What's a movie (or series) that lies about its genre? (self.asklemmy)

Like, a horror movie that instead of scare you makes you laugh more than a comedy.

Also, thanks to the people that answer the post, this is the easiest way to find new series and movies to watch 😁

The Princess Bride. The title does not at all suggest that this is a comedy movie.

But it isn't just a comedy! It's a romance! It's action/adventure!

Fight Club is another one like this

That title makes me think that it's a romance movie

This movie is amazing. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch it as soon as physically possible. It has romance movie elements, but is very much also comedy/adventure movie.
