1. BLUES BROTHERS 2000 - Released in 1998? Huh?

2. ENOUGH - starring Jennifer Lopez - Yes, it is enough with Jennifer Lopez. Now go away!

3. NEXT - Starring Nicolas Cage and Miss No-Talent 2007,Jessica Biel - This took the words right out of my mouth...NEXT!!

4. STAR WARS - EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE - What?! Who or What is the Phantom Menace? Good work George.

5. GIGLI - Again, enough with this hose-beast. Oh, and her ass ain't that great.

6. LARRY THE CABLE GUY, HEALTH INSPECTOR - Okay, is this fat, piece-of-dung a Cable Guy or a Health Inspector? I don't get it.

7. LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD - "Okay guys, I've got a great idea for the title of our new DIE HARD sequel. We'll base if off of the state motto from New Hampshire's license plate, and put the name of the previous three films at the end of the title, thus confusing the hell out of everyone! What do ya think?!" - former Studio Executive

8. REINDEER GAMES - Nice try Affleck! Can't wait to see you on the New Hollywood Squares! Go back to Boston.

9. HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE - Okay, is it a serious crime drama or a buddy cop comedy? See bad choices in film titles for other examples of this.

10. CRASH (2004) - Good movie, but don't name your title after one that already exists.
Yeah, I had a great script idea and was going to call it RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, but realized that title has already been taken. Damn.

11. MONSTERS - Totally misleading title. I know that this was done on purpose and that the moral of the story tries to tell us that we humans are the true monsters ... however, the movie was so poorly excecuted that this point didn't come across and that's why the title fails either way.

12. FROM PARIS WITH LOVE - The title is as stupid as the flick itself.

13. THE TOWN - The movie wasn't bad (although can't beat HEAT) but the title is totally off. I still fail to see why it was named "the town".

14. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN - The title is as pointless as the movie itself. And please don't try to explain the movie to me, thx.

15. THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO - I bet the next two movies will be called "The guy that hates the gouvernment" and "All those people that do things".

16. THE HAPPENING - If this was a joke by Shamayaladingdong this was a nasty joke and gets my respect. But since I think he was serious it's one of the worst titles ever because the longer the movie goes on, the less happens. No movie had ever been more anticlimatic than this.

17. BABEL - You'd have to make hours of research and use up all your imagination to make a connection between the movie title and the plot.

18. 8 MILE - May have been explained in the movie but I don't know what the title is referring to and quite honestly I don't care.

19. GROSSE POINT BLANK - The movie is great but the title is terrible because it's so hard to remember. "Grosse Point" is a name of a high school in the movie and "Blank" the surename of the protagonist. But why put these two together in the title? Makes no sense. And whenever I mention this movie to someone I have to repeat the title several times. "What? Is the movie about someone shooting others at point blank and the visuals are gross?" ...

20. FINAL DESTINATION 2-5+ - Don't get me wrong, "Final Destination" was a good title for the original movie. But a movie with this name simply should have no sequels ... it's like "The End of the World 2" ;)

21. THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN - At least the title gives us a hint at the quality of the movie ...

Of course there are really REALLY stupid movie titles out there like "Ga_ynig_gers from outer space" but at least they are so odd that they get your attention and make them check it out.

You seem to forget that there was a trend in the 90's with adding the number 2000 to the end of a title, Goosebumps did it as well.
