    I voted for WATSDOBDOJB, even though I've never seen it.

    The title is long, weird and totally unlike an American film title. I love it.

    Assuming that by "best" you mean silliest, I went with Jennifer's Body. The title is so ridiculously long that you pretty much lose interest before the question is fully asked!

    Hell, they're all fun. But the idea of torturing a duckling is just too funny not to get my vote.

    They should remake some of these into pornos:

    What Are Those Strange Drops of Skeet Doing on Jennifer's Body?
    The Bitch with the Bush of Fire
    Death Carries a Dildo
    The Strange Snatch of Mrs. Wardh

    I have problems. :lol:

    Likewise. It sounds like a direct line of dialogue plucked from the script and made into the title.

    How about:

    Seven Money Shots In Her Cat's Eye
    Don't Torture A Virgin Suckling
    How To Drill A Judge
    A Whore Lies On Grey Velvet
    The Killer Wore Latex Gloves :rolleyes:

    I've always enjoyed thinking up adult versions of movie titles, so you're not the only one with problems. I voted for Strip Nude For Your Killer because it's a great title for a great trashy movie and Edwige Fenech does great things for me. :glasses:

    Old thread but I just now discovered it :D
    I kinda like Torso's original title, The Bodies Bear Traces of Carnal Violence.

    I always thought the Bloodstained Butterfly was an interesting title.
