Most Ironic Movie Titles

[Adam J. Hakari]

List as many titles that are virtual contradictions to the movies they belong to.

My votes go to HAPPINESS and FAITHFUL.

Goodfellas. theyre actually murderers it could be called badfellas
Naked Lunch-Theyre not naked, and there is no lunch-eating.

[James Logan]

GOODFELLAS.
And BATMAN FOREVER, it sucks so much they should have called it BATMAN FOR NEVER and stopped the series after that one.

I got a more fuuny one, ''Where The Money Is'', man it tanked at the box office! /ubb/smile.gif

What about "Whats The Worst That Could Happen?"... THIS MOVIE!!!!

[Adam J. Hakari]

Actually, "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" WAS the worst that could happen, so it doesn't sound.

Still, we agree that it's one crappy flick.

***Spoiler Warning***

Dr. Strangelove-Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb...wait, is that irony...? Because, you know, they had to learn to love the bomb because it blew them all away at the end.

Friday the 13th part 4: The Final Chapter

[RicochetShaw]

Siren, please put spoilers when you say the ending to a movie. You just told the ending to Dr. Strangelove without putting the spoiler warning.

[ilovemovies]

Beautiful since the movie itself was anything but.
other titles:
Fight Club since the movie wasn't really ultimately about the fight club
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason takes Manhattan since he doesn't even get to manhattan until the last 20 minutes and all he does is chase after the remaining survivors from the cruise ship.
Simply Irresistible since, while not exactly terrible, is certainly not irresistible.
That's all I can think of for now I'll be back later with more.

[SIREN30]

sorry Ricochet...I guess thats one of my weakenesses, just ASSUMING that everyone on this site wouldve had the sense to have seen Dr Strangelove by now... /ubb/rolleyes.gif

[RicochetShaw]

Ha-ha Siren. I have seen the film, but others who might have not will get a spoiled ending from your post.

[Lindsey]

I want to see Dr.Strangelove but something's holdong me back from renting it.

[RicochetShaw]

Thank you for proving my point Lindsey, and I strongly recommend Dr. Strangelove.

[Mike]

I haven't seen it either but I don't want to so it didn't bother me that he didn't post a spoiler warning...

[Danny L]

Happiness.

[osha999]

I'll have to go with "Hideous Kinky". It's a great little movie about a young mother (Kate Winslet) and her two daughters living in 1970's Morocco, but it sounds like a weird porn flick...

[PackBacker]

The Haunting (1999) The movie was not about fear, haunting, etc. It was about bad special effects.

[Gia]

Pretty Woman - Julia Roberts is NOT pretty!

[screamer581]

I'm not a big Julia Roberts fan either, but she isn't bad to look at. Oh yeah,Mike why don't you wanna see Dr.Strangelove? It's one of the funniest films ever!

[RicochetShaw]

Mike!!!!! Come on man! Dr. Strangelove could be my number 1 best film. Why dont you wanna see it?

[ArmyJacket]

Flawless.

[The Professional]

Unforgettable - totally fogettable

True Lies - WTF is a true lie

[Chililoaf]

Half Baked.... I don't know but those guys seems completely baked...

[pennywise46]

"Dead Alive"

[Toby]

Funny Games by Michael Haneke.
A very disturbing movie about fear and mindless violence. definately NOT funny,
but a terrific film.
It might be a little bit hard to find in the US and Canada but well worth the try!!

[Mike]

I don't want to see it because I know nothing about it. I hear you guys talk about it a lot though, but I don't know what it is... Isn't it by Stanley Kubrick?

[Zed]

Use your imagination.
What about:

Things to do in Denver when you're dead (my favorite).

Penn and Teller get killed.

Wag the dog.

[Toby]

Mike are you talking about Funny Games?
It's a movie by Austrian director Michael Haneke.

[Jezka]

The only one I can really think of (and it's not a very good example) is The Virgin Suicides. Not all of them were virgins...
