I watched The Day After Tomorrow on the plane last night. That is not a good movie, but I imagine mass global destruction is more satisfying on a larger screen.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

From that link:
Or go see “Up,” the only hugely successful movie of the summer that engages genuinely adult themes. It’s about loss, frustration, disappointment. And it offers one of the season’s most pointed and paradoxical lessons. If you want to make a mature film for mature audiences, make sure it’s a cartoon.
I've been telling everyone it's a movie for adults, but no one believes me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" is no. 1.
I've never heard of "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter."
WTF? "The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini"
Also,
Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid is a 1986 comedy produced by Troma Entertainment. The plot revolves around two brothers who befriend an escaped mental patient (the titular "fat guy") and accompany him on his misadventures in the big city.

Are they legitimate bad movie titles if they are done on purpose?
"The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" is no. 1.
I've seen this one (with robot silhouettes, natch). ETA, I've seen about a third of those on MST, actually.
I've never heard of "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter."
It was on a double bill with "Billy the Kid versus Dracula". Seriously.

Seen it. Part of the Beach Party Bingo oeuvre, Frankie and Annette. Basil Rathbone obviously needing to pay his bills is in it.

Isn't that the one that had Jack Palance as Dracula?

Ann, that's a ferret.
It was on a double bill with "Billy the Kid versus Dracula".
TCM showed the two as a double feature on their "TCM Underground" feature. Two truly wild movies.
And I agree with the blogger that Phffft! falls into the "when bad titles happen to good movies" category. First of all, any comedy that stars both Jack Lemmon and Judy Holliday can't be too bad.

I think it was John Carradine.
