I've just remembered, right
When I was in 'Nam (cue flashbacks, chopper blades overhead, Wagner) we visited a shop selling ridiculously cheap DVDs. I resisted the urge to buy a BSG box set, suspecting it might not be 100% genuine owing to the front cover depicting the Enterprise NCC-1701-D in flight alongside a Cylon BaseStar, but Ms Foxtrot and our friend Freya found a film called LXD: Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. Totally not kidding.

What ludicrous and totally self-descriptive film titles would you like to see made?

This thread is now about amusing porn titles
I own a copy of The Erotic Witch Project. Not the most imaginative of re-titlings, but it does involve three ditsy porn stars having their clothes stolen as they traipse around in the woods, the erotic witch causing them to get hornier and hornier, all filmed on their handhelds.
Oh, some of it is filmed from the POV of a GORILLA that escaped from the local zoo... Said gorilla (well, man in a cheap costume) is also seen briefly fucking a blow-up doll...

Suitably mental but nowhere near erotic enough to justify the title

Better than the original though

Much more excitingly
I have just had my copy of 70s heavy rock obscurity 'Growers of Mushroom' by Leaf Hound* delivered from France. On original costs £1500+, this is the first reissue ever and is limited to 250 copies.

Finally, something we all agree is EXTREMELY INTERESTING.

One of my most wanted records is High Rise II by Japanese rockers High Rise, from the early 80s. Someone pressed 500 more in about 2002 and they themselves are worth many hundreds of pounds. I have never seen it for sale.

I was messing around with a riff, which turned into a solid soft rock number. It was fairly amusing, until I suggested it needed more cowbell "alright now" style.

Once that was introduced we couldn't stop laughing. Turns out though, that we can do soft rock really really well. Almost embarrassingly well.
