Movie titles that gave away the plot
And, sometimes, the ending
© BrunoPress
Movie titles can range from abstract to explicit. Sure, most of them do give us a hint about the plot, but some go even further when it comes to being descriptive. When we go see a movie called 'Snakes on a Plane,' we surely don't expect a rom-com. In fact, we expect to watch a movie about snakes on a plane!
And there are many more titles that give away the plot, and some even the ending of the movie. Curious? Click through this gallery and check out the movie titles that gave it away.
