It looks like Gerard Depardieu is about to break into a song from Fiddlier On The Roof.

The movie couldn't be more opposite of it's cover.

I'm thinking okay, flirtatious girl on the cover, a romantic comedy.

This film was about women detained in convents and forced to wash laundry for "sins" they committed.

Either they're deceptive or you're jumping to wildly erronoeus conclusions. Physician heal thyself.

Nicole Kidman and Marilyn Monroe both had bit roles in these films, these covers make it look like they're the stars of movies.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most deceptive cover I have EVER seen:

Robert DeNiro was in this movie for all of 10 seconds and had about 10 words to say.

Yep, that's true. 'Twas my first post!

I couldn't resist getting that post in - the cover (after watching the movie to check out DeNiro's part) really made me laugh. And somewhat confused.

Yeah, I will. :)

MoFo, whenever I check it, always seems to have fewer posts/new threads than most forums I frequent. Either you guys prefer to keep topic numbers down and very specific, or MoFo is just a little slow recently. Dunno!

It took him that long to find a quality thread worth posting on. ;)

Great example, maybe this cover is more accurate.
