    Well, In some ways 'Krakatoa East of Java' fits, as it's really west of Java
    but I'd suggest -
    'Faster, Pusycat! Kill! Kill!' and
    'Dracula Meets the Outer Space Chicks'

    Do you mean so bad they're good, silly, boring or just crap?

    I'd add something like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes only that title fit the movie perfectly.

    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.

    'Faster, Pusycat! Kill! Kill!'

    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.

    Sssssss (1973)

    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.

    Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee - Shane Meadows, no less.

    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.

    Not bad titles in themselves but when put on a double bill...http://www.buzzfeed.com/adamdavis/now-in-theaters

    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

    "Attack of the Mushroom People" which is the clod-hopping US title of a good 1963 Japanese horror movie called "Matango".

    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.

    How about I Dismember Mamma. Not sure it is real though.

    Even more so than horror films are porn titles. Saturday Night Beaver and Shaving Ryan's Privates, to name two.
