Very little. Honestly, I will give just about anything a chance. And I would have missed out on some good films if I didn't watch them simply because the title didn't exactly grab me.

Very little. The only time the title bothers me is when it is misleading. Ex. Candyman: If I would've never knew what the movie was about, I would think it'd be about an Ice Cream Man or somethin. Besides that, the titles don't affect the movie for me at all.

Moderately...

I hate when cool movies have dumb titles.

P.S. I like the name Jeepers Creepers, because although it is kind of "childish" sounding, it sounds creepy to anyone whos heard the song. I don't know, I just think it's cool that a horror movie payed homage to that song.

Its really not important, but I do think when they make a great movie they should really put some thought into the title and give it a title that will really grab the audience. How many times have you passed up a movie because the title made it sound stupid? I dont think they should give the movie a really long title either.I think that can be confusing!

Maybe a couple years ago I would have said "not at all", but now it really seems like movies aren't even trying with thier titles.

Four Brothers? The Cave? Now I kind of need the title to bring me in. A good example now is Red Eye, at the end of the trailer when Cillian Murphy's eye goes red and the title comes up, it grabs you (by the way, I hate that phrase... grabs you). I would honestly say a good "moderately" to this question now.

It's not that important to me at all really. The title really serves more to catch my attention than anything else. Unfortunately, in many cases the title can be very lame (see Zombiez) and that could influence me not to watch the movie.
