If we're to dwell on the merely clichéd or foolish, we might mention the way the marketers couldn't resist the word "Naked." As in Gun, Edge, Jungle, Kiss, Ape, Cage, Dawn, Maja, Runner, . . . And then there was the era of parallel adjectives: THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION, THE PROUD AND THE PROFANE, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, . . . There was even a movie that embodied both of those trends: THE NAKED AND THE DEAD.

If they make a film about FSMers, they could title it, "The Old and the Humorless."

I love Christopher Young, but...The Shipping News is such a dull title.
It should be, I don't know, The Ripping News!

I found that statement rather disconcerting, but then, thank goodness, I noticed the winkie icon.
I find that the older we get, the better we are about differentiating authentic humor from sheer idiocy. (And I also don’t find the youthful or middle aged FSMers musically deaf nor humorless. We are all pretty savvy.)
Yes i like The Humourless and The Doorbell.
It has a ring to it.

Are there any film titles that, for whatever reason, make you completely disinterested in the films, regardless of composer, director, etc.?
For me, some examples include the following:
Studs Lonigan
The Manitou
The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing
Elmer Gantry
Taras Bulba
I just hate these titles. I can't imagine wasting 90 minutes of my life on any of them. I may be missing out, but hey, you may be missing out by not having any of, for example, Marion Brown's albums on the Arista Freedom label.
I may be unusual, but with 7 billion or whatever people on the planet, I can't be THAT unusual.
So let's hear your favorites: Film titles that you think are so repulsive, stupid, or boring, that you could care less...
That was Onya in January 2012. I hope you have since come to your senses and sat through THE MANITOU at least, which is one of the BEST FILMS EVER MADE and the Lalo Schifrin score is ABSOLUTELY FECKIN' AMAZING, innit?
I still don't like films which have a gerund as the first word of the title. They're all bollox, although I kinda liked BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, even if I can't stand John bloody Malkovich himself.
