

How do you know there is only going to be one? 

I: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

42: The Jackie Robinson Story

actually should only be 42 without the descriptive tag line underneath it.

It is on the cover as part of the title, maybe I am blind.  But where in the rules does it state we are supposed to ignore that.  Granted the original title should be 42 in this case,

These discussions about titles is getting ridiculous.

The title rule needs to be changed.  The marketing gimmicks that manufacturers use, does not get us the title we need

Men in Black 3 is the title, not MIB³
Men in Black 2 is the Title, not MIIB
Men in Black is the title, not MIB

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace  not what ever crap they put on the cover to sell it.

R.I.P.D. is the Title,

or any of the other stupid discussions we have about titles..
