If you could change the name of a movie you like what would you change it to and why? - Blu-ray Forum

Everybody has a band that they love, even though they know the name is stupid. Like The Skies Revolt.
I think the same must go for movies.
Do you have a movie among your favorites that you wish was named differently? What movie is it? What would you change the name to? Why do you think a title change would serve the picture?

Mine is Pulp Fiction. It seems like the movie was written after the title was thought of and that a lot of the aesthetic of the film and the dialogue was forced, because it had to live up to this sort-of esoteric name. I would like it better, and not constantly think about getting rid of my copy if it were called something like "Band-Aid Man" or "Suitcase Wonderfight" or "Mrs. Wallace and Mr. Wallace and a Guy who Says What" or "Quentin Tarantino's Video About the Boxing" . . . I also think it would be a much more true-to-form cult hit if it were straight to video, like Boondock Saints . . . which should have been called "XBrosX"

It should be "James Bond vs. the Water Pirates of France"

I would change "Army of Darkness" to the original title "The Medieval Dead' because it's a better title and it's what Sam Raimi wanted.

The Lion King should have been called The Lion Hamlet

A League of Their Own should have been called No Crying in Baseball

Herbie: Fully Loaded should have been called New Herbie Goes New Bananas

Signs should have been called

Donnie Darko should have been called Frank the Bunny
