Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is, in my opinion, the greatest film title. A teacher in high school told me about this film. The very moment he muttered the title I knew I had to see it. The title is just amazing. What are some other favorites?

It's got to be up there. I also agree with Bad Day at Black Rock.
Sam Fuller had a few great titles too:
The Steel Helmet
Pickup on South Street
Shock Corridor
The Crimson Kimono
"I think we've out-sophisticated ourselves out of some of the pleasures of movies."
Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill! (Hell yeah!)
Picnic at the Hanging Rock (nicely ambiguous, I think the "hanging" means "overhanging" and not "execution" here.)
When the Last Blade Is Drawn is perhaps a tad melodramatic but good name still.
How about Easter Bunny Kill Kill!
Or, Don't Tell Mum The Babysitter's Dead
Or, Stop or My Mum Will Shoot
I always liked the title of True Lies. Get it? Cos if it's a lie it can't be true. Little paradox there.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1973)
The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938)
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three....
You can even hear David Shire´s bad-ass theme in the back of your mind, everytime you think of that title.
