Stupidest Thread Ever. My Opinion on a Movie Titles.

I happen to think that the best title EVER for a movie is:

Children of a Lesser God

How cool is THAT?

Yeah, well Brainsmasher-A Love Story has got it beat all to hell! :slight_smile:

Bright Lights, Big Titties is a classic.

I prefer that subtle homage to Dickens: A Tale of Two Titties.

Once I learned that there was a rose called an American Beauty, I dug the perfect marriage (:)) of title and material.

Sir Rhosis

I’ve always had a perverse liking for: The Englishman who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain.

I have to admit, I don’t really understand the title Children of a Lesser God. (I didn’t see it either, would that have helped?)

My vote goes to Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Children of a Lesser God is a cool movie, and has a very cool title.

Boondock Saints, The Blood of Heroes, and Six-String Samurai all have great titles, too.
Also, strangely enough, if I had a band I would name it after any one of those titles.

My vote to Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Faster Pussycat! Kill, Kill!

Lots of great titles mentioned here. Some other faves:

The Double Life of Veronique
Heathers
Schindler’s List (with a cool poster to boot)

But if I had to pick only one, I’d go with Wings of Desire. Wim Wenders rocks!

Texas Chain-Saw Massacre is, of course, the greatest movie title ever.

Not much of a movie, but I always thought The Laughing Target was a hell of a title.

–sublight.

Hmmmm…How about

Interview with the Vampire and Apocalypse Now?

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is pretty good. And most Ed Wood films have wonderful titles.

Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn. Best title ever.

It’s set in a school for the deaf and besides being a romance between a deaf woman and a hearing man, deals with the question of, are deaf people disabled in a hearing world, or do they possess an equal culture of their own. The title evokes this question beautifully, I think.

(It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen it; I hope I’m characterizing it correctly, Hec :slight_smile: )

As a random hijack, my mother (deaf herself) directed an award-winning stage version of Children of a Lesser God.

For the OP…

Not Without My Daughter. It’s a made for TV movie. It’s so evocative, so incredibly cheesy, that I love it.

Nobody’s mentioned “Booty Call” yet? You guys disappoint me.
“Psycho Beach Party” is also good.

And then there’s The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies – arguably one of the worst movies ever – but the title’s kinda cool.

It should have been Evil Dead 2: Attack of the Bones. :slight_smile:
