Earth Girls are Easy One of those so bad it's good movies for me, plus there's hot young naked Jeff Goldblum.

I thought I might throw out some more of my quirkier favorites:
A Fish Called Wanda, (how quirky can you get?) The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Being John Malkovich, (which I just knew was going to top the bizarro charts the second I saw the title) and Se7en (because, how cute is the 7-turned-into-a-V thing?).

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers are a couple of my favorites. I also like The Usual Suspects - or maybe the title with the poster is what really draws me to it. Those mug shots are awesome.  eta link to poster

Straight to Hell. I've never seen it -- just like the title and think the poster's pretty funny.

Monty Python's Life of Brian started out with the title Jesus Christ--Lust for Glory.

Can I say I hate the title for At Play in the Fields of the Lord. I know it is based on a book of the same name, and may be a really good movie, but I could never bring myself to watch it. The title sounds too much like what a Ren Faire aficionado would title his Robin Hood King Arthur slash fiction.

Never seen the movie though -- something about missionaries and native people, right?[/sv] Similarly, one of my favourite movie titles is The Ghost and The Darkness, the Val Kilmer-Michael Douglas movie about man-eating lions. Ridley Scott's 1492: Conquest of Paradise is a good one too. There's something very lyrical about these titles I find appealing. |

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is an interesting one. Unless you're well-versed in Irish ballads, you'd have no idea what the title had to do with Irish rebellion until about 2/3 of the way through. It is beautiful though.

Snakes on a Plane, Mega Shark VS. Giant Octopus I like movies that tell you what you're in for right from the start.
