i'm sure i'm not the only one who has thought this. You ever watch a movie, and after seeing it you think, "Man, this name would have fit the movie so much better??" Some movie titles are perfect, but others i often say to myself that they could have done so much better. If you have any examples, please share. Thanks! Looking forward to hearing them!

I always wondered why Blue Monkey was called Blue Monkey...it's about a giant killer insect living below a hospital...I think I even read the original title was going to be Green Monkey.

Again with this movie... Troll 2 should have been called the original title that it went under which was Goblins.

You can't call a movie Troll 2 and have it not include trolls.

Goblins just doesn't have the same ring.

I still don't get the title of Troma's Terror Firmer, great film, awful title...they more than made up for it with Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead...now that's a brilliant title.

The Nostril Picker...yes the lead does some nose digging, but enough to warrant the title? I guess "Dirty Pervert Who Gains The Power To Turn Himself Into A Teenage Girl" was too long.

When Intruder went to DVD, they should have stuck with its original title, Night Crew: The Final Checkout. Intruder is too generic.

I prefer Night Crew too, but I've always known Intruder as Intruder way back to its VHS days.

"Dude Where's My Car" should have been called "Dude i Want My Eight bucks Back", or for those who waited for it to come to basic cable, (Everyone), "Dude Where's My Remote?" ;)

Monster Ball i always thought was an odd name to call a movie, & didn't have anything to do with the movie but i guess it was an attention getter.
Love is Blind might have been more fitting.

Woodchipper Massacre- very misleading title. I know I wasn't the only one who thought it was going to be about people getting fed into a woodchipper. And having seen the director's previous film Cannibal Campout which was a gore-fest, I kinda assumed(which you should never do) that he would one-up it.

Turns out it was a comedy, that had a similar plot to Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead years before that movie even came out. There is a woodchipper...just no massacre.

"A Few Good Men", "You Can't Handle The Truth!" A few good men's a great title too though, so i ain't complaining much. Just saying, either would have been perfect.

I would have retitled Titanic- "Cure For Insomnia"
