What made up movie title would make it hard to sell it to the public?

In a world, where a skilled assassin lives a public life as a barber to the rich and powerful. At night they pull of the most difficult hits that nobody else would take on.

Groomer.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Except it isn't made up, and it's a phenomenal movie.

Is it a continuation of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter? (Also not made up, but this one is actually bad)

No but that movie actually sounds interesting enough to look at.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was based on a book of the same name, released in 2012, and actually had a hollywood-level budget.

FDR - American Badass is a pretty good movie as well as long as you go in without super high expectations.

The only thing I remember from this movie are the crazy segways. I don't even remember them just that they were memorable.

Even the 3D was good. I'm still amazed by this:

In the images for the left and right eye, they gave the vampires slightly different pupil colours. That means when you watch it in 3D, the eyes of the vampires kind of shimmer ominously. It works great because it's only such a small detail. A larger area would be unpleasant to watch.

I've never seen another movie doing something innovative like that with 3D.

Edit: Here I found an example that can be viewed via crossy-eye method.

Pedophilia: The Musical

It's a history of the Catholic Church.

Holy shit! I'd pay to watch that.

edit: For the record, I would watch this, because it would cover the history of the Catholic Church's pedophilia ring and systematical legal issue dodging. Not for the pedophilia. That is all NSA.

Also, there is a true story movie about how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up, called Spotlight.

Foreign Student Art Film Marathon (subtitled version)

Excellent choice. The dubbed version, done of course by first year theater actors, would make it even worse.

"This Movie Sucks and Everyone Who Sees it is Stupid"

Someone get Tom Green on the phone and give him a budget

Freddy Got Fingered was a masterpiece way ahead of it’s time

Yall remember the slap-chop guy Vince Offer? Before he was telling everyone how much they'd love his nuts he was hawking his Underground Comedy Movie. It was absolutely terrible, but they sold the shit out of it on late night infomercials. Everyone who saw it is stupid. I can say this because I saw it... and it was so bad it felt like my frontal lobe died and became a black hole in my brain. I am literally dumber for having volunteered to watch it.

They knew what they were doing.

Springtime for Hitler

May I take your hats, your coats, and your….. svaaaastiiiikas?

Is the premise of this one, that we see what happened to Hitler in art school and his transition to a political occupation?

The documentary film The Producers goes into great detail about the making of it.

Jackie Chan: Pearl Harbour

Jesus - on ice!

An alarming number of people would say that this film renewed their faith in god. Granted, not enough people to prevent this film from being a net loss for the producers, but still. Yikes.

Six hours of Donald Trump talking about how he would do Ivanka if she were not his daughter

It's supposed to be "Made up movies". Not real ones.

Phantom of the Opera II: Phantom of the Phil Harmonic.

Unfortunately for everyone, Love Never Dies already exists, so it would need to be Phantom of the Opera III.

Ghost in the Belly

Muppet Terror Island

Clownfield

Prolapse Rim

Robin Hood: Men and Dykes

My Colonoscopy: An Epic Odessy

Alternative tagline: A Journey to the Center to this Garbage Heap. (Referencing me btw)

Living autopsy in 3d

It could be one of those interactive amusement park rides that sprays you.

Oh god. Thank you for that thought …

And a free bucket of entrails for the kids

A Christmas classic - Princess Switch 4: Re-swapped Once Again

Chupa... can you imagine that being a kids movie?
