Poll: Cool but Misleading Posters
Some posters don't exactly reflect the mood of the film, some are just misleading because they give the wrong idea of what the film is about, and some are (though benignly) lying because they feature something that doesn't happen or very furtively. Which of these memorable movie posters do you find the most misleading? After voting, you may discuss the list here
