10 Worst Movie Titles Of All Time

9. xXx

Even just searching for images that were appropriate for Rob Cohen's amusing neo-spy jaunt proved a challenge, because as everyone knows, typing "xXx" into a search engine is going to result in Vin Diesel's face being occasionally strewn through an index of smutty images. The title was widely-ridiculed upon release, and given the sheer number of names they could have given a lame-brained flick like this and still turned heads, was it really necessary to try and disrupt the Internet's porn infrastructure? It doesn't even really work on a second level, either, because the film is pretty tame as far as action goes; enjoyable, yes, but there's little blood and no nudity - it is perfectly pitched towards a PG-13 crowd who might even be too young/naive to find the title amusing anyway. Which I guess is sort of the point.
