[ptmusic]

"The Woman, The Watch, and Everything" - anyone ever heard of it?

[stabn]

"The sisterhood of the traveling pants".

Actually, there have been titles that are far worse...

Good one! A banner I saw on that page for a new Jeanine Garofalo film is an also-ran: "Nadine In Dateland."

Henry and Joon.

[The Goober]

A lot of these are just long titles.

I vote for "Face/Off". I never actually saw it, and part of the reason is that its name is so retarded.

"Heather And Puggly Drop A Deuce"

Easily worst title ever. Check out this and other awesome titles from the Debbie Rochon catalog here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004193/

Phone booth! An action drama in the most exciting setting ever; inside an ordinary PHONE BOOTH!!

I only ended up seeing this shitty movie, with its idiotic plot because it was shown on an airplane. Plot holes galore.

-spoilers-

He is stuck in the phone booth and framed for shooting a prostitute just outside that is really shot by a sniper from afar, and a gun is placed in the booth to complete the set up. Police obviously would never look at the direction of the bullet, or the fact that it's not a handgun bullet. The hero is idiotic aswell.

Anyways.. shitty title.

[rusellmj]

Wow, that's a greatest hits list in and of itself. I think my favorite was Scrotal Revenge.

Or maybe Henry and June, about Henry Miller and his wife and Anais Nin.

Either way, I fail to see the awfulness.

How can the worst movie title make me laugh so much....christ! she's been in 10 movies in 2005! ok, so she played stepmother in one and mulva in another.

I'm pretty sure the one time i saw that movie it was 1pm and I had been up for 48 hours consuming various drugs. I thought it was pretty good.

Phone Booth wasn't a bad movie (I don't think the cops are going to do an autopsy and crimescene recreation while there's obviously an armed man across the street), and that's coming from a guy who has no patience for bad movies.

Worst titles that come to mind, just off the top of my head:

Reservoir Dogs
Romancing the Stone
Rounders

To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday.

Now, if Jillian Barberie had starred in it, this could have been the worst film of all time instead of just about the worst film title ever.

these suck. There's way worse titles than listed here I just can't think of them at the moment. Think of the times you saw a preview or ad for a movie and you couldn't even consider uttering the words to a 16 yr old cashier at the movie theater.

[AngryCola]

I've seen so many bad movies, it's sad.

Leonard Part 6 is the worst title I can think of.

Plan 9 from Outer Space was my second choice.

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

"I've seen movies with groove back getting, but that was the groove back gettingest movie I've ever seen."

(From the list of Top Ten Things Overheard Outside "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" (http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/top_ten/archive/ls_topten_archive1998/ls_topten_archive_19980814.shtml))

Sea Biscuit

I know that was the horse's real name, but they still could have named the movie something else. It wasn't a bad flick either, but still semi-embarassing when your friends ask what you rented and you try to look serious saying, "Sea Biscuit."

OK, I was waiting to see if anyone else would post this, but this is clearly the worst movie title I've ever seen. Note that I'm not endorsing any of the messages or thoughts of this title:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0274518/

It's a short film (26 minutes), and I've never seen it. It just comes up a lot in the "Worst Title" threads I've seen on other boards.

[drewjustdrew]

The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon (http://imdb.com/title/tt0142306/)

Does this count, even though it was made for TV?

[GrooveNougat]

Good call. I was going to suggest it if you hadn't already.

terrible title.

I got the two conflated.

I think giving a movie the character's names is the height of lack of imagination.

It's even worse when the poster is a big close up of them sort of shaking the head kind of laugh, or the overdone Julia Roberts kind of hyper-laugh. About...well, nothing maybe. You don't know, and they haven't done a thing to sell you on caring. Get a title that tells you nothing along with a print ad/poster that tells you nothing, and to me it's a warning that the producers are afraid of their movie.

This is sometimes further carried forward with a trailer that tells you nothing -- lots of scenes of laughing and people just being wonderful, a few quick snatches of dialogue that are hard to interpret, and then a freeze frame on the actor.

It's a good title, too.

The funny thing is, half the titles here are actually GOOD titles. Not just indifferent or less than ideal -- but actually good.

People just don't like the movie or the star or the subject sometimes and ascribe it to the title.

Ok, some of the titles here are good. But I'm going to defend my choice for Worst Ever: "The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything" ???? C'mon!

- Titles that list things are generally bad (this includes album titles). It's like the creator just couldn't decide what was more important or more catchy. I've sat in rooms where producers were arguing/working on titles, and used a list as a lame compromise between opposing ideas.

- Starting the title with "The Girl" is particularly weak. Everyone knows that screenplays have to include "The Girl" when she is not the main character: it is such a basic tenet of scripts that it has been a joke in sketches.

- "Gold" is a pathetic attempt at alliteration and visual imagery. This is third grade poetry at best.

- "Everything" just caps it. Note that this movie was NOT a spoof whereby including "Everything" in the title might a funny over-the-top joke.

I suppose it is a good title in that it is sooooo bad, if that's what you mean. But I don't think that's what you mean.

"Face/Off" and "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" are actually very CLEVER movie titles, IMHO.

My least favorite movie titles: "Beaches" and "Fried Green Tomatoes". Because when my wife says, "Let's watch, 'Beaches,'" or, "Hey honey, let's watch 'Fried Green Tomatoes,'" I get sick to my stomach.
