Death Death Death to the Sea Monster From Planet Mars.
It didn't exist but I want some real ones. Thanks.
Anyone more?

but I'd suggest -
'Faster, Pusycat! Kill! Kill!' and
'Dracula Meets the Outer Space Chicks'
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull doesn't exactly roll of the tongue.
A Fistful of Dynamite (pretty cool title) was known as Duck You Sucker in some countries.
I'd say Russ Meyer's reasoning behind that title is pretty sound. It has fast cars, sex and violence all in one shortish title.
My vote would be for anything with one of the suffixes:
Revenge
Apocalypse
Genesis
Just for the sheer laziness of it.
I remember seeing that on a VHS cover in a video shop. According to IMDB, it was released in the UK as Ssssnake. I'm guessing this means the VHS copy in that video shop was a pirated video.
Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (1987)
I'm still convinced director Alan Clarke and his cast were on crack when they made this musical film.
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? 60s horror musical. Like, far out, man
The Amazing Mr. No Legs - 70s exploitation actioner with a big clue in the title.
I'd add Ninja, Teen and 3D
That reminds me of a photo of a cinema in, I think, Glasgow which was showing a Tom Hanks movie, a Harrison Ford movie and a Bridget Fonda movie. The sign over the cinema entrance read: Big Frantic Shag

That's brilliant. Had me genuinely LOL. Transformers Sex Tape - definitely have to see that one!
As for crap titles:
Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever - I've always absolutely hated this movie title for no apparent reason. Also happens to be one of the worst movies ever made as well.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - pretty descriptive but overlong. And the title makes the film sound really boring.
Koyaanisqatsi - you what now? Great music score by Philip Glass to a film that's basically moving wallpaper. And unpronounceable. I'm sure it means something in a foreign language but it just sounds pretentious
Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean - again, too long. Good film, though
Inglourious Basterds - deliberately misspelled by Tarantino with no explanation. Awkward sod.
That's part of a three-film trilogy, isn't it? I'll have to Google for the titles.
Here goes:
Koyaanisqatsi (Life out of balance) (1982)
Powaqqatsi (Life in transformation) (1988)
Naqoyqatsi (Life as war) (2002)
According to Google, those are in Hopi, the language of the Uto-Aztecan people. Oh.
Duel of the Tough
Leopard Fist Ninja
Magnificent Wonderman
Concentrational Camp for Girls
Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
Pacific Rim
Mushroom People, lol.

It's actually surprisingly good.
Even more so than horror films are porn titles. Saturday Night Beaver and Shaving Ryan's Privates, to name two.
Rises/Rise of.
Terminator:Genisys is all kinds of bad.
