What Your Favorite Movies Were Almost Called

Pretty Woman - was almost called "3000" (the amount of money paid for a week's worth of the hooker's "company").
  1. Back to the Future - was almost called "Spaceman from Pluto" because the studio believed that no movie with the word "future" in the title had ever succeeded at the box office.

  2. Tootsie - was almost called "Would I Lie to You?" because of several scripted rewrites.

  3. Boys Don't Cry - was almost called "Take It Like a Man", but thanks to a Cure song on the soundtrack "Boys Don't Cry" came out a winner.

  4. Help! - was almost called "Eight Arms to Hold You" because Help was already registered so they added an exclamation point.

  5. The Grapes of Wrath - was almost called "Route 66" due to the use of the historic highway during filming.

  6. Annie Hall - was almost called "Anhedonia" which is the scientific term for the inability to experience pleasure. That's Woody Allen for you.

  7. Blazing Saddles - was almost called "Tex X" as a play on civil rights leader Malcolm X.
