Next I want to mention the famous horror short story writer M R James,
who was a Cambridge (UK) don for many years and wrote his stories
initially for his own and his students’ amusement. He wrote several
fabulous stories, and the two with the best titles in my view are:

A Warning To The Curious

and

Whistle And I’ll Come To You, My Lad

Another English author that I believe came up with some great titles
was H G Wells, and the following titles relate to three of his best
known works:

The Shape Of Things To Come
War Of The Worlds
The Time Machine

The first is, to me, the most ominous title you could think of. Just
six words convey a feeling of fear of the unknown, a kind of
helplessness, and at the same time a kind of compulsion to find out
more. The word “shape” plays on the human subconscious fear of shapes
that cannot quite be made out. “Things” is equally vague, yet
threatening by way of its very vagueness (e.g. “The Thing From The
Black Lagoon”), and “To Come” plays on our instinctive fear of the
future – of things that may come to pass.

The other two titles are brilliant and simple at the same time. They
sum up in three words and four words exactly what the story is about,
but also create enough curiosity to compel the casual browser to reach
out and pick up the book (or film).

Other titles that I think are brilliant are:

The Running Man
The Fourth Protocol
The French Connection
The Italian Job
Midnight Cowboy
On The Waterfront
