Most misleadingly titled movies

War of the Roses featured neither Yorkists or Lancasters

Equilibrium. Not a movie about games theory, let me tell ya. Not really Zen, either.

Gothika. Humm, where are the goth chicks ? That’s the only reason I went and saw that POS. They **lied **to me.

Once were warriors. Decidedly not a high fantasy fairytale.

Here’s a movie called Liverpool, that’s probably bound to disappoint some Beatles fans:

It’s about Tierra Del Fuego.

*Saturday Night Fever *only showed one hospital shot, and the patient was in for being on the wrong end of an ass-beating.

And for you old-school network/cabling gurus:

*Terminator *was not about an electrical component.

It is east of Java, though. OK, I guess it’s closer if you go west, but if you head east, you’ll get there eventually.

Nor did it have anything to do with sunrise or sunset.

(Astronomy geek joke.)

There was disco dancing in it so maybe it was…

Snatch had nothing to do with female genitalia.

The eagle has Landed was not an ornithological film.

** 8 Days a week ** was not about the Beatles

Well, there was lunch though:

(The infamous Ally Sheedy sandwich)

BTW, was that really lunch? I have not seen the movie for a long time but weren’t the kids on detention for the morning? So while that scene was “lunch”, was the scene taking place in the morning and it was technically “breakfast” for some of the students?

Trainspotting,brilliant movie but was very disappointed as I rather hoped that I’d get to see at least one 4-6-4 King Alfred class steam locomotive with reciprocating overhead none return valves.
(You know the ones I mean,the hand easy gear lever is on the RIGHT hand side of the controls)

And not ONE of the characters wore an anorak and carried a weak orange drink in a plastic container.
It quite spoiled the entire film for this poster at least.

How is that misleading, what two words would better describe that movie?

The title makes more sense in the book.

Not a movie, but The Story of O is not about Oprah or her magazine.

AMC last night was showing a 1967 movie which starred Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson, plus virtually every second-tier actor who appeared regularly on late sixties TV shows like Mannix and Marcus Welby. The movie itself was titled Point Blank, when it actually should have been called Out Of Range, or more accurately, Wretchedly Dull Drama Occurring In Darkened Rooms.

It actually got good reviews. :rolleyes:

UH… it actually was a movie, as well. Or so I hear.

I haven’t seen it, but from the trailer:

. . . it looks like he brandishes a gun while using his free hand to shove a guy around, and then he shoots multiple people at point-blank range, plus he brandishes a gun while using his free hand to shove another guy around, and he smacks yet other guys upside the head with his gun, and there’s also the time he brandishes a gun while using his free hand to shove yet someone else around, plus he shoots a bunch of stuff off some guy’s desk while sitting right next to it.

What’s the rest of the movie like?

I have seen it many times and IMO is a totally brilliant movie but not for people with weak stomachs.
