I love it when movies (usually low-budget films or re-titled foreign imports) have really bizarre titles.  Here are 5 that come to mind.  Let's try to compile a huge list.

* The Saga of the Viking Women and their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent

* The Horrible, Sexy Vampire (aka El Vampiro de la Autopista)

* If You Don't Stop It . . . You'll Go Blind!!!

* Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses? 

* The Eerie Midnight Horror Show (aka The Tormented, The Sexorcist, and several other titles)

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Here's a good one:

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230575/

Or how 'bout this one:

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475343/

Sometimes how silly the title is is what makes me want to see it. Like "DONT WORRY. WE'LL THINK OF A TITLE".

That sounds BRILLIANT! However, this iz not always the case. like "SSSSSSS". lame lame lame lame. That movie blew more than .......... I dunno. It just blew.

Ok, out of all of those, I'm suprised you didn't mention "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death."

One thing that I do appreciate about many bad movie titles is that you know what's coming, such as "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" or "Satan's Cheerleaders."  When you get a movie like "Troll 2", however...

Intersting that you should mention "Monster a Go Go."  The film group at my school is filming a zombie movie for their final project, and their calling it "Zombie a Go Go."  I get to be an extra.

Useless trivia time...Al Adamson's first film was called PSYCHO a GO GO...which was re edited,new parts added and rereleased as the convulated BLOOD of GHASTLY HORROR!!! (Al had a way with crazy titles,to catch the eye,and usually nothing to do with the content of the movie itself...)
