In the 1950s, Samuel Z. Arkoff found B-movie success with a simple formula that he later referred to as the ARKOFF Formula. It stated that any low-budget movie should include each of the following: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy, and Fornication. It also needed to have a killer title—and it was the title itself that often preceded anything else, including story. After all, with a name like Reform School Girl or I Was a Teenage Werewolf, do audiences really need to know any more?
Since its launch in 1992, the network formerly known as the Sci Fi Channel has adopted a similar philosophy, producing dozens of made-for-TV movies with chuckle-inducing titles that often involve the melding of two already-scary creatures or one modern-day monster and some sort of natural disaster. These are The 25 Best Syfy Channel Movies, Based on Title Alone.

25. Titanic II (2010)
Tagline: 100 years later, lightning strikes twice.
Albert Einstein once famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Which is an apropos description of any passenger willing to hop aboard the Titanic 2, a luxury liner that sets sail on the 100th anniversary of its namesake. Tsunamis and icebergs ensue. The only thing that could make this one more perfect would have been to title it Titanic II: Electric Boogaloo.
