How to spot a bad movie

Now, I'm a rather big fan of watching and ridiculing bad movies. It really appeals to me, but it's gotten tougher to find really crappy titles, so, this:

1. Features "Versus" or "Vs." in the title (ex. Vampires vs. Zombies)
2. Features a one letter animal name as the title (ex. Crocodile)
3. Lists "interactive dvd menu" as one of a few special feature (ex. Venomous)
4. Obviously has a very low budget, but still boasts an original score (ex. Future War)
5. Spelling of movie title is different on spine and on front cover (ex. Abraxis/Abraxas)
6. Title features "(Location) (Job)" (ex. Hollywood Cop)
7. Title does not make grammatical/cohesive sense (ex. Ski Troop Attack)
8. Title consists of "The (Adjective)" (ex. The Frightening)
9. Title contains a year that hasn't been experienced yet (ex. Dracula 3000)

Remember, it has to fulfill several of these signs, not just one. Happy hunting.

16. Title is formatted as The (noun) from (place) (ex. The Killer Klowns from Outer Space). Yes, it is spelled with a k.

I was going to post "Is shown on the SciFi network, but you description is better since occasionally they'll show decent (non-SciFi original) movies.

^^Don't foget "Ballistic: Ecks versus Sever"

The word "got" is in the title. (ex. You got served, Freddy got fingered)
