1. I don't know what I'd change it to, but 'Tin Cup' is the worst movie title I can think of. |
|
For a mainstream studio release. (It was on TV the other night is why I even remembered to mention it)

2. The Shawshank Redemption |
|
The title of the novella was "Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption" -- too long for most theater marquees, but far better than just "The Shawshank Redemption"
I think "The Redemption" could have worked just fine.
Suggestions?

4. "21 grams" should have been retitled...pretty much anything except "21 grams" (spoilers). |
|
Edited on Sat Jan-23-10 10:26 AM by BlueIris
Because the title was "relevant" to exactly nothing in the entire crapfest of a film, and is only explained briefly in the last thirty seconds or so.
"Naomi Watts and Sean Penn Make Out a Lot"
"Sean Penn Phones It in for Two Hours"
"Better Performances By Non-Establishment Actors Are Marginalized Beneath the More Popular Stars"
"Nihilist Nonsense With Bad Editing"
...are just a few of my suggestions.

should be renamed coffee house conversation. Because more of the movie is banal conversations than inglorious bastard related.

10. Most remakes should have the words |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-25-10 11:49 AM by CBGLuthier
"Not Really" added to them. For example
Not Really Rollerball Not Really The Day the Earth Stood Still Not Really I am Legend
and so on.

...once they explained in the movie what "Ronin" means, it made sense, but i don't think it was a good title for promoting the movie.

23. The A&E miniseries of P&P is WONDERFUL. |
|
Keira Knightly can go jump in a lake, and all copies of the travesty she "starred" in should be melted down and recycled.

31. Fucking is definetley not boring... |
|
But Jane Austen adaptations, (And most British period dramas, Cranford, Lark Rise to Candleford, etc...) I find very boring.
Maybe it's because I'm a guy, maybe it because I like contemporary drams much better.

21. I've always thought "One True Thing" was a terrible title |

It's so generic; it gives you no idea what the movie is about.

The Phantom Menace --> One Half Hour Pod Race With A Kid And Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Midi-Chlorians, But Jar-Jar Was Babbling
Attack Of The Clones --> The Kid From The One Half Hour Pod Race Has Grown Up, Kisses A Princess And Fights Dracula Losing A Hand In CGI
Revenge Of The Sith --> Losing His Hand Made The Kid From The Half Hour Pod Race Angry, So He Kills Other Kids And Gets A Black Suit And A Mask At The End
