Non-Horror Films with Excellent Horror Titles

I didn't find a previous thread, but if one exists, I am sorry (obligatory disclaimer for the flaming that may follow).

What are some titles of movies that you can think of that have nothing to do with the Horror genre although they would make a great title for a horror film?

Pieces of April
The Remains of the Day
The Cutting Edge

SORCERER - a remake of the great French classic Wages of Fear, but since it was "from the director of The Exorcist!" this title was probably designed to mislead people into thinking it would be a similar foray into horror.

While being a good movie, this one definitely wasn't what I was originally expecting.
