Films that the title made you want to see.

**cassidy** · 19-10-11 10:18 PM

How about a thread on films that the title made you want to go and see, and while I'm not talking about Dracula and Frankenstein etc which were well publicised, I mean films where the title made you sit up and think "that sounds great, I've got to see it". My memories as a very young film fan are "Where No Vultures Fly" and as an early teen "X the Unknown" and "Blood of the Vampire" all of which I was drawn to see by the titles alone.

Zombie Flesh Eaters. I just had to see a film called that.

And it didn't disappoint.

My local flea pit had a film advertised called "Take Your Clothes Off & Live".

This was about 1965, I was 10 & of course they wouldn't let me in!!

See Take Your Clothes Off and Live (1963)
A typical excuse to show some naked flesh (usually female):
"Several attractive girls travel, by various means (plane, vintage car, hitch-hiking), to a nudist camp in the South of France."

I love "vintage" car! Just in case you were in two minds about going.

Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia just had to be watched when it came on the TV years ago.

Things to do in Denver When You're Dead was another one, but more recently

I watched A better Way to Die, largely because of the title (having never heard of it before) too.

Those last two are very much amongst my favourite recently-modern movies now.

Good job wadsy was only 10 and couldn't get in. Think how he might have been corrupted at such a tender age !!

A "must-see" double bill that Michael Aspel claimed to have seen was I Married a Monster from Outer Space and Lucky Me.

"Grip of the Strangler" 1958 with Boris Karloff had me racing to the Gaisford Cinema in Kentish Town.

In Bruges. I had recently spent a holiday there and wanted to see the film purely to catch glimpses of this beautiful town. Amazingly, I loved the film and almost forgot to look for familiar landmarks.

Hercules Against The Moon Men

"In ancient Greece a race of evil aliens from the Moon land on Earth. For years they have terrorized the city of Samar, demanding children for sacrifice. Now, the queen of Samar has made a pact with the Moon Men to conquer the world and become the most powerful woman alive. However, the residents of Samar, sick of all the chaos, cheer when the mighty Hercules shows up to put a stop to it all."

The Internecine Project (1974) James Coburn

Just sounded totally intriguing

**cumberbatches_woman** · 21-10-11 04:36 PM

Nowhere Boy ( 2009 ) very good film but u would never know from the title it was about John Lennons life.

**sidney bliss** · 21-10-11 04:58 PM

I watched this the other week. It's part of the "Warriors" box set. Interesting that Alan Steel (Hercules) is actually Sergio Ciani an Italian actor/bodybuilder

as opposed to the usual American or British import. The female leads in these films (Anna Maria Polani in this one) are invariably absolutely gorgeous!!
