Movies With The Best/Worst Taglines IYO

Best - Predator 2

He’s in town with a few days to kill

Memorable, to the point and a good pun.

Worst - Pacific Rim: Uprising

Rise Up

You literally just took the movie subtitle and reversed it, sheer laziness

Best:

In space nobody can hear you scream.

I don’t have to tell you the movie title because you already know the movie title.

Best:

Flipper (the 1996 remake with Paul Hogan)

It’s finally safe to go back in the water.

The Fly: “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”

Jaws 2: “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water …”

Worst:

X-men - Trust a few. Fear the rest. <—No, that’s not the theme of the movie at all.

Best:

Psycho Goreman - Big Psycho. Little Girl. <—this works so well when you see the movie

A bad one:

Lost in Space — “Get lost”

Naked Gun: If you see only one movie this year…you need to get out more!

Worst:
It’s Pat: “A Comedy That Proves Love Is a Many-Gendered Thing”

Worst:

Cool As Ice: “When a girl has a heart of stone, there’s only one way to melt it. Just add ice.”

But it lets me link to this:

The Art Of “Cool As Ice” Yes, the Vanilla Ice movie. Yes, seriously.

It’s no coincidence that two years later, the cinematographer became Spielberg’s cinematographer.

You’ll believe a man can fly

Lost in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas.

I believe it is incumbent upon me to remind you all of the tagline for (and possibly best part of) killer elevator movie The Lift: “Take the stairs! Take the stairs! For god’s sake, take the stairs!”

“A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…”

House (a 1985 horror movie about a haunted house):
Ding dong. You’re dead.

“I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.”

I thought the tagline for Sideways was pretty bad:

In search of wine. In search of women. In search of themselves.

A much better tagline would have been something about drinking f**cking merlot.

Alien had a great tagline.

Too bad the movie never came within a light-year of measuring up to it.

Seriously? I saw it in the theater when it first came out, and the screams and shrieks of the audience (mine included) made my ears ring and wish for the vacuum of space! Awesome flick.

Well, I have often expressed my distaste for the film. It didn’t scare me one bit (I don’t get scared by lights on a screen) and the utter stupidity of the crew only pissed me off. Cheap manipulation and an idiot plot. My reaction to each set piece was “Why the hell.are they doing that?” The answer, of course, was to scare the audience, not for any logical story or character reason.

I saw it in a theater when it came out, and I don’t recall anyone screaming

But it did have a great tagline.
