Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

WTF I like that title... I just watched that movie for the first time yesterday!

I don't think it is a horrible title - although I might be biased because I enjoyed the film so much.

Actually, I think it's a damn good title.

No it is a horrible title.

If they actually name it something that made sense to people who did not see it, it would have been a lot more popular and made a lot more money than it did sooner.

No, that's what previews, reviews, trailers, and movie descriptions are for. The title is meant to capture the essence of the entire film in as few words as possible, which "Shawshank" does almost perfectly.

What are you suggesting?

"Guy Mistakenly Goes to Jail and his Adventures Therein"
"Jail Sucks, Don't it?"
"The Wacky Adventures of a Wrongly Accused Con"
"Andy Dufresne Gets the Best of ol' Warden Norton"
"Morgan Freeman Narrates a Daring Escape"

The Shawshank Redemption
Clunks off your tongue

I really enjoyed this film.


Freddy Got Fingered
Because child molestation is always funny enough to put in a title...

Thank friggen god someone else thought so. I honeslty couldn't even finish the film and im very happy i only rented it. It wasn't even worth the time it took me to go rent it.

Probably because a lot of people on here really like it and consider everything about it, including the title, to be sacred.. something I pretty much subscribe to as well. :p

I'm thinking he put it on this list because it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, so it's sort of a weak entry and I think every else is agreeing with that. Good thing it wasn't named exactly how the novella was though, because "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" isn't much smoother coming off the tongue heh.

My family would have nightmares trying to say that title.

Too bad it's only an episode of 30 Rock and not actually a movie. Imagine being a ticket cashier at a movie theater listening to all the ways people could mutilated that title heh.
