The worst movie titles of all time

Message Bookmarked

And not those "so bad it's good ones, either." I'll start with a couple from Ron Howard:

"Cinderella Man" and
"A Beautiful Mind," one of the worst movie titles in history, to say nothing of the movie.

― antexit (antexit), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

That "Spotless Mind" mind crap

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

"Free Willy" surely so very misleading no?!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Slap Her, She's French. Or does that qualify as being so bad it's good?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

As soon as the Man-Thing movie comes out, it'll jump to the top 5.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Archel, i think that's perfectly acceptable!!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

A river runs through it

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer"

― j c (j c), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Love Actually

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Fahrenheit 911

― robster (robster), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

We've done this before and I am still sticking with "Dude, where's my car"

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Slap Her, She's French belong on the classic titles thread

i vote for The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, White Men Can't Jump and Two Fast Too Furious (or whatever it was)

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

what's that one about the 'black peoples airline' called?

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

'Star Wars Episode 4: Part One: Introducing the Subplots: Revenge of the Maestheugar' or whatever.

― ENRG, Friday, 6 August 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

White Men Can't Jump is a brilliant title!

Anything with [person's name]'s before the proper title.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

it is inaccurate and racialist, boooooooooooooooooo

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything with a comma.

― Huck, Friday, 6 August 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, But Came Down a Mountain?

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, Ballistic: Ecks VS. Sever still beats all.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Especially since you can tell from the commercial that Ecks and Sever eventually wind up having sex.

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything with the words "naked", "nurses" and "outer space" anywhere in the title.

― Huck, Friday, 6 August 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead

Isn't there also a movie called I have Heard the Mermaids Singing? Someone should ban references to that poem, on grounds of art preservation.

― Harold Media (kenan), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes. Unfortunately Guy Pearce and Helena Bonham Carter are in it.

That one's called Batman Begins, right? Equally horrific, but the old one sounds like the name of a Harlequin novel.

There's a very fertile vein of bad movie titles in "sequels whose titles make no rhetorical sense":

Die Hard With A Vengeance
Analyse That

― antexit (antexit), Friday, 6 August 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Did they ever make a porn take-off called Analyse These!?

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 6 August 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I prefer Analyze Tits.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 August 2004 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

If by "seen," you mean "watched 10 minutes of in a dingy hotel room before collapsing into an uneasily shameful post-orgasmic slumber," then yes.

I love the adjective "dingy" because I always mistake it for the noun at first. You saw it on a dingy?!

Jon Cryer was in it, and it's The Pompatus Of Love. I haven't seen it but I think they actually discuss the phrase in the ad. ugh.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 6 August 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

The worst ones are probably all those interchangeable bullock/lopez/ryan romantic comdedy ones though. Who can ever remember which one is which? At least Swimfan is memorable.

There's Something about Mary is a great title! It reminds me of old screwball comedies (surely this was the intention) like The Lady Eve. Or Clara Bow's It for that matter....

― ||amateur!st|| (amateurist), Friday, 6 August 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

There was some review of that movie, though, that says the title is a cop-out, since the film never really lets you know what's so great about Mary except for the fact that she looks like Cameron Diaz.

after all, no one shows up in the middle of it to say (via intertitle), "i know what 'it' is: the slight upturn of clara bow's left eyebrow! you can all go home now folks."

...I think every Merchant-Ivory film should be regarded as part of a series of films, much like the Young and Dangerous triad pics from Hong Kong, which in the end started to really drift around in terms of character but retained the Y&D title, but then affixed the appropriate number to the end of the title. Therefore, all Merchant-Ivory films should be called Repressed Limeys Finally Give It Up Sweet-Like. I think TROTD would be number 9 in the series.

Their charm, good looks and fast-talking have carried Sol and his friends through life, but his luck may have just run out. After a string of bad luck leaves him facing eviction, a wrecked car and the threat of actually having to get off his butt to work for a living, Sol finally figures out what the meaning of life is. He is in love with his best friend Chloe. She's beautiful, smart and is the only one who doesn't fall for his "game"! Now he's on a quest to win her heart. Whether you're crude, lewd or just a slacker dude it's... SOL GOODE!

It was. Seems like there could have been something in the middle they could've gone with.

Hav Plenty
The Tao of Steve
The Pope Must Diet (yes, I know...)

Also, any non-sequel with a colon in the title.

i was thinking about how bad a title "almost famous" was, because was anyone in that film primarily concerned with their level of fame?

you're talking about the movie with a rock band getting profiled by Rolling Stone, right? seems like fame plays a slight role there.

yeah but the movie was all about the kid who just wanted to be a dumb music critic and kate hudson who just wanted to move to france or some shit.

well, both Kate Hudson and the kid were hangers-on swept up in the rise to fame of a shitty rock band--it's not a great title, but in no way is it unrelated to the story.

not unrelated but p unimportant in a movie about two dumb kids having a bunch of dumb feelings about things unrelated to it (i really hate this movie)

Think you saw a different movie than I did

― President Keyes, Saturday, 25 February 2012 16:24 (fourteen years ago)

well they were both probably dumb

i think the deal w/ the title is that it implies the band in question never quite makes the transition to megastar status, therefore the story of the band pretty much ends with the movie. this sorta allows the movie to be about the kids and how their connection to the band is just a chapter in their lives instead of the reverse.

Stillwater was also a terrible name for a band.

Regarding Henry still wins this.
