Misquotes, misreads and flat out misunderstandings are rife when it comes to movie titles. Some film titles are worse than others – here are eight movie titles everyone gets wrong.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
NOT: Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon
You can blame Pink Floyd for this one, as the Hasbro-friendly sequel is often mistakenly referred to by the hit album title. More than 2,000 people follow a Facebook group with that name!
Inside Llewyn Davis
NOT: Inside Llewellyn Davis, Inside Lewis Davis, Inside Llewyn Davies…
The Coen brothers tapped up a pre-Star Wars Oscar Isaac for their story of artistic failure in the '60s NYC art-folk scene. Maybe it's their fault for picking the relatively unusual name "Llewyn". It wasn't called Inside Lewis Davis anyway, despite what Metro and a whole bunch of other people think.
This Is the End
NOT: The End, The End of the World
Poster artists: beware changes in font sizes. Cinemagoers often referred to this movie as "The End" because that part of the title was much larger than the full name.
We're The Millers
NOT: Meet the Millers
It's the Fockers' fault. When there's a whole Reddit discussion over what your film is called, with "Meet The Millers" thrown out there as a possible option, you know people are getting it wrong.
Mulholland Dr.
NOT: Mulholland Drive
We-e-ell, we're being picky here. Of course it's pronounced "Mulholland Drive". But we could forgive newcomers looking at the poster for thinking it was about a doctor called Mulholland. David Lynch's movie takes its name from the road in Los Angeles so uses the shortened "Dr." instead of the full word "drive". It wouldn't be a Lynch film if something wasn't a little off kilter and that clearly extends to the title.
Inglourious Basterds
NOT: Inglorious Bastards
Quentin Tarantino was a fan of the 1978 movie The Inglorious Bastards and used a version of the title for his war thriller about a bunch of bloodthirsty soldiers trying to kill Nazis. He wanted to differentiate the two films so dropped "The" and went a bit mayhem with the spelling of the remaining two words, making us all Google Inglourious Basterds to check the spelling each time. He's said there's an in-story reason for the misspelling, but it's a secret.
The Last Exorcism
NOT: The Last Exorcist, The Last Exorcism of Emily Rose
Lotta people getting their exorcise on, so it's easy to get them confused. Troubled evangelical minister Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) is on his way to perform his final exorcism and is showing a camera crew how he's been faking it all these years. This is only going to get more complicated when The Last Exorcist, which stars Danny Trejo, opens next year.
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)
Okay, we're just being fussy now. Literally no one has ever used its full title.
