20 Most Horribly Misleading Movie Titles
4. The Silence Of The Lambs
What It Sounds Like: This Oscar-winning pits quite the image when you realise afterwards what the title is really about. The Lambs - are they a gang in a crime-stricken city in possession of a powerful secret/horde of guns? Do they indeed require silencing? While theres a lot of crime going on, its got nothing to do with keeping a bunch of goodfellas quiet.
What It Actually Is: The now-classic film by Jonathan Demme does allude to the title. When cross-examined by Lecter, Clarice tells him a personal story about her upbringing on her aunt and uncles farm. Her foiled attempt to rescue a lamb before it went to slaughter forges the basis of Lecters future communications. However, its not really got anything to do with the plot.
