**Naked Lunch**

Although, having seen it, I can say that there are two things wrong with that title.

What a phenomenally stupid title! They could have doubled their box office gross if they had instead titled it **Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers _From Mars_**. Now THAT’S a title.

Just reading the title of this thread, **Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter** was the first thing that came to mind.

**Captain Supermarket**. Turned out it was the Japanese title for **Army of Darkness**. I’d never seen it before, so that’s a good thing.

**Life is Cheap… but Toilet Paper is Expensive**

**Deathrow Gameshow**

**Samurai Fiction**

**Former Child Star**

**Goliath and the Cheerleaders**

**Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads** (The video store had this in the horror section. It’s actually one of Spike Lee’s early (non-horror) films)

**Nezi: The Night of the Crazy Screws**

**Slugs, Muerte Viscosa**

**Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things**

**Pickled Punk**

**Bullet Ballet**

Death to Smoochy - I heard it sucked really bad, but it’s still a great title  
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind  
Night of the Creeps  
Dead Man Walking  
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb  
Hoop Dreams  
Reservoir Dogs  
King Gimp  
Romper Stomper  
Being John Malkovich  
The Gods Must Be Crazy  
Throw Momma from the Train  
The Hudsucker Proxy  
10 Violent Women (Easily one of the worst movies you’ll ever see. I was on a B-movie kick at the time and I found a reference to this in one of those Leonard Maltin books)

Man Bites Dog - it’s one of those films that plenty of people talk about, few have seen and fewer own.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I love this movie.

The Terror of Tiny Town. Knowing that it has an all-midget cast makes me want to see it even more.

Biker Chicks From Zombie Town

Pretty much any Russ Meyer movie!  
The most boring film title I’ve ever heard of was The Shipping News. Kevin Spacey’s my hero, it got loads of Oscars, but the title sounds so boring I still haven’t brought myself to see it.
