I liked Batman Returns, and Max Dugan Returns.

How about "the Beginning"?

What about...Shark?

Or Brain? Clone? With a few exceptions, Massacre (for that matter, Slumber)...

Think of more specific words. Then you find heaps of B movies.

Day of the Dead? The Day the Earth Stood Still? The Longest Day? Falling Down?

You have me with the "day" counterexamples, but imho Falling Down proves the point.

Wow, I can think of dozens of good to great movies with "Day" and "Fall" in it (The Day After wouldn't be in that group).

Any movie with the word "the" in the title SUCKS!

"Vs" (as in "Cobra Vs. Komodo")

Nothing good can come of using "Carnosaur" in a title

"Youngblood" doesn't bode well (Ebert cliche).

I don't think Bergman ever made a film with "Klowns" in the title.

Well, the only good Rambo movie, First Blood, does not have the word "Rambo" in the title.

I like all three Rambo movies personally. Sure the first one is by far the best, but the other two are good popcorn flicks. Sometimes I just like to turn my brain off and watch shit blow up.
