The Most Poorly Titled Movies of All Time

I think the problem is you're overthinking the title ESB. It just osunds aweosme when you say it. Don't think about it too much. Or it could sound cheesy.
 
Dude! Sweet! Dude! Sweet! Dude! Sweet! ...DUDE!! ...SWEET!! ...DUDE!!! ...SWEET!!! ...DUDE!!!! ...SWEET!!!!

That is probably the dumbest scene in cinematic history, but god damn I was wetting myself with laughter.
 
God I leave meeting Sarcasm with Reason. :whatever:
Don't you mean you "love"?... Don't get yourself all tied up in a bunch... the whole thing was a joke, or did you not know that? :cwink:

You must feel some sort of grand self-aggrandizing comfort to challenge sarcasm with reason... which defeats the purpose of a sarcastic post anyways.

I always found Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium rather strange.
 
Agreed.

I'd say The Empire Strikes Back! is pretty bad if Lucas hadn't been going for the pulp feel

The Lost Boys is supposed to be a reference to same-titled group in Peter Pan, a refernce to never getting older. Plus, they're damned.

How about Frankenweenie?

Dude, Where's my Car?


A Clockwork Orange--great movie, but wtf?

A Clockwork Orange is based on a book. Clockwork being mechanical, Orange being organic.

That being said, a lot of the titles that you mentioned are even that bad. Most of them fit the context of each movie.
 
How is "The Empire Strikes Back" a bad title? :huh:

And Doctor Jones, you don't even have to "over think" it. There's nothing to think about. It makes sense. :huh:
 
Empire Strikes Back does exactly what it says on the tin. I'll describe what the film is about; The Empire Strikes Back :funny:
 
A Clockwork Orange is fully explained in the book.. not that it's worth the read.
 
well, the movie is already kinda stupid. In fact, i think the title is actually better than the movie.
 
Die Hard 2: Die Harder is such a lame title from a mainstream franchise. I mean, Die Hard? Cool title. Die Hard with a Vengeance? Cool and definitely creative. Live Free or Die Hard? It took a minute to accept the title, but damn, that's pretty good.

...Die Hard 2: Die Harder? Hmmm...ok.

This is a good example. It seems like stupid titles usually come from stupid movies, so it doesn't really matter. This is a great movie with a poor title.
 
Puns like 2 Fast 2 Furious, Madagascar Escape 2 Africa, Step up 2 the Streets

And of course... useless stuff like
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
or
X-men Origins: Wolverine
 
A Shot In The Dark.

It's not a bad title in and of itself (especially since the movie starts off with someone getting shot in the dark), but it's bad in hindsight when you consider what movie franchise it belongs to. It's the second Pink Panther movie.

''Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then?''
 
So are we going by poor sounding titles or titles that don't have anything to do with context?? :huh: By that argument, Fighting is fighting and a lot of these other titles would "fit."


If I had never heard of ESB or Star Wars, and someone said "Hey, let's go watch the Empire Strikes Back!" I'd think it was a comedy. *shrugs*


Eh.
 
Kiss Of The Spiderwoman with William Hurt and Raul Julia, there was no action WTF?
 
Cradle 2 the Grave.

As a kid I wondered...when did Cradle the grave come out?

Same here. The use of "2" instead of "to" makes it look like the title to a sequel. Or a Prince song.
 
A Shot In The Dark.

I think A Shot in the Dark would sound like a great film noir flick, but yeah, it's weird that it's the second Pink Panther movie and the only one that doesn't have 'Pink Panther' in its title.
