Obviously titles are a very important aspect of films, as a great, snappy title is sure to catch your attention and they're made all the better when you hear the trailer guy saying them. Fight Club, sounds brutal. There Will Be Blood, ah hell yeah! The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, its got my attention! Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, alright! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, sounds cool enough. Strangers on a Train, no way!? Snakes on a Plane, seriously!? The Thing, what thing? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Jaws, simple yet effective. Some Like it Hot, they sure do. Bulletproof Monk, that's some hard monk. You get the picture. Titles can leave a big impression.
I was just wondering what movie titles left the biggest impression on you, or simply what you think the best movie titles are? Whether they're cool, witty, just plain stupid, or mean something to you - let me know!
I think I'll have to go with The Man Who Stole the Sun. Not only does it sound epicly cool, but it gives you a sense of the scale of the movie and the themes within, even though it did kind of go in the opposite direction. Ghost in the Shell, Throne of Blood and The Sun's Burial are some other titles I love.
This may be a rather strange thread but with that I hope we'll get some interesting replies!
