in the world of Cinema a film's title is
0:02
often its first chance to make an
0:04
impression while many filmmakers prefer
0:06
short and snappy titles that are easy to
0:08
remember some have embraced the opposite
0:10
approach by crafting titles so long they
0:12
almost tell the story themselves these
0:15
lengthy names become part of the film's
0:17
charm often leaving audiences scratching
0:19
their heads and wondering how on Earth
0:21
such a title could have come to be here
0:23
are the top 10 most absurdly long movie
0:26
titles that are as memorable as they are
0:28
hilarious one Dr strange love all how I
0:31
learned to stop worrying and love the
0:33
bomb
0:34
1964 Stanley Kubrick's iconic film
0:37
Doctor Strange Love is a masterpiece of
0:39
black comedy about The Madness of
0:40
nuclear warfare but what truly sets this
0:43
film apart is its unwieldy title which
0:45
seems to almost be a commentary on the
0:47
absurdity of the topic IT addresses with
0:50
a name that is almost as long as the
0:51
movie itself the title perfectly
0:54
encapsulates the chaotic nature of the
0:55
Cold War era and the film's irreverent
0:57
tone the absurdly long title has become
1:00
part of the film's Legacy making it
1:02
memorable for both its content and its
1:04
name two the assassination of Jesse
1:07
James by the coward Robert Ford
1:10
2007 this Western film about the
1:12
notorious Outlaw Jesse James is one of
1:14
the most famous examples of a title that
1:16
doesn't know when to stop the film's
1:19
name is an ironic commentary on betrayal
1:21
and heroism and it is both poetic and
1:23
excessively long the title feels like it
1:26
could be a historical novel or a true
1:27
crime Saga and it certainly sets a
1:30
serious dramatic tone however the
1:32
title's length and the way it rolls off
1:34
the tongue makes it stand out as a great
1:36
example of how sometimes a title can be
1:38
as much a statement about the film as
1:40
the film itself three the incredibly
1:43
strange creatures who stopped living and
1:45
became mixed up zombies
1:47
1964 B movies are notorious for their
1:49
over-the-top plots but this one takes
1:52
the cake for having one of the longest
1:53
and most absurd titles in cinematic
1:55
history this cult classic has become a
1:58
symbol of strange lowbudget Cinema and
2:00
the title fits the bill perfectly the
2:03
movie which involves a Carnival Barker a
2:05
mad scientist and of course zombies is
2:08
as ridiculous as its name suggests the
2:11
title practically gives away the entire
2:13
plot in one long sentence leaving
2:15
nothing to the imagination but a sense
2:17
of wonder about how such a thing could
2:19
possibly exist four the attack of the
2:22
giant leechers
2:23
1959 this 1950s Creature Feature sounds
2:27
like the plot of a child's science
2:28
fiction novel and it's title does
2:30
nothing to make it sound more serious
2:33
with such a lengthy name it almost seems
2:35
like a parody of other monster movies
2:37
the film features giant leechers
2:39
attacking people in a swamp and the
2:41
title is as exaggerated as the creatures
2:43
themselves it's hard to take the movie
2:46
seriously when the title itself is a
2:47
tongue and cheek exaggeration but that's
2:50
precisely what makes it so endearing to
2:51
fans of vintage B movies five the
2:55
Englishman who went up a hill but came
2:57
down a mountain 1995
3:00
this British comedy about a small Welsh
3:02
village and its mission to officially
3:03
make their Hill a mountain is as Quirky
3:05
as its title the lengthy name only adds
3:08
to the film's charm giving it a
3:09
Whimsical and almost nonsensical Vibe
3:12
the title itself seems to tell the
3:14
entire story which is fitting since the
3:16
plot revolves around the dispute over
3:18
whether a hill is tall enough to be
3:20
classified as a mountain it's the kind
3:22
of absurdity that becomes even funnier
3:24
when wrapped up in an unnecessarily long
3:26
title six how to kill 400 people in one
3:30
night
3:31
2003 a film with a title like this
3:34
clearly promises chaos and that's
3:35
exactly what it delivers the absurdity
3:38
of the title complete with an oddly
3:40
specific number of victims sets the tone
3:42
for the dark comedy thriller while the
3:45
premise is outrageous it's the sheer
3:47
boldness of the title that gets your
3:48
attention first the humor here comes
3:51
from the title's bluntness and the
3:52
Absurd idea of it being a how to guide
3:54
for mass destruction even though the
3:56
film's tone is far more light-hearted
3:58
than the title would suggest
4:00
seven A Clockwork Orange the making of
4:03
the 1971 movie 2002 Stanley cubric A
4:07
Clockwork Orange is a film that needs no
4:09
introduction but the behind the-scenes
4:11
documentary about its making certainly
4:13
does with the addition of the making of
4:16
the title becomes so long that it feels
4:18
almost like a subversion of Kubrick's
4:20
minimalist style documentaries about
4:22
iconic films are usually straightforward
4:25
but the excessively long title of this
4:26
one mirrors the complexity and
4:28
controversy surrounding the film itself
4:29
self it's a fitting tribute to the
4:32
elaborate and often baffling nature of
4:33
Kubrick's work eight the princess who
4:36
had never laughed 1907 this early silent
4:40
film with a title that feels like it
4:42
could belong to a fairy tale certainly
4:44
lives up to its name in terms of length
4:46
the plot is a simple one centered around
4:48
a princess who refuses to laugh but the
4:51
unnecessarily long title adds an air of
4:53
grandeur to an otherwise simple
4:54
narrative while the film is Charming in
4:57
its own right the title is both humorous
4:59
and somewhat excessive setting the stage
5:01
for a story that is anything but brief
5:04
nine the man who saved the world a
5:06
documentary about the man who saved the
5:08
world
5:09
2014 this documentary is about stanislav
5:12
Petro the Soviet officer who averted
5:14
nuclear war in
5:16
1983 but the title is so long that it
5:18
almost feels like a parody of the genre
5:21
the title repeats the same phrase which
5:23
only adds to the absurdity making the
5:26
documentary sound as though it could be
5:27
a parody of overly dramatic self- kingd
5:29
congratulatory films despite the
5:32
redundancy the documentary is deeply
5:34
compelling but its title is definitely
5:36
more of a conversation starter than the
5:38
film itself 10 this is the end my only
5:41
friend the end
5:43
1971 a long winded title for a film that
5:46
could be considered an early meditation
5:48
on the passage of time the length of the
5:50
title and the melancholic tone of its
5:52
name create an ironic contrast as the
5:54
movie delves into themes of existential
5:57
reflection it's a title that seems to
5:59
drag on on much like the philosophical
6:01
exploration within the film itself and
6:03
in a way it captures the film's
6:05
introspective and somewhat convoluted
6:07
narrative these absurdly long movie
6:09
titles prove that sometimes less is
6:11
definitely not more while they might be
6:14
hard to remember or even say out loud
6:16
these titles have carved their place in
6:18
cinema history for being as entertaining
6:20
as the films themselves whether humorous
6:23
absurd or just plain quirky these titles
6:25
show that in the world of film anything
6:27
is possible especially when it comes to
6:29
naming a movie
