This study is an attempt to reveal the effect of sounds on the meaning of the form (word) that they formulate. A contrastive phonosemantic study is made on four historical epic, action, comic and romantic movies’ titles to show how sounds can reflect meaning and associate with feelings, emotions and attitudes. The Universal Theory that Agrawal suggested is used as a model in this study. The results show that sounds are meaning-bearing elements. Furthermore; they reveal that the titles reflect the events of their movies.
