I prefer movie titles that reveal immediately in which town it’s set, such as
Hell Comes to Frogtown
or
Chopper Chicks in Zombietown
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, and Mondo Trasho are favorites of mine.
Eating Raoul
Big Trouble in Little China
The Hudsucker Proxy
An American Werewolf in London
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid
A Fish Called Wanda
Cannibal: The Musical
which leads me directly to:
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, which gets bonus points for making Jack Valenti and the Motion Picture Board of America look like a bunch of knobs.
- Silence of the Lambs*
Cool damn title. GREAT movie, at least in my opinion.
- Steel Magnolias*
Loved it. Live(d) it.

Talk about a tear-jerker. Ok…let’s not.
Ok! Two of the three are all chick flicks!!! I can’t help it! I love these movies.
And yes, I love this movie title, too, only I read the book and never saw the movie:
They Only Shoot Horses, Don’t They?
Totally cool title.
Awesome book.
The title Children of…rocks, IMO. 
Thought it was going to be this huge epic thing, but anyways.
Also…
Ssssssssssssssssssss okay that’s prolly too many s’s, but better too many than too few. Imagine when it was out in theatres?
“Dad, I’m gonna take the car out with my girlfriend to see a movie and then perhaps go all the way. But perhaps I’ve said too much.”
“I don’t know, son, someone needs to feed your spinster aunt whom we keep locked up in the basement, and your mother and I want to go out. What movie did you have in mind?”
“Sssssssssss.”
[Dad, believing his son has turned into a snake creature, screams and leaps out thirty story window, leaving son free for the night]
What about Surf Nazis Must Die! That’s a good one.
Or there’s Manos: The Hands of Fate. Heh, that’s a classic.
2nd vote for ‘Hell comes to frog town’
‘The Music of Chance’, cool title, very cool movie.
And, SilkyThreat, it’s ,‘They shoot horses, don’t they?’
“I Dismember Mama” gets my vote, hehehe…
Don’t be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood was a pretty stupid movie title. Too long also.
You Can’t Cheat An Honest Man
The Santa Clause
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
and I’ll include Moonstruck simply for the reason that it kept John Patrick Shanley’s original title, rather than give in to Cher’s desire to call the movie, Moonglow.
You are quite correct. I have no idea why I added the word “only”.
Couldn’t have been the fourth glass of wine.
Nah…must have been something else.
How about Will Heronimous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Hump and Find True Happiness?, at the time, the longest movie title ever. An early x-rated pic and not a very good one.
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? gets my vote for most evocative title.
I had said A Clockwork Orange, but I guess my post was somehow misplaced during the great hacker invasion. Ah well.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
How could anybody not want to see a movie with such a title?
Just to point out that the last three movie titles mentioned each contain fruit.
Toss in my vote for the cheesy Tori Spelling TV movie Mother May I Sleep with Danger?.
I really like Dream for an Insomniac. It’s a decent movie, too. And I’ll second A Clockwork Orange.
Isn’t a tomato a vegetable?
Jus’ wunnerin’.
My vote goes to “I spit on your grave” but “Manos: the hands of Fate” is also good, as is “Monolith Monsters”, a movie where giant rocks try to take over the earth. I’m really not kidding.
b.
The tomato is a fruit.
Ever try Fried Green Tomatoes?
