Alexander McCall Smith has some clever titles:

The unbearable lightness of scones
Friends, Lovers, Chocolate
Blue shoes and happiness
Tea time for the traditionally built
The Dog who came in from the cold
Unusual uses for olive oil
The two and a half pillars of wisdom

I haven't read that, but I'm sure I hate the book.

As for my nominee(s):

I've never read the book, nor have I seen the movie; in fact, I don't even know what the plot is about. But I've always love the name A Clockwork Orange (by Anthony Burgess).

Moving slightly into more modern times (and towards my favourite genre), I also like the names A Game of Thrones (by George R.R. Martin) and The Blade Itself (by Joe Abercrombie).

I like Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey.
It comes from Goodnight Irene by Leadbelly:

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I get a great notion
To jump into the river an’ drown

Strictly speaking of titles, I love

The Monkey That Would Not Kill by Henry Drummond

I have the book, but haven't read it yet. Every time I look at the title, I smile.

Not a book but the movie title "Requiem for a Dream" stuck with me for the longest time. Not sure why, it's not overly poetic and it sounds a bit broken up but it has an abstract sort of substance. Paradoxes are appealing.

On a less serious note, "The nymphos of Rocky Flats" has to be a heavy weight contender.
