This is awesome. 
Weird Movie Titles: From 'Goats' to 'Eegah!'
by Jonathan Crow ยท November 5, 2009
This week, "The Men Who Stare at Goats" starring George Clooney opens in theaters nationwide. And however critics and audiences react to the flick, one thing's for sure: it really does have a memorable name.
A great title can make a movie. After all, the only reason "Snakes on a Plane" attracted Samuel L. Jackson and became a focus of overwhelming internet hype was because of its ridiculously awesome title. On the other hand, "The Shawshank Redemption" proved to be such a puzzling moniker that moviegoers stayed away. It was only after the film was released on video that it found an audience and became recognized as a classic.
Here's a list of some of the weirdest movie titles ever, divided into specific categories. Sometimes they're too long, sometimes they're too short, but they all make a statement -- even the ones that are completely unpronounceable.
RUN-ON SENTENCES
Titles that could have used an editor.
The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
Who Is Harry Kellerman And Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (AKA: Marat/Sade)
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?
STRANGE COMMANDS
Movies that seem to demand you do something.
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
Duck, You Sucker!
Stick It
Throw Mama from the Train
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

Too much punctuation, too many phrases.
