20 Most Horribly Misleading Movie Titles
7. The Crying Game
What It Sounds Like: A low-key indie from a pre-Twin Peaks David Lynch. The worst party game ever. Everyone gathers in a circle. Someones mum hits play on a cassette of Morrisseys too-gloomy-for-consumption B-sides. The race is then on to see who can bawl the most before the song ends. Whoever fills their bucket to the line wins a packet of Kleenex.
What It Actually Is: Well, despite the monicker of this 1992 Oscar-winner, it has nothing to do with the above suggestion. Neil Jordans classic thriller explores the life of IRA member Fergus, and his dalliances with sexuality, trust and violence after he promises one of his captives that hell protect his girlfriend. A powerful flick, with the title nabbed from a scene featuring Dil (the girlfriend in question) in which she sings the song, The Crying Game.
What It Should Have Been Called: In Love And War.
