So, throw out some interesting movie titles.

I always liked the titles to 60's horror movies.

As opposed to what time period?

Generally, elaborate titles like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" don't equal box office gold.

yes horror
Colossus and the Headhunters
Danger!! Death Ray
Castle of Fu Manchu
The Epic Hero and the beast
million eyes of sumuru

A buddy & I used to have a running joke that if a movie had more than two words in the title, it was likely a chick flick.

How many of these were in the Top 5 box office?

It doesn't get any better than "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar".

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

these sound very russ meyer.

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

It's usually the horror flicks that have the more exciting titles:

Play Misty for Me

The Last House on the Left

I Spit on Your Grave

aka Day of the Woman

They USED to be more exciting. Look at what we have now. Insidious. Sinister (which I just watched and LOVED). Paranormal Activity. The Conjuring. The Collector. zzzzzzz

Compare that to He Knows You're Alone, Don't Go in the House, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead. The Hills Have Eyes. Night Train Murders. Any of the Italian gialli. Now I'm not saying all these movies are better (some are absolute shit), but at least they came up with good TITLES!

My favorite movie title of all-time:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

Frozen is still #2 in the country yet it seems more difficult each week to find showings. I am guessing what showings they have must get a good sized crowd.

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

I was going to post the same thing. Kudos!

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

"The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" :)

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

The Ghost and the Darkness is still one of my favourite movie titles ever. Very evocative.

Did you answer your own question in the thread title?

I thought Troy McClure was just a character off of the Simpsons.... Guess not.

Re: Are movie titles getting less interesting? No.
 

Not to mention the star has a good name too.

It's pretty hard to infer anything incorrect about the movie from its title. You know damn well what you're getting.
