Film faux pas

Yesterday I heard someone mention National Velvet.

I immediately had a thought: Wouldn't it be awkward if somebody went to pick up National Velvet and ended up with Blue Velvet?

Post your own examples of movie title confusion.

Nearly every porn film title I've ever heard (OK, I've not heard that many) qualifies.

That's too easy. (Not to mention intentional on the part of the artistes.) Legitimate film only (whatever that means).

P.S. Where I come from, we watch them. But whatever floats your boat.

Meant to get The Wild Bunch, picked up Wild Hogs.

Wanted My Dog Skip, rented Reservoir Dogs (or Dog Day Afternoon.)

Wanted The Secret Garden but rented Secret Window.

Wanted "Star Wars: Episode 5", got Episode 1,2,3, or 6 instead

Wanted the HBO movie, Truman starring Gary Sinese, ended up with The Truman Show.

Does wanting the original and renting the remake count?

Wanted Monsters, Inc. but rented Monster-In-Law.

Went in for "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", but got "Se7en"

Wanted to see Santa Claus but got Bad Santa.

Only if it results in completely appalled and offended viewers. :angel:

Wanted 6 Weeks. .. got 9 1/2 Weeks

Wanting to get any movie and ending up with Georgia Rules.

Man, that movie was terrible.

Wanting Das Boot and getting Titanic, then throwing up saccharine crap all night:lol:

Go in for "Crash" with Deborah Kara Unger, but end up with "Crash" with Sandra Bullock.

I didn't know Truman show was a remake. I'd like to see the original, Gary Sinese is a fabulous actor.
