The 0 Silliest Movie Titles of 0

Tribeca Productions Development Assistant Isaac Katz shares the most ironic, absurd, and completely ridiculous movie titles of the year.

10. Star Trek Into Darkness

Overly-cutesy screenwriter alert! Lindelof and Kurtzman & Orci managed to drop the colon typically found in a sequels title by turning the "trek" of the franchises name from a noun to a verb. The cynics will say theres more creativity in that title than in the rest of the movie, but oh well.

9. A Good Day to Die Hard

The name of the first movie in this franchise was rather clever, in that Bruce Willis was both a diehard and a man who was difficult to kill. By movie number five, however, the logic of the title has been entirely lost: after all, the events of the movie demonstrate that that day is not a good day to die at all.

8. Blue is the Warmest Color

Originally titled "The Life of Adele" in French, this Cannes-winning film tried to go for a less-bland title for its American release. Perhaps the name made sense in the context of the original French graphic novel, but the blue hair of one character and the blue dress of another add up to nothing more than a superficial attempt at meaningless symbolism. The title ultimately sounds as absurd as the films seven-minute sex scene looks.

7. Iron Man Three

Yes, this movie is not called "Iron Man 3," its called "Iron Man Three." Check the title card, check the IMDb. Theres no reason for it: just cause.

6. Movie 43

Dig deep enough into your Google search and youll find an explanation for why this sketch comedy anthology has its name. This explanation is not very interesting or funny. Audiences said the same about the movie itself.

5. The Best Man Holiday

For his Christmas-themed sequel to his 1999 drama The Best Man, Malcolm D. Lee apparently decided that he should just stick the word "Holiday" after the original title. Never mind that the new title, standing on its own, makes no sense. Is it the holiday of the Best Man? If so, hes missing an apostrophe! Is it the best "Man-Holiday"? (Do tell ) If so, hes missing a hyphen!

4. To The Wonder

Yes, Terrence Malick titled his latest movie with a prepositional phrase. Seriously. Of course, Malick officially went off the deep end with this film, abandoning story and character entirely in favor of two hours of a sunlit Olga Kurylenko twirling through lens-flared fields, so its not like the title was the films worst creative decision.

3. A.C.O.D.

If the filmmakers were trying to create the blandest, most meaningless, and most easily forgettable title, then they may have succeeded. (For what its worth, it stands for Adult Children of Divorce. Which is actually a pretty good title!)

2. InAPPropriate Comedy

Yes, the "APP" is capitalized. From the mind of Vince Offer, creator of the Shamwow, and starring Adrien Brody, Rob Schneider, and Lindsay Lohan, comes the story of rogue tablet computer apps that wreak comedic havoc on the world. You read that right.

1. The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia

Strangely, this entire movie takes place in Wyoming.
