7 Words That Only Bad Movies Have in Their Title | Cracked.com

Say what? The words Future, Robot, Cop, Beast and Karate all appear in good films, although the author does have a point about Cyborg and Ninja.

Here's some words that would have been better candidates than some of the words actually on the list:

(1)"Zombie."

(2) Any film with the word "Movie" in it, if that word is not preceded by "The." If a film is called The ___________ Movie, it might or might not be OK (The Muppet Movie, The Kentucky Fried Movie and The Simpsons Movie are all good, for example), but if it is called _____ Movie, it's just about guaranteed ratshit (Epic Movie, Date Movie, Disaster Movie and so forth).

There has never been a really good "Movie" without "The," if we define "good movie" as "one which has an IMDb rating of 7 or more," but a few in that group are kinda OK, like Not Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie. Mel Brooks's Silent Movie would be the best of the lot, which isn't saying much (6.5 at IMDb). If you allow for translation from foreign languages, there would be one truly great movie on this list, which is not called "Il Cinema Paradiso," but simply "Cinema Paradiso."

Virtually every film with the word "Movie" in the title, with or without "The," is a comedy. The only exceptions that come to mind are Twilight Zone: The Movie and Dennis Hopper's notorious disaster, The Last Movie. (Nobody has ever been able to figure out what's going on in The Last Movie, so I guess it might be a comedy, but I doubt it.)
