Are there any movie titles out there that would make you NOT want to see the flick?

A few come to mind:

The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Yeah, real popcorn flick there. :rolleyes: popcorn:

How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Sounds like it gives too much away. Part of the suspense is thinking that she'll NEVER get her groove back. Spoils it for me.

The Man Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain.

True story about a guy who was caught in a dispute over whether an elevated piece of land in Wales should be considered a mountain or a hill. Title gives the whole thing away.

Any others?

Manos Hands of Fate
Shoula been called Dont See This Movie

Anything that starts with "Die Hard" and ends with a number! :lol:

Yup that is a band name for a movie LOL not as bad as Manos though

Santa With Muscles ( yes thats actually the name of a movie )

Anything to do with a "Weekend At Bernies'

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Santa With Muscles ( yes thats actually the name of a movie )
" Merry Christmas, and take THAT you little sonafa....... !!!"

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl

The title sounds like one of those made-up titles they have when there's a scene inside a cinema in a sitcom or a movie- like Zombie-Robot Death Machine 3000 or something!

Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind....huh?

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians!

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians!

Attack of the the Eye Creatures. (yes there were two "the"s in the title)

Actually I don't - when and what is it on Brian? I'd like to!!

It's been a family joke since it came out in the 1950s - my grandmother took my older brothers to see it and apparently could only sit through 10 minutes of it before she was trying to get them to leave! :rotflmao:

I do remember seeing it again sometime last year from channel surfing - maybe I did hit Mystery Science Theater 3000! It was part of some marathon as I recall. Boy, ya gotta wonder who dreamt that one up eh?! :lol:

The show isn't anywhere on TV right now and probably never will. The rights to all the movies they could show have expired. (for the last year or so the show was on, the Sci-Fi Channel could only show only a few of them because even the rights to a lot of the early Sci-Fi era episodes ran out)

You can buy some episodes on DVD, or rent them. The series won't come in season sets (it would be way too expensive for Rhino, plus quite a few rights holders intentionally charge too much to keep them from being shown) but they have been releasing box sets. They've released 7 (8 if you count the Essentials set, which has two episodes, one of them with Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) sets and an 8th is reportedly on the way. Some individual episodes can also be purchased on DVD.

Great! Thx a bunch for the infor - I'll check them out! :wave:

How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Lol, YES, but the movie is called 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back', which suggests to me that its not going to be about whether or not she does get it back, its about how she did it. Otherwise it could have been titled Will Stella Get Her Groove Back or Did Stella Get Her Groove Back :lol:

Otherwise it could have been titled Will Stella Get Her Groove Back or Did Stella Get Her Groove Back :lol:In my study of screenwriting, there is an important element of the story what is known as "the Black Moment", or The Major Setback. This is the part toward the end of the movie where we're led to believe all is lost for the hero, he doesn't get the girl, he doesn't win the championship, he doesn't save the village, everything he's been prompted to do all through the flick is ultimately a disaster--so we think. We should be led to think that maybe Stella NEVER gets her groove back, but we're thinking, wait, the movie is called "Stella Gets Her Groove Back" so it stands to reason how she does. So it gives it away implicitly in the title. Isn't it more interesting to be led to think that all through the picture she DOESN'T get it back, and lo and behold, bada bing, she does? It's like titleing a picture, "How Marty McFly Got Back to the Future." Isn't it more interesting to think he didn't have a chance?

" They saved Hitler's Brain" Ive never seen it but....with a title like that, it HAS to be bad !!!!

Captain Ablairica- I know what you mean by the 'black moment' in movies- I always take about the clichéd scene in romantic comedies where 'the truth' is finally revealed about on character (he was doing it for a bet, he's really poor, that's not his real name) and the other person runs away, with the deceptive one calling after them, usually leading to a scene cutting between each character on their own, in a car crying or eating themselves to death, with some song playing like Cry Baby by Janis Joplin playing in the background, before the big meeting up at the end! I guess that's why I hate most romantic comedies!

"Killer Klowns From Outer Space!" :eek2: :rofl:

Wrong Turn. It's so boring of a title, and movie.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold

:lol:

"Killer Klowns From Outer Space!" :eek2: :rofl:


OMG!! I remember seeing that one!!! Proof that screenwriters do drugs!!:rofl:

It's a TV movie, but She Lives is the worst title I've seen. It gives away the ending, so why even bother watching? I mean, besides the fact that it's cheesy 70s schlock.

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies


See the first monster musical!

A series of disappearances turns out to be linked to a maddened amusement arcade fortuneteller Madame Estrella who throws acid in the faces of the men who refuse her and then keeps this as disfigured monsters locked in the back room of her carnival booth. When teen lay-a-bout Jerry comes to have his fortune told he is placed in a hypnotic trance by the spinning disk and turned into a murderous zombie to serve the gypsy and her hunchbacked servant.

True, but knowing it all works out in the end can be equally entertaining.

With "Star Wars Episode III", most fans, without reading a single spoiler, knew the fate of 90% of the people in the film beforehand, and were able to focus more on how it occured rather than whether it would or not. Although, I still believe having Obi-Wan be the father of the twins would have been the greatest twist in movie history.



Speaking of "Star Wars", I always thought both "The Phantom Menace" and "Attack Of The Clones" were weak titles.

Ive never seen this..but , it MUST be bad :lol:

Ive never seen this..but , it MUST be bad :lol:


I've never seen it, but I remember seeing a movie called Surf Ninjas. A craptacular movie.

Ive never seen this..but , it MUST be bad :lol:It was, from what I read. That's why I want to see it.

It's from the same people, Troma, who gave us Toxic Avenger!!!!

My next screenplay: Drag Queens in a Vampire Western!!! :D

Isn't Desi Arnaz Jr on that? :D

Other movies titles:
Ishtar
To Wong Foo with love- (Patrick Swayze was in it dressed in drags)
Gone with the wind- what was really gone? Did the wind blew up his toupee away?

"Killer Klowns From Outer Space!" :eek2: :rofl:That movie was CLASSIC!! :clap:

Gone with the wind- what was really gone? Did the wind blew up his toupee away?To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar--DEFINITELY one of the worst titles out there.

Isn't Desi Arnaz Jr on that? :D


You bet. The only redeaming quality of it. :D

Cinderella man is by far the worst movie title ever! A man called cinderella? :lol: It should of been called russell crow got busted by the cops.

Mean Girls- It made me think it was a movie for little kids

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants- It makes the whole thing seem like it's about the pants when it's not really

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants- It makes the whole thing seem like it's about the pants when it's not really

Ooh I know what you mean before I saw the movie I was like I wonder if its about Pants that travel

a great sequel to the book for guys could be called the brotherhood of the traveling sneakers just an idea

Cinderella man is by far the worst movie title ever! A man called cinderella? :lol: It should of been called russell crow got busted by the cops.

When I first heard of it I thought it was similiar to a cinderella story. The real plot is real different from what it sounds like.

Another bad one is Must Love Dogs. It just didn't relate to the main idea of the movie.

Cinderella man is by far the worst movie title ever! A man called cinderella? :lol: It should of been called russell crow got busted by the cops.I'm thinking the movie's title was taken from a song by Rush called "Cinderella Man".

Or this could be: :cool:

Tom Kiefer of Cinderella: :rock: :guitar: :guitar: :rock:

Another bad one is Must Love Dogs. It just didn't relate to the main idea of the movie.

I've never seen the movie, but I've seen previews, and I think it's a brilliant title. It's about a woman who finds a date online, right? "Must Love Dogs" is something people often put under "requirements" for a date they find online.

Bad Mel Brooks titles -

Robin Hood - Men In Tights
Dracula - Dead and Loving It

A Day Without a Mexican
