It could be a great movie for all I know, but _The Hudsucker Proxy_ has got to win a prize for incomprehensible title. ---

It’s an awesome movie. Yeah, the title is weird, but it makes sense (after you’ve seen the movie). ---

It’s hard to be objective about it at this point but _Star Wars_ itself is a pretty uninspiring name. What could you say about the movie based on its title? It’s a sci-fi war movie? Or maybe a Hollywood interpersonal drama? No hint of laser swords or empires or anything one might call iconic about the series in the name itself. Also, it’s off topic but I would like to nominate “Destiny 2” as honorary worst video game title. Not only does “Destiny” have nothing to do with running around shooting aliens or possess any actual plot relevance, the “2” elevates it to the sublime. Destiny. A singular inevitable fate. The predetermined course of events that one cannot escape. Two. ---

“Because Of Winn-Dixie” is a classic children’s book, that was made into a movie. ---
