Long Movie Titles, Which, If You Said Them At The Box Office......

…would probably piss some people off.

My entry: The Effect of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds

“Two adults for…” (get the picture?) :smiley:

So can you beat that one?

I’ll throw this one in just for laughs (and it has nothing to do with the OP), and I hope I can do the southern accent justice with coding…

“We’d lahk two A-dults for The Unbearable Laht-ness a’ Bein’, please.”

Okay, hold it. Y’all know I call the South my home and I love it dearly, but that just struck me as very funny, to hear it said that way, especially since my date and I had been out to eat and I’d had a few beers. (Probably wouldn’t have struck me as funny otherwise). Then also there’s the Freudian aspect of the sincerety in the guy’s voice and the irony which I guess only I sensed.

Long story short, I pissed my date off because I kept giggling, and I finally had to excuse myself and went to the Men’s to have a good laugh.

There. A true confession from me who was an asshole then, and might be again, who knows? But never again in a movie theater, I promise! :smiley:

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain
The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom
(This one was Made-for-T.V. so there was never a need to say it at the box office but I thought it was worth mentioning)
.

3

The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum at Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (1967).

Damn good movie; usually billed as Marat/Sade.

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

Please send my prize to… :smiley:

5

I had a hard enough time with “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” or whatever it was.

6

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea.

7

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover
Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

Man, I sure hope no one beats that Marat/Sade one. That’s a monster.

8

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?

9

It must have been fun to call the theater to ask about Sweet Sweetback’s Baad Asssss Song (1971). I’m picturing Barbara Billingsley talking jive on the other end of the line.

Some recent ones:
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

11

Yay! I get to be the first to post this one:

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes

12

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings

I think Marat/Sade has the distinction of the longest title without an ‘or’ being stuck in the middle.

13

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

Not the longest, but impressive and also one of the weirdest.

14

As soon as I saw this thread, I thought to myself, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies, of course!

15

Gigli?

Okay, it’s not long, but it definitely annoys.

16

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

17

It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

or

The Retun of the Mad Mad Mad Mad World Part II

“One ticket for Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), please. Do you give student discounts?”

I suspect that they’d be annoyed if you asked to see “Swept Away… by an unusual destiny in the blue sea of August”, especially if you delivered the ellipses as if it were a long pause.
