I was actually a bit annoyed by the change in tone of Three Kings when I saw it at the theatre. I didn't know it back then and I prefer to know beforehand if I'm watching something fun or something serious (or a combination thereof). I never thought much about the title. But I always thought it alludes to the three guys shown in your two pictures above that behave like kings in the Middle East. There's a commentary track on the DVD but I kind of doubt there wil be information about the title.
I don't think I made it through Behind Enemy Lines without a lot of fast-forwarding. Maybe I didn't even watch it 'til the end. Patriotism overload. :)
I originally had higher expectations for Jarhead. I didn't know what to make of it. You probably know it, so just to make sure, I think the "Jesus Walks" comment by "lage_nom_ai" refers to the excellent trailer they made for the movie that very prominentely featured the song. Looking back I'd say it's one of those instances where only watching the trailer a couple of times instead of the movie is the better option.
