the movie title self-reference moment - what is that called?

You know, within the film- when the movie title is said or shown - I seem to remember from a film theory class years ago that this moment has a particular name used by film theorists. Was I high or is there such film geek jargon?

examples --
Elrond names the 9 the "fellowship" in Lord of the Rings FotR
In Kiki's Flying Delivery Service- the baker makes a sign and hangs it in the window

    Could the terms you are searching for be - the "titular line" that is spoken or the "titular role" for the person that speaks the line?
