Top 10 Movies with Terrible Titles


client I just sold your five waterfront
Glengarry farms these are the big screen
masters of language disaster Oh read it
please
to Wong foo thanks for everything
julinho who would want to welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movies
with bad titles decision you did deal
with it you know face the fear and the
guilt finally see his name for this list
we’re not necessarily looking at the
best movies with bad titles but rather a
group of films with downright horrible
names brace yourself
all right I think there’s something
wrong with you – yeah is it dead guy any
number 10 I still know what you did last
summer I know what you did last summer
in 1997 the horror film I know what you
did last summer
/ – way at the box office and just one
year later producers decided to recycle
the formula by adding one extra word to
the title
while the plot of I still know what you
did last summer is supposed to focus on
the agonizing memories of jennifer Love
Hewitt’s character the sequel seemed to
highlight her boobs more than anything
else
moviegoers couldn’t necessarily remember
what the film was about but they
remembered Jay loves bangin bikini bod
and that my friends is how movies are
made
to number nine Glengarry Glen Ross
remember when we were when we were
selling Glen Ross farms this film was
named after two fictional real estate
developments in Chicago but sounds more
like a fictional US president what is
that Florida Glengarry islands Florida
bullshit Al Pacino and Alec Baldwin’s
star as screaming salesmen with nifty
catchphrases
however the cryptic title had moviegoers
searching for something a little more
alluring they always BBC closing always
be closing always be closing Glengarry
Glen Ross failed miserably at the box
office and the title seems more
appropriate for a Ron Burgundy warm-up
line or perhaps a replacement for Brian
fantana’s sex panther cologne it’s
called sex panther by Odeon it’s illegal
in nine countries yep it’s made with
bits of real panther number 8 dumb and
Dumberer When Harry Met Lloyd somebody
chipped my tooth what do you think I
feel soon Timmy in the fourth as the
sequel to the 1994 classic comedy Dumb
and Dumber this Troy Miller flick was
hilariously awful heard my Moulton phone
to make matters worse the filmmakers
attempt at a humorous title was perhaps
more disturbing than the film itself
dumb and Dumberer
went on to earn Golden Raspberry
nominations for worst screenplay worst
remake or sequel and worst screen couple
you do that oh yeah
she can dumb and Dumberer When Harry Met
Lloyd just imagine a group of actual
human beings once brainstormed and
decided this title was the perfect fit
you got a little both ways buddy number
seven the chumscrubber bitch
why did this 10 million dollar
box-office bomb make only 350 thousand
dollars maybe because Americans thought
the chumscrubber was a foreign movie
with subtitles I became the chumscrubber
when Airy Posen’s ensemble flick hit
theaters in 2005 the strange title
distracted from the central theme of
teenage drug use and not even the
magnetic power of Camille Bell could
save the awkwardly named film thank you
for keeping it interesting for me it’s
definitely not the usual thing decades
from now the chumscrubber will
unfortunately and incorrectly be most
likely identified with an early 21st
century cleaning device and this time I
will not be ignored
I am the chumscrubber Java scrubber
number six Martha Marcy May Marlene
Martha you look like a Marcy May
Marcy was my grandmother’s thing this
title sounds more like a quadruple word
score and Scrabble rather than a film
about a Catskill Mountains cult
that’s nothing to do with Martha while
critics praised the performances and
direction of Martha Marcy May Marlene
the overbearing name caused some movie
buffs to panic at the box office and
choose a more accessible film like Hugo
or the artist then again a multitude of
middle-aged movie goers simply confused
the title with someone looking for their
kids Marcy Marcy May where you going
seems like only the brave saw this movie
only the brave can I help you
Marlene Lewis what’s your last name Jane
number five the Bad Lieutenant port of
call New Orleans port of call still New
Orleans although a story about a
troubled New Orleans police sergeant
looks good on paper it’s never a good
idea to include the word bad in the
title of a Nicholas Cage film you all
right sometimes I have bad days
Hollywood executives failed to embrace
this concept in 2009 and even added a
subtitle more suitable for a Saturday
night adult foot they like these boots
don’t ya
Ayana despite the inclusion of Eva
Mendes and outstanding critic reviews
the bad lieutenant port of call New
Orleans made little money because most
consumers probably believed the film was
a PlayStation 3 video game shooting
again
what full soul still dancing number four
to Wong foo thanks for everything
Julie Newmar I’ll read it please to Wong
foo thanks for everything
Julie Newmar back in the pre-internet
days of 1995 films about road tripping
drag queens weren’t as popular and so
producers had to make some noise what do
you mean be a drag queen I am a drag oh
no no no you will simply put a boy in a
dress
unfortunately to Wong foo thanks for
everything Julie Newmar was possibly
more often confused with a personal ad
from a local newspaper the title
actually refers to an autographed photo
of the former Catwoman actress but a
world of ad D film fanatics stopped
reading at everything it’s chilly no
more Oh
we’re sorry so Stan she wears some may
have even mistakenly confused this
Patrick Swayze flick with softcore
pornography here’s our note for the
director to be Ben Kidron thanks for
everything
mojo holux number three Quantum of
Solace sure the Tierra project is the
best use of condoms time James Bond
himself also known as Daniel Craig
struggled to embrace the title of this
Marc Forster flick along with legions of
puzzled fans I answered your questions I
told you what you wanted to know about
quantum yes you did
while the famous action hero kicks
plenty of ass in Quantum of Solace the
title probably only had Star Trek fans
drooling and everybody else scratching
their heads what the hell is this what
exactly does the title mean you asked
that’s not important my orders are to
turn you around and put you on the first
plane back to London doesn’t matter the
producers hauled in over five hundred
million dollars laughed hysterically all
the way to the bank and swam together in
a pool of champagne you just cost me
quite a bit of money don’t you can’t put
a price on integrity
I can try number two 2 fast 2 furious
gosh
while the title of a movie sequel
traditionally includes the number 2 no
one had ever dreamed of adding a second
numeral when this cinematic explosion
dropped in 2003 right let the party
begin let’s go after the enormous
success of The Fast and the Furious
producers employed a classic play on
words to come up with the name and
hungry action fans ate it up
so what if 2 fast 2 furious sounded like
it was decided over lunch the
franchise’s second installment earned
over 200 million dollars faster than
Hollywood execs could say I’ll have a
California roll three bags and one car
it was fast and most agreed that it was
furious it was too fast too furious
before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions murder her heart
and desire is that is that gonna help
the Huckabee’s image yes does it help me
yes it’s it’s really by the way my name
is G pronounced Gigli arounds it really
is Ivor system yeah my name khloe’s
pressed Jones
I’ll go about precious give you Calle
number one the hottie and the Nottie in
order to gain access to the hotter the
naughty must be appeased this romantic
comedy is a true American treasure at
least in the sense that it’s a buried
American treasure that nobody’s ever
seen Gina’s a lot of problems with hair
removal I have sensitive skin Oh Paris
Hilton and Joel David Moore star in a
classic story of unrequited love and
most agree that it’s cutesy title likely
came from a twelve-year-old girl they
thinks he can fix up the naughty it
wouldn’t come as a surprise if snobby
cinephiles refused to acknowledge Tom
putnams film by its given name while
others seems simply afraid of the
cinematic monster returning to
conversation I know I feel the same way
yeah the hottie and the Nottie may
ultimately become a cult favorite
but this cheap ticket to Paris is
ultimately lost in translation I think
that a life without orgasms as like a
world without flower

title confused angered or annoyed you
