Best movie title ever?

"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.

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

Dafuq!

How did this piece of ephemeral knowledge come your way?

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!

Plan 9 from Outer Space.

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

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.

Snakes on a Plane.

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