Every time the movie trailer for "House at the End of the Street" starring Jennifer Lawrence airs on TV, all I keep thinking is "Sheesh! They couldn't come up with a better title?!" I mean, this film has one of the silliest movie titles that I have ever known.
One thing's for sure though -- it also plays up not one, but two trends that never seem to get old in Hollywood: Movie titles made of Phrases (think "Dude, where's my Car?" starring Ashton Kutcher) and Lengthy movie titles (think "What's Love Got to Do with It?" starring Angela Bassett). This week's Monday Movie Meme theme is based on the latter trend: Extended Editions.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies with long titles that look like they may never end. These movie titles can also be a phrase but they don't have to necessarily make sense. Here are my selections for this week's Extended Editions meme.
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
I don't care what critics say or think about this comedy starring Christina Applegate, it has been enjoyable for me to watch every time it came on TV when I was a kid.
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
This horror flick was a disappointing sequel but Brandy is in it and I've been a huge fan since childhood, so of course, I bought it on VHS despite liking the first film in the franchise better than this one.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
I didn't read the book but did watch the film once in its entirety and then maybe a portion of it again later....and I still don't get it. The movie is weird, boring and doesn't make any sense. Or could it be that I just wasn't paying enough attention to it?
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Although this movie was previously listed among my selections for awkward shower scenes in movies, it's also fitting for this week's Extended Editions topic AND it contains a phrase. That's two for two!
A Good Day to Be Black and Sexy
I have yet to watch this dramatic indie film but it comes to mind when I think Long-ass-movie-titles.
So tell me...
What movies have YOU watched that have long titles?
