Titles With "Runners"

I noticed lately that quite a few books/movies are titled "The ___ Runner."

Like

The Maze Runner

The Kite Runner

Blade Runner

Desert Runner

Which leads me to believe that, if you want to write a good story, include "Runner" or "Runners" in the title.

Or just take your favorite books/movies and substitute one word of the title with "Runners" or "Runner" and rewrite it.

Like,

The Fellowship of the Runners

The Two Runners

The Return of the Runners

An Unexpected Runner

The Runners of Smaug

The Battle of the Five Runners

O Runner, Where Art Thou?

Winnie the Runner

Harry Potter and the Runner's Stone

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Runners

Harry Potter and the Runner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Runner of Fire

Harry Potter and the Order of the Runners

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Runner

Harry Potter and the Deathly Runners

The Runner, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Prince-Runner

The Runners of the Dawn Treader

The Silver Runner

The Magician's Runner

The Last Runner

The Horse and His Runner

O Runners!

The Scarlet Runner

The Runner of Monte Cristo 

Gone with the Runners

I realize now that repeating a word over and over again makes it stop sounding like a word. Lemony Snicket did that to me once when he filled an entire page with "never ever ever ever.." I love that man.
