From The Princess Bride to Baby Driver, Reddit users enjoyed these 10 movies but thought their titles could have been better.
The Big Picture COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Titles play a huge role in the first impression films leave on viewers; naturally, a movie with a title that manages to catch the attention of moviegoers and consequently draw people in is more likely to result in success. Furthermore, titles help set the mood and tone for a flick, sending out an accurate message about what the screenplay is about.
9 'Lucky Number Slevin' This neo-noir action thriller by Paul McGulgan is filled with twists and turns , making for an engaging watch with an intriguing narrative surrounding a clueless man dragged into the middle of a war schemed by two rival crime lords in New York City. When DayTwoFlesh chose "eXistenZ" as their pick for "good movies with terrible titles," the user Aquagoat could not help noting how "freaking '90s" it actually is: "It's like they knew we were about to drop the 90s edginess for the sleek i2000's garbage and went as hard '90s as they could with that one," they wrote. "Great movie though, Cronenberg is too cool.
6 'Collateral' Starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, Collateral depicts a Los Angeles cab driver who later learns that his current customer is a hitman who is having him drive around several locations while on a killing spree in the city.In the user vaneswork's opinion, Michael Mann's mystery thriller features a "[weak] title for such a great film." Reddit user Entroppy413 agreed, saying that it is an "absolutely incredible movie with a fully weak-ass title.
4 'Dredd 3D' Combining the genres of sci-fi and action to interesting results, Dredd 3D is a highly entertaining 2012 feature by Pete Davis, written by Ex-Machina's filmmaker Alex Garland. It illustrates a futuristic city where the police are allowed to act as judges, juries, and executioners. While The Shawshank Redemptionis a massive critical success, it unfortunately did not do well at the box office, and many users on Reddit believe that its title is to blame. "Famously The Shawshank Redemption flopped at the box office largely for this reason," the user 11777766 said.
