films with inappropriate titles?

I'm happy with the silence of the lambs and cuckoo's nest as they did have some point in the original books. A certain film series has some misleading titles:

1. The Motion Picture - Blimey, what a title. It's in the cinema, we're watching it on a big screen, it's a motion picture.
2. The wrath of Khan - For the most part Khan is quite calm and logical, that's what makes him so sinister. It always makes me think of the John Wayne line, you're beautiful in your wrath.
3. The Search for Spock - Well, that didn't take long. We found out where he was before the last picture ended and they spend the movie trying to get rid of him
4. The Voyage Home - Again they get the title over with in two minutes and the rest of the time they are home.
5. The Final Frontier - They went to the centre of the Galaxy, and that's inward not outward, as frontier tenRAB to imply a vast region beyond, not a small bit in the middle of something.
6. The undiscovered country - Shakespeare quote and I forget why it's not quite right, still doesn't sum up the story very well.
7. Generations - No family relation between the old crew and the new.
8. First Contact - Fine, except for the fact aliens visited earth so many damn times in various time-travel episodes this must have been the 77th time contact.
9. Insurrection - I'm not sure if anyone insurrected but if they did it was a minor bit of the plot.
10. Nemesis - I think the keys to being a nemesis are vengeance and being unbeatable, except no vengeance was going on and he lost.

Oh and honourable mention to Friday the 13th, Part IV, the final chapter and its inevitable sequel Friday the 13th, Part V, the final chapter 2.
 
Silence Of The Lambs - tenuous mention at best.
Manhunter - huh? Supposedly Dino De Laurentiis thought that if they called it Red Dragon people would think it was a martial arts movie.
The Name Of The Rose - even Umberto Eco isn't sure why he chose this title for his story. It doesn't mean anything.
A View To A Kill - the short story From A View To A Kill by Ian Fleming had nothing whatsoever to do with the film. And apart from Zorin adding "To A Kill" to Mayday's "What A View" comment, there is no reference to it anywhere in the movie.
 
The Last King of Scotland. Absolutely no sign whatsoever. And I've watched it twice - the second time at one-eighth speed. Nothing. Zip. Zilch.
 
Raiders Of The Lost Ark - The animals went in two by two, which means there should be two of every animal not a just a huge amount of snakes....
 
The Shawshank Redemption

Not an inappropriate title so much, but between that and the film poster, hardly anyone was interested in seeing the film at the cinema because no-one knew what it would be about!

Shame, as its a fantatstic film.
 
Ah, but as Chico suggested, is he called Dirty Harry cos he peeks in at Big Mary when she's seeing her boyfriend? Or as Fatso says, cos Harry hates everybody? Or as Chico later suggests, cos he gets the shit end of the stick every time...
 
a lot of these aren't really inappropiate imo. They are just more metaphorical.
e.g. the green mile was not only what the characters in the movie called the walk to the electric chair, but it felt like walking a "mile" because it is the long, slow walk to their death.
if all titles were so literal then it would be borring.
