> [@mbh](#): > > … the title of the sequel, _Can I Do It . . 'Til I Need Glasses?_ was great. Funny - as a kid, I always winced at what I percieved was the hokiness of that title. It suggested to me that the flick would probably be just Oopsy-falling-over-the-fence Shenanigans Lite. YMMV.

My all-time, longtime favorite: _Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn._ Such a complex, intricate title, that by itself, _tells you absolutely nothing_ about the movie. I’ve never seen it. And to tell you the truth, I don’t really want to. Nothing could possibly live up to the giant I see in my imagination. (Although I always kinda picture it as being close to Patrick Swayze’s _Steel Dawn_. Which itself is an awesome movie title.) ---

> [@ftg](#): > > I’d go with _Beyond the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens_, myself. (Co-written by Roger Ebert!) A non-existent movie. _Beyond the Valley of the Dolls_ was written by Mr. Ebert. \* Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens\* was co-written by him. And speaking of Russ Meyer films with cool titles, there is also _Motorpsycho!_ and _Mudhoney_. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > _Plan 9 From Outer Space_ So there will be no surprise when I add my three all-time favorites: The Creeping Terror Dinosaurus! Them! Valley of Gwangi was also a good title but I always like those two better and it more as a movie. ---

_Reefer Madness_ is a great title, even if it isn’t exactly cool. _Shaving Ryan’s Privates_ is, apparently, a noted homoerotic work (haven’t seen it). _I Was Catherine The Great’s Stable Boy_ is my favourite title, though. j ---

> [@Dropo](#): > > A non-existent movie. _Beyond the Valley of the Dolls_ was written by Mr. Ebert. \* Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens\* was co-written by him. Weird, I double checked the title to make sure if there was a “-” or not. Somehow missed the other thing. ---

> [@Treppenwitz](#): > > _Shaving Ryan’s Privates_ is, apparently, a noted homoerotic work (haven’t seen it). I have to be very careful when talking about “Saving Private Ryan” because I have said that by mistake. I also remember a movie in the early days of VHS porn called “Dial-a-Dick” and also “Dickman & Throbbin.” ---
