Best movie title ever?

Come across this one recently:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11505692/

Anyone else come across other 'interesting' titles?

"The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot" is easily my favourite from recent years. Haven't seen it, mind.

Actually a really good movie with Sam Elliot that's not really anything like the title suggests even though both those killings are genuinely part of the movie. It's a strange one, I expected a nonsensical schlock-fest and found a slow-burning drama, but it's a solid flick.

Deepthroat.

Cheers. I had heard it was decent alright, and Elliot is always watchable.

Plan 9 from Outer Space.

How did this piece of ephemeral knowledge come your way?

Aliens

Does what it says on the tin. Like Alien - but more of them.

Great one-word titles are pretty hard to beat, like Jaws, Alien, The Godfather*, Parasite, etc. A few more complex that stand out to me as kind of eye-catching in one way or another:

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
Blade Runner
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
The Taking of Pelham 123
Joe's So Mean to Josephine

*The "The" doesn't count!

Octopussy

I've long hated Braveheart for it's predictability and cliches, plus my disdain for much of Gibson's post Mad Max Hollywood work. I've always wanted to call it Plan 9 from the Outer Hebrides.

Some movie titles can carry a good deal of meaning, e.g. The Killing Fields,
some very little bearing on the context of the movie, e.g. Chinatown

It's a short film but:
The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon

I'm not sure what's more shocking, the title or the fact that it was made as recently as 1992.

"Rebel without a cause"

Great title, rubbish movie.

Jaws. It doesn't need more, it doesn't mess around. JAWS.

Serendipity. It's just a lovely word.
Equilibrium. Same reason.

Things We Lost In The Fire. Never saw it, but it sounds poetic.

Spaceballs.

The Tree of Wooden Clogs is a nice one if you bear in mind the film itself.

And a good movie

There's a whole host of Italian giallo movies that have, fascinating and lurid titles that are often the best thing about the film. Such as 'All the Colours of the Dark', 'Seven Deaths in a Cats Eye', Black Belly of the Tarantula', 'Don't Torture a Duckling', 'The House With Laughing Windows' and 'Short Night of the Glass Dolls'.

Although, probably the best Italian title I ever heard was a 70's movie called 'The End of the World in Our Usual Bed in a Night Full of Rain'. Often shortened to 'A Night Full of Rain', for obvious reasons.

Planet of the Apes . Considering this film came out in the 60's it must have fried a few peoples heads with the concept of it.

A day browsing about Movie Magic I recall seeing a video titled "Womb Raider" in the naughty section.

Definitely "Stay Tuned " with John Ritter and Jeffrey Jones, altough it isn't popular or famous. However, there is many movies, which I like, for example "Blues Brothers" and "Blues Brothers 2000". And many, many other :-)

Quantum Erasure

Jaws 4: The Revenge

Quantum Erasure

The year of living dangerously

What's eating Gilbert Grape?

Some of the p0rno parody titles are pretty damn inventive.

We don't mention the abomination that is Blues Brothers 2000 in polite company.
