Maybe not the best marketable title but "The Hudsucker Proxy" was one I can't say was a bad title for this great Coen Bros. satirical comedy.
It should have been "Laura Croft: The Cradle Will Fall."
I'm glad to see the list included two of the titles that I identified in its top ten. I would not, however, call Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia a bad movie title: I think it's great, and it certainly conveys the film's main plot device in a pithy and memorable fashion. Of course, that doesn't always work. Imagine if Casablanca had been titled Bring Me Those Letters of Transit! or if Citizen Kane had been called Finding "Rosebud".
Yes, that last one would have absolutely sleighed me. (Sorry
).
I can't believe someone else actually heard of Surf Nazis must Die.
I bought that movie just for the title. It wasn't worth it.

There are some really awful horror movie titles. Titles are often worse than the movie.
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
I Spit On Your Grave
Doctor Terror's House of Horrors
Twitch of the Death Nerve
Did anyone mention Octopussy?
But you have to blame Ian Fleming for that.
While I agree "Failure to Launch" may not be the most apt title ever, I am thinking the movie will be very cute. I love Sarah Jessica and Terry Bradshaw as Matthew McConaughey's dad is a riot...
And as bad as the title sounds, I am also loving the pics I have seen from Snakes on a Plane...Looks totally laughable and implausible. LOVE IT!
Perhaps, it is more misnamed rather than worst.
First, there was a book, 'The Wages of Fear" by a Frenchman. (The book was acclaimed for its Existential philosophy.)
Second, it was made into a French movie with the same title.
Third, it was made into movie by Hollywood under the
the god-awful title, "Sorcerer.," which sounds like a mystical magician.
It was a good movie starring Roy Scheider and concerned four men who will find freedom if they safely deliver a truckload of TNT through the roughest, alleged road in the world somewhere in a Latin American county.
I think they named the truck "Sorcerer" Blah!
I think the worst title was "The Firm"--I worked as a Secretary in a big firm and big law is nothing like those movies. Those men and women in the real world are brilliant in the large law firms.
People who encounter regular lwayers don't know that the brilliant ones are in the best firms. The idea of a top firm in a backwater as they showed in the movie is absurd.
The Worst Movie Title ever has to be 'The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies'. And thats a real film heres a link

Cocaine and Blue Eyes -- a TV movie from 1983 starring OJ Simpson as a private detective...
It should have been entitled "Brad Pitt's Achilles."

I didn't find the film that bad but it isn't flawless. I would think you'd be more put-off by the bloated epic "Alexander."
