Worst Film Title of All-Time

Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad.

You are wrong, OP. What about The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies? What about anything with the subtitle: Electric Boogaloo?

What about that? What about that?

Snakes on a Plane, muthafucka.

I love the subtitle: “A private detective with a name as tough (i.e. Polish?) as she is.”

Any of those loathesome pseudo-risque titles like "Meet the Fockers" or that stupid "Hudsucker" thing, whatever it was. You can tell from the title how stupid the movie is going to be and how dumb the audience it's aiming for.

I'd include "Schit's Creek" but that was a TV show, apparently.

I think "V.I." was a popular book that they hoped would be a franchise (nope). I think the worst are these generic ones that you can tell they shopped to focus groups. Like "Just Mercy". jesus, it could be about anything. "The name's Mercy? Mercy what?" "Just Mercy."

In the old days, meaning the 80s, everytime one cheap studio would make a bad film, the script had the name "The Quest" to lure the actors in and then it would be changed to "Sorority Girls From Space" or whatever. I am talking about Cannon, of course. An actor busted them in an interview.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama! Like that one, R6?

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?

Baby Driver

Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?

Damn, R9 beat me! (Seriously, everything about that title is terrible).

Is OP giving herself WWs? It’s not even a good example of a bad title.

“Bram Stocker’s Dracula”

The fuck he is — he’s just some dead Irishman. Dracula’s Vlad Tepes Dragul.

The Man Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World. So dumb.

Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?

Warning!!! Pedophile Released

Go Go Second Time Virgin

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats

What do you have against Polish women's names, OP?

Trog

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

I never learned the title, but it’s got like three or four female names that all start with the letter “M.” Melinda Marcy May Michaela or something? And the there was Vicki Christina Barcelona or some other string of names that made no sense.

Come on, "Faster, Pussycat.." is classic. I always hated "Marie: A True Story" and the noble like far more.

We Bought A Zoo

That one about being killed by the coward Jesse James, but there’s more to the title than that?

The Johnny Depp/Tim Burton turd “Dark Shadows”

R24 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

R26 Yeah, that one, fit that on a marquee!

[quote]Come on, "Faster, Pussycat.." is classic.

The movie may be a classic, but the title is ridiculous.

Honey I blew up the kid

Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire was unfortunate, they should have negotiated with the other movie named Push and gotten them to name their movies something else, since Push was a known literary entity.

The full title of Doctor Strangelove is rather awkward especially with the “how:” added.

Wrong, R2. Anything with Electric Boogaloo in the title is awesome.

What was this movie even about? I remember seeing it in the video store all the time as a kid.

Mortdecai. Wouldn’t it be Mordecai or Mortecai?

We Need to Talk About Kevin

Love Actually.

No Country for Old Men

R37 that title was directly from the novel and is an allegory

The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom

Gigli

Throw Momma from the Train

I would say that the wurst title was Sausage Party....oh wait, sorry....

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead

Eat Drink Man Woman

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World

"John Goldfarb, Please Come Home" (1965), which is also the worst movie I've ever seen.

Actually in Hollywood there is one movie title that was so bad, so meaningless, that it really is supposed to have helped tank the movie -- Reindeer Games.

Albert Nobbs

Scent of a Woman

Birdman or the Unintelligent dignity of virtue or whatever stupid horseshit that was.

Pale imitation of a far superior Altman movie with a better title. Brewster McCloud.

The Damned Don't Cry! is either a really bad title or a really good one.

R48 The film was screened to test audiences who had a mixed response. This resulted in additional editing and some scenes being re-shot; the release date was pushed back from Christmas 1999 to February 2000. In October 2007, Charlize Theron said in an interview in Esquire magazine that "Reindeer Games" was her least favorite of all her films. She said: "That was a bad, bad, bad movie. But I got to work with John Frankenheimer. I wasn't lying to myself - that's why I did it."

Not only was the title and actual movie bad, but it was a gritty Christmas time heist thriller released in late February. Also, Ben Affleck says “PEE-can pie” too many times. How it made $32 million I’ll never know.

The Bed Sitting Room

(At least we were spared the sequel: The Chair Standing Hallway.)

Who is Harry Kellerman and why is he saying all those terrible things about me?

Has Anybody Seen My Pants?

Long titles are always problematic

My personal favorite: “The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies”

Cowboys vs. Aliens

*batteries not included

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Dawson's 50 Load Weekend

I remember when Baby Driver was announced, I thought it was a stupid title. Then when I saw the trailer and realized his name was Baby, I thought it was even worse.

Then I saw the movie and I didn't give a fuck what it was called because it was so damn good.

1. Hudsucker Proxy is a fantastic film.

2. Unbearable Lightness of Being (based on a book) is a beautiful title.

3. Y'all iz ignant.

Her Smell

I Love Trouble---and almost all Nancy Meyers titles are terrible and cheesy

Almost all Nancy Meyers FILMS are terrible and cheesy.

R64 Touche

R62 for the win. Some of the titles elsewhere on here are weird or overly long, but potentially memorable. Her Smell, on the other hand, is genuinely off-putting. And not just to gays.

[quote]Mortdecai. Wouldn’t it be Mordecai or Mortecai?

This one really bugged me too.

Heller in Pink Tights

Octopussy

It's not out yet but the sequel to Tom Hardy's VENOM is VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE.

Drop Dead Fred

One Tough Bastard

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

What’s a V. I.? Vagina Investigator?

The Five-Year Engagement, sounds insufferably dull!

Freddy Got Fingered

I’ll Do Anything

Definitely, Maybe

How Do You Know

Dude, Where's My Car?

Your Sister’s Sister, why does Emily Blunt pick such loser titles!?

I always thought As Good As It Gets was a terrible title, especially knowing it had been changed from Old Friends

Paul Blart : Mall Cop

R80, give the title Old Friends to a movie during the 1990s, and everyone would assume it’s another Lemmon/Matthau pairing. I can see why that title was nixed.

Hot Dog: The Movie

Someone I Touched (80s TVM about the spread of a venereal disease.)

"The Prince of Tides". I FUCKING DETEST THAT PIECE OF SHIT.
