Good movies with bad titles.

Remember the title is a homage to Inglorious Bastards (1978), an Italian film directed by Enzo G. Castellari.

Edge of Tomorrow just doesn't sound like a sci-fi action movie. It sounds like some teen movie about some girl struggling with high school. Shawshank is just a strange word and adding "redemption" kind of spoils the ending.

I actually think Star Wars is a strange title. It's more like Space Wars.

I couldn't get into Basterds either! There were some great scenes wrapped into a nothing story to me. To each their own.

Isn't that what you do when you call the authorities on an illegal immigrant?

The term is explained in the movie and its original source material.

I still don't know what that means.

Agreed. And 'Inglorious Bastards' was a really good title.

The title is bad because of the ridiculous spelling.

Fant4stic is a bad title, but the movie is even worse so it fits. This thread is about good movies with bad titles.

"GOOD" movies.

I don't know why so many people hate the title "We Bought a Zoo." It is what it's about. Maybe too obvious though.

Good entries, particularly your first two.

Those movies are all famously dogshit

I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid.

Even Infinity War is pretty dumb.

I think The Spotless Mind sounds better and sounds less of a turnoff for people.

the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a superb, poetic turn of phrase.

if you don't see the wicked beauty of that, you have my sympathy.
