worst movie titles

Postby **Maledicte** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:41 pm

you know some movies have titles that just....STINK? as in, who came up with this movie and how does it make me want to watch it? yeah. Doesn't matter whether or not the movie itself is good.

The Interpreter--sounds very...un-thrilling to me.
Saw--possibly the worst named movie ever, because you sound like an idiot if you talk about it. "Did you see Saw?" "Oh, I saw Saw last night! lol"

And others...

Manos: the Hands of Fate, which I believe translates to Hands: the Hands of Fate.

Redundant spooookiness...

I know what you did last summer. And the many horrid sequals that followed...including I kid you not, the newest to come. "I will always know what you did last summer"

Attack of the Clones. *shakes head*

Anways, Movie titles sound really lame whenever they end it with ".........:The Movie!" -and we can't forget Star Trek: The Motion Picture. :lol:

I can think of two, except they're pretty old and I've never actually seen them: Them! and The Man With The Power.

The Neverending Story II. How can a story with no end have a sequel?

Hey, SirThink, I'll have you know that "The Interpreter" is a good movie. Its a slow-paced, thoughtful thriller and is not supposed to be a "thrill-a-minute" thing. Thus the title "The Interpreter" is the correct title. Not a classic but a good movie.

Dumb movie titles: The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964). It is a crap movie but lets face it - dumb title. Amusing title though.

Attack of the Clones It would have been a good title if the goodguys were actually attacked by clones, not leading the attack in itself.

Sergio Leone, who directed "Fistful of Dollars" & "The Good, the Bad & The Ugly", is one of the best directors ever. But his little seen movie set in the Mexican Revolution owes its obscurity due to its title. The movie has two titles and has been released under both for several times, but neither are inspiring. In the United Kingdom it was released under the title "Fistful of Dynamite", obviously to cash in on the success of a similarly titled western, making most people think its just a ripp-off of the previous film. The US title it was released under was even worse: "Duck, you Sucker". The original Italian title however is hardly better. It translates as...."Once Upon a Time... the Revolution." Admittedly though it seems to capture the movie's setting better than the other titles.

I love that movie! Well the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 version. Pricless...just like Mitchell. :lol:

Anyone know what movie that was with Joe Don Baker as a Texas Ranger who had to bust some Maltese mafia or something?

The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Besides the fact that it sucked that's just too long winded.

Ohhh another good one Order No. 27. It's a North Korean Tai Kwan Do/
Action/Propaganda movie. It's so ridiculous obviously, but it's entertaining. :lol:

Mystic Pizza was always a stupid name. So are variants on things such as "October Rain" or "December Sun" or "February Snow" -- they sound like something that popped out of a Market-o-Matic or a group advertising panel. Marketing by committee = teh f3ar.

As bad as a title as this was, it was also strangely appropriate given how much the movie ripped off other films.

Never actually saw the movie, but something about that title doesn't sit well with me.

Alas, I haven't seen it yet, though I really, really want to. I've only read an article about it's anniversary and it's infamy. It sounds pretty awesomely horrendous.

I'm reminded of the episode of Simpsons where Bart got a fake driver's license and they went to see a movie.

As Nelson walks out of the theater, he looks up at the marquee and the title of the movie, Naked Lunch.

Nelson then states, "I can think of two things wrong with that title."

I certainly hope so, as it was about transvestites.

EDIT: Looks like great minds think alike, eh, Lehn? ^_^

They couldn't use that title because of the already existing song by the name. In Japan they can get away with it, but not in America.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

An amusingly bad name for an equally bad movie...

'Captain Sky and the World of Tomorrow' almost discouraged me from watching it but I liked the cast. I watched it anyway and liked it.
