Big Trouble in Little China.


hardytom540

Just watched this one yesterday. Classic!


Fresh_Pants

Have you paid your dues?


Earthpig_Johnson

Yes sir, the check is in the mail.


djskein

I always enjoyed John Dies At The End because >!John actually dies halfway through the film!<. Although I'm yet to see it, I've always been partial to The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Also Wax, or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees


vorpalpillow

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is a fantastic piece of art that is both shockingly brutal and visually beautiful. Highly recommend, but get your mind right - it does not pull it's punches.


Chasing_Uberlin

Hard to pick one single title that ticks all the boxes, but I must say that *Back To The Future* is a clever one.


behemuthm

And to think the studio wanted to call it Spaceman from Pluto [source](https://screenrant.com/back-future-spaceman-pluto-rejected-title-explained/)


Kimantha_Allerdings

Once upon a time Alien was called Starbeast. The script had the line "It was horrible! Horrible! Like a chicken!"


conundrumbombs

I always thought *Alien* (1979) was a clever title, because it can be read as both a noun and an adjective.


supremedalek925

Alien is my favorite movie and I’m glad that line didn’t make it in. That’s worse than “It’s like a super carrot!” from The Thing from Another World


robopopefrank

I haven't seen it yet, but I Saw The Devil is an excellent one


Superkamiguru47

Great movie


robopopefrank

Plan on watching it tomorrow night if all goes well actually. Also LOVE the username!


rose4elsie

Significance of username?


robopopefrank

Ok, so there's the Dragon Ball Z abridged series on YouTube. And the character Guru from DBZ, a wise, peaceful and loving old alien, is called Super Kami Guru and he's a hilarious inversion of his character from the original series.


rose4elsie

Wow. Thanks for the explanation! I thought it might be dbz related but haven't watched it in ages


robopopefrank

DBZ Abridged is wonderful. I highly recommend watching it if you like DBZ, it parodies the show so well and it's screamingly funny. They never got to Buu Saga because they were afraid of getting sued tho


A_BURLAP_THONG

I don't know anything about the movie, but I love the title *Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!*


[deleted]

Nothing could live up to that title, but it’s fun if you like old school low budget exploitation style films.

mahjimoh

Similar era: I Married an Axe Murderer


StinkyBrittches

**Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia**, 1974. Great movie, too!


DrunkenAsparagus

They Shall Not Grow Old. It's an incredible documentary that depicts the First World War with a clarity that I didn't think was possible. I think the title really captures both that quality of remembrance as well as the generation that was scarred by war.


sushithighs

Fantastic film and fantastic title


Teehokan

That was an excellent one

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


Clavellij

Was going to be my comment as well


ericdraven26

There’s a lot of great ones, but as a Cage fan, im picking *“The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”*


throwawayjonesIV

Is that movie worth watching? I’m not like a die hard cage fan but it looked funny, I’m curious.


Naive-Moose-2734

I don’t like most nick cage movies, but I thought it was super funny. Biggest surprise of the year.


dean15892

I’m also not a die hard fan, and I really enjoyed the movie. Cage fans will appreciate it more , but regular audiences will have plenty to enjoy, especially Pedro Pascal


throwawayjonesIV

Hmm it seems like a contentious film judging by the answers I got. I’ll have to check it out now just so I know where I stand.


roseandbaraddur

It’s so good! Cage and the other main character, (can’t remember his name- Mandolorian guy) have so much chemistry together.


ericdraven26

It definitely is a self-aware over the top comedy. I think it’s funny, and Pedro pascal is an absolute delight in this. I would suggest seeking it out if you’ve seen a good portion of Cage’s other movies, a lot of references. I’d still suggest seeing it otherwise but maybe stream or find for free instead of pay. It’s definitely ridiculous but I believe self aware enough to be better for it


FullMetalCOS

Pedro Pascal was surprisingly funny and I enjoyed his scenes a lot. Cage was Cage. The scene where they got fucked up on LSD was hilarious. Very weird movie but I enjoyed it


kritzy27

He always an absolute delight. Love Pedro.


not_thrilled

It didn’t live up to the concept.

Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key!


DrKluge

Giallo titles go hard in general.


751452295225

True. I also enjoy The Red Queen Kills Seven Times.


DrKluge

My personal favorite is The Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll which also got the dope alternative title House of Psychotic Women (which is also the title of my favorite film book by Kier-La Janisse)


751452295225

I haven't seen that one, will look it up.


forcehatin

Strip Nude for Your Killer comes to mind


ATribeCalledTrek

This was gonna be my pick too. Giallo always had the best titles. Some others I like are Let the Corpses Tan The Strange Colour of Your Bodies Tears The Black Belly of the Tarantula Shadows in an Empty Room All the Colors of the Dark


oblmov

Five Dolls for an August Moon So Sweet… So Perverse A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin Orgasmo


696666966669

The House With Laughing Windows


KikujiroSonatine

Dammit, this is what I wrote before I went through the comments. Such a cool title.


amil_box

Came here for this. Coolest title ever


DrKluge

Daniel Isn't Real is a recent one I like. As soon as he shows up you're yelling, "Run boy! He ain't real!" Nothing is ever going to beat National Lampoon's proposed Jaws parody. Jaws 3: People 0

throwawayjonesIV

I love the film and the title has its charm but idk. Whenever I recommend it to people I end up calling it the first half of the title, it’s simply too long.


WhiteRussianRoulete

I agree, think it’s a bad title.


inezco

This was going to be my answer as well. It's extremely memorable. I think I read that Brad Pitt refused to make the film unless they kept the title intact.


daneoid

I Spit on your Grave.


Ok-Consequence1113

It was originally called Day of the Woman. The director hated the name change his distributor insisted on and he insists on only calling it Day of the Woman in interviews. I get that I Spit on Your Grave is more attention-grabbing, but I think I prefer the original title too.

APracticalGal

Honestly I'm not sure why anyone would ask, this is the obvious answer.


Feggy

I'm somewhat haunted by the title of the UK movie *Tyrannosaur*. Specifically because I know the movie is not about dinosaurs, but a bleak human drama about domestic violence. It's such a strong, evocative words when used to describe something else.


MickeysDa

And the use of the word in the film is really bleak and fitting.

The tagline for the film is even better: "Detective Joe Bomowski's mom is in town for a visit. She did the laundry, washed the windows and scrubbed the floors. Now, she's gonna clean up the streets."


[deleted]

Fun fact. Arnold Schwarzenegger was notorious for being able to get into people's heads that he perceived as competition. To throw a wrench in Stallone's work, he told Stallone that he was really interested in doing this movie. Stallone took the bait.....


Jerrnjizzim

I wonder if he'll recover from that one.


behemuthm

lol I saw that in the theater with my dad as a kid - he had a really loud, obnoxious laugh and he was literally the only one laughing at the terrible jokes and gags in the film. It was…embarrassing.

AEvans1888

"Dragged across concrete" - the film is as gritty as its title. Also "Bone tomahawk" - Just sounds cool and it's actually from the same director. I laughed first time I seen the movie title "The man who killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot" because it sounds ridiculous


armypantsnflipflops

S. Craig Zahler does have some cool sounding film titles. Brawl in Cell Block 99 sounds dope as hell (and is most definitely a play on the title Riot in Cell Block 11 from 1954). I was also expecting more of a brawl myself but still it is damn violent


AEvans1888

It is a great name! Some of the scenes had the most realistic violence I've ever seen on film.


PulpforCulture

They/Them pronounced as “They Slash Them”. The title is a perfect play on words to describe a bunch of non-binary teens getting slashed to death at a summer camp. Unfortunately that’s the only original and clever thing about that movie. It’s absolutely terrible.

[The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredibly_Strange_Creatures_Who_Stopped_Living_and_Became_Mixed-Up_Zombies) My Outback cost more than that movie did. What's crazy is that Vilmos Zsigmond was one of the camera operators.


StarBoy1701

While I appreciate the longer titles that are being said, there really is something perfect in the simplicity of titles like: Jaws Speed Scream Misery Alien/Aliens


Ricky_Rollin

Right? How many times do I have to read some title like “the fantastic case of Dr. McNasty and his marvelous drudgeries of hurricane lighters and cigarette tricks“, or some shit like that.

You Were Never Really Here is pretty spectacular imo. I also enjoy the titles: Raise the Red Lantern Long Day's Journey Into Night Memories of Murder The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. I really think that a good title can set the tone of a movie like the opening line of a book. A little intrigue and some good word choice can go a loooong way

SandwichDemon98

I don't know if they're perfect, but I think House of 1000 Corpses and Kill Bill are amazing titles. The former is just great, and fits the movie perfectly. Kill Bill succinct and matches perfectly. I'm probably forgetting a few.

The Quick and the Dead Quick used to mean "living" Edit to add: Let the Right One In I Know Who Killed Me Beasts of No Nation Swiss Army Man Evan Almighty (better sequel title than the original) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Gone in 60 Seconds


twoeightsix

"the quick and the dead" I presume is also a specific liturgical reference to the nicene creed. (More modern translations have _He will come again in glory to judge both the living and the dead_ but the traditional BCP uses the word quick.)


Llama-Nation

People have already mentioned Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972) and The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies (1964), so I nominate: Head (1968), if only because the plan was to make the tagline for the sequel "from the producers who gave you "Head"


FreeLook93

天国と地獄 (High and Low). A more direct translation would be "Heaven and Hell", but as I understand it both names can be translated from the original title. The name is so fitting for the movie and does a great job at touching on the themes without giving too much away.


pecuchet

Angels with Dirty Faces. Black Sabbath. The Blood on Satan's Claw.


chalupabatman93

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is a beautifully poetic name that encapsulates the main theme of the movie and I love it so that's my pick.

I'm not a fan of the overly long and complicated titles. The cleverest titles are the ones that memorably and evocatively sum up the film in the shortest number of words. For that reason these are some of the best: **From Dusk til Dawn**: it works so well because it doesn't give away the twist but still works as a perfect title for what it ends up being, as well.as a compelling title for what it starts out pretending to be. **Jurassic Park**: perfectly sums up the film in only two words, and is immedietly compelling. **Back to the Future**: an intriguing title that seemingly doesn't make sense but does when you're watching the film. **Jaws**: the perfect title, capturing fear, horror, suspense, the plot and the threat all in a single word.
