bazooka Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 See this article by Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune. Blazing Saddles is one of my favorites.
Farin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Two cool ones were already mentioned: "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (of course ) and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" also how about "Plan 9 from Outer Space"?
bazooka Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Posted February 23, 2011 ... while it is not a pressing cinematic question, it is a fun one ...The trick with this parlor game is to separate one's adoration for a given picture from the relative aptness, poetic beauty or comic rightness of its title ... I don't consider any of these to be the "greatest", but, to get things rolling, here's a haphazard list of what I think are some effective movie titles: American Graffiti Analyze This Beach Blanket Bingo Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice Carnal Knowledge Close Encounters of the Third Kind D.O.A. Dude, Where's My Car? Dumb And Dumber The Endless Summer A Fish Called Wanda The Girl Can't Help It Gone Baby Gone Honey, I Shrunk the Kids House of Flying Daggers How the West Was Won I Bury The Living An Inconvenient Truth The Nightmare Before Christmas A Nightmare on Elm Street Rebel Without a Cause Revenge of the Nerds The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming Take The Money and Run This Island Earth The Usual Suspects The Year of Living Dangerously Zardoz [smaller] Note: This is not my endorsement as to the cinematic merits of any of these motion pictures. They've just got 'catchy' titles.[/smaller]

Steel2Velvet Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I went to see The Unbearable Lightness Of Being in the theater, based soley upon the film's title. Had never heard of its young star before, Daniel Day Lewis.

Daniel Day is one of my favorite star and atleast 7 times i watched "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being" because it really deserves that views!
night2day Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 oh my! Speaking of daniel day lewis, i thought he played the part of the butcher in "Gangs of NY" so good that i think he WAS the butcher! Good movie title hmm how about "The Wizard of Oz?"
