Movie Titles And My Interpretation Of Them

For some reason I have been thinking about titles of movies. Some of them, obviously, aren't appropriate. If you didn't know about the movie, how would you tell what they were about from these titles?

I'll get this one out of the way because it's a personal family thing:

"Out of Africa" - what we want Husband's sister and spouse to do safely.

"Iron Man" - Yeah, right. How many men have you seen iron?

"Star Wars" - Why make a movie? You can watch 'em fight on "Celebrity Apprentice"anytime, or read about 'em in the "National Enquirer".

"Old Yeller" - Old Yeller what? old yeller dress, old yeller curtains...I could go on and on.

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - Vulgar. That's just vulgar.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" - Perverted and vulgar, see previous blog.

"James Bond: Octopussy" - O. M. G.!

All the "Rocky" movies: Went from sidekick squirrel of Bullwinkle to just plain squirrely.

"It's a Wonderful Life" - What it was before the Obama administration.

"Fistful of Dollars" - See above.

"Gone with the Wind" - If you live with a big dog, that's what you are as quickly as possible after the fact.

"101 Dalmatians" -  See above X 101.

"Giant" - Giant what? Jolly Green?

"The Quiet Man" - Yeah, right, again.

"High Noon" - Gangs doing drugs in broad daylight. They shouldn't make a movie about stuff like that.

"The Way We Were" - Now, why would we dwell on that? Isn't it bad enough to look at the pictures,  much less make a movie of our youth?

"Sixth Sense" - Okay, I digress. But that kid saying "I see dead people"? It ain't that big a deal. You can see dead people just about any day of the week, if you know where to look.

"The Grapes of Wrath" - Uh, what the heck does a bunch of grapes have to get all upset about?

"Fried Green Tomatoes" - Why are we suddenly talking about food movies?

"True Grit" - Shouldn't that be "True Grits"?

"The Wizard of Oz" - The one behind making Dr. Oz famous - that would be Oprah, the wizard.

"Jurassic Park" - Ha! Boy, are they in for a surprise.

"The Princess Bride" - An educational movie on how to get Daddy to spend as much as possible on the wedding.

"The Blob" - How Americans look the day after Thanksgiving.

"Fantasia" - How a mouse became a short term star on 'American Idol'.

"Dances with Wolves" - That should be Dance, because I don't think they'd let you last more than one.

"A Man Called Horse" - This poor guy with a long, long face.

"Elephant Man" - This poor guy who was really, really overweight.

"Batman" - WHAT is with guys having all these 'I'm an animal' fantasies???

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" - A very short, fast moving action film.

"The Parent Trap" - Self explanatory.

"Rosemary's Baby" - See above movie title.

"Jaws" - A movie about the TV show "The View". Those women ain't let a guest speak yet.

"Harry Potter" - A movie about some boy.

"When Harry Met Sally" - A movie about Harry growing up and meeting a girl. Named Sally.

"Steel Magnolias"  An educational film about how to grow really hardy magnolias.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" - Best movie. Ever.
