Time To Log Off: Re-Imagining The Titles Of Great Movies As Clickbait

Great movies have great titles; the same cannot be said about great content on the internet. Many, many stories found on websites receive awful names that often belie or straight-up lie about the content found within. Because what matters isn’t the content itself, but that you clicked.

So we thought it’d be fun re-imagining classic and/or important movies as clickbait titles. How would films change, what would be the salacious meat editors pull out to grab readers?

Log off the internet if these titles sound too familiar to you.
