A particularly bad case of reducing to generic:
Out of Sight = Un Romance Muy Peligrosa (A Very Dangerous Romance)
Loses all the wordplay variants, slang phrase and U.S. culture references. Why not Fuera de Vista?

In this particular case:
"The Legend of the Indomitable" (La leyenda del indomable) Cool Hand Luke
I like the Spanish version of the title more than the English original, same for other mentioned in the comments, Centauros del desierto, instead of The searchers

I haven't read all the comments, I'm sure someone will have mentioned the Billy Wilder's "Some like it hot", with Tony Curtiss, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, whose Spanish adaptation was "Con faldas y a lo loco" (Going crazy in skirts, loosely translated)

"Does, say, “La agencia de ajustes” really sound so bad in Spanish? "
Yes, terrible. Bear in mind that English usually holds more meaning and direction in fewer words than Spanish. I understand this movie title was translated as "Los agentes del destino" in some Latin American countries, I find it more suitable than "Destino oculto", which, I agree, sounds like some after-lunch forgettable TV movie. "La huida" would have been a nice option if it wasn't taken.

How about: "Highlander" ---> "Los inmortales"? Spoiler alert!

For me the best was S.O.B., an American film directed by Blake Edwards. The issue is even mentioned in Wikipedia.
"S.O.B." can stand for "Standard Operational Bullshit", "Sexually Oriented Business" and more generally "Son Of a Bitch" (Hijo de Puta).
In Spain, however, the movie was called "S.O.B. - Sois hOnrados Bandidos" (You Are Honest Crooks), although the second word begins with an H, not with an O.

- Original Title: "The Manchurian Candidate".
- Spanish TItle: "El Mensajero del Miedo" (something like "Fear's Messenger").

The most ridiculous of all; Afterhours, of Scorsese, in Spain was: "Jo, que noche!" (something like, Damn, what a night!)

What about "Canción triste de Hill street" supposed to be "Hill Street Blues"?

For me, the craziest one is Robert Rodríguez's "Curdled", which became the absurd "Tú asesina que nosotras limpiamos la sangre" (something like "Focus on killing — we will take care of cleaning the blood")

My favourite:
"El crepúsculo de los dioses" (Twilight of the Gods")
= Sunset Boulevard (B Wilder)

Un clasico... "They shoot horses, don't they?" became "Bailad, bailad malditos" (something like "Dance, dance, damned you!")
