It’s highly doubtful that anyone will ever re-watch Shainee Gabel’s A Love Song for Bobby Long (‘04), a New Orleans-set relationship film costarring John Travolta and Scarlet Johansson. But I remember it vividly because of the snarky alternate title that some industry smartass coined at the time of release — Bobby Way–Too–Long.

HE is asking for other classic re-titlings of movies that ran into a brick wall — parody titles that in some cases became as well known as the originals.
