“Fighting,” the hilariously obvious title of the recently released Channing Tatum film got us thinking about other films with a remarkable lack of creativity when it comes to the most important aspect of public recognition.
#5. Fighting
Ok, so I understand that fighting is pretty much the only thing that happens in this movie, along with some lazy exposition and unintentionally hilarious dialogue, but you honestly couldn’t come up with a better title than “Fighting?”
#4. Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton’s 1990 macabre fairy tale starring Johnny Depp as a guy named Edward who has scissors for hands is nearing cult classic status. It makes me wonder how things would have turned out if they decided to give it a really cryptic name like “Avon Calling.”
#3. Three Men and a Baby
If you’ve ever wondered what this movie is about then you probably can’t read. It’s about exactly three men, and one baby. What more do you need to know?
#2. Alien vs. Predator
What’s great about this film is that it doesn’t even pretend to have a plot. You know from the second you see the title exactly what you’re getting with this movie. Although I’ve heard it’s actually a prequel to Dreamworks’ “Monster vs. Aliens.”
#1. Snakes on a Plane
“Are you serious? No, I a mean did they really, seriously make a movie called ‘Sankes on a Plane?’” If you’re like me, that was your reaction when you saw the trailer to Samuel L. Jackson’s claustrophic, creature thriller with perhaps the most ridiculously obvious title in the history of cinema.
