17 Movies With Titles That Straight Up Lie to You (MovieWeb)

"Movie titles help us test the waters when it comes to the tone and setting of a movie. But sometimes, for better or worse, film titles can mislead. We've decided to sum up movie titles that are the cinematic equivalent of a bait and switch. Their names suggest one thing and the movie delivers something rather peculiar – whether it is surprising, confusing, or blatantly frustrating, is mostly subjective. With that said, as with any striking, smokescreen book jacket or album title, an oddly misleading title isn't always a bad thing. If done well and for the right reasons, the end result may be pretty good and leave audiences bewildered and impressed. These movies may end up being more memorable and thought-provoking than one with a transparent and straightforward title. But as you keep reading, you'll see that this isn't the case with the craft and downright duplicitous titles on this list." - movieweb.com
