Gravity featured almost none.

This one is my biggest pet peeve. Same thing with the book. Totally off.

I always found Ten Commandments to be incredibly frustrating. They don't even show up until the end! What was the last 5 hours about?!

Also, Star Trek: The Voyage Home...unless home is turn of the century San Francisco, not even close to the topic of the film.

An actual one- Abbott and Costello Go To Mars. They don't, they go to Venus.

As Good As It Gets, it's turns out, had a number of areas that could have been slightly improved.

Neither The Man Without a Face nor The Man Who Wasn't There was a Trey Stokes biopic. 

Bourne Ultimatum had no ultimatum in it.

Brazil.... wtf?

11 hours later, you still don't actually see the Lord of the Rings.

And Lionel Hutz sued them for false advertising over it, don't forget.  So justice was done there.

Personally, I was disappointed by how close they kept to the script in Say Anything.  Maybe because it was a writer-director.

Troll 2 famously featured goblins and not trolls.

Beetlejuice has almost nothing at all to do with the guts of any insects.

Inherit the Wind is not about a probate case in which wind is a part of the deceased's estate.

I'm pretty sure no one lost or found a whole entire planet in either The Lost World or The New World.

By the end of The Muppets Take Manhattan, one would be hard-pressed to argue that the Muppets have taken even a significant portion of Manhattan.

Layer Cake has nothing to do with baking a delicious dessert. It is about gangsters.

Not even joking. I was thinking of this last night.

And what about How I Met your Mother? Probably the most egregious offender to date as we have NEVER met the mother and should have been called How I slept with a bunch of girls and got all these STDs. Don't do this kids

Apocalypse Now - No apocalypse. Not now, not ever.
The Breakfast Club - No breakfast. No club.
Goodfellas - Seemed like pretty bad fellas actually.
Home Alone 2 - No one in this movie was ever home alone.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - Should be Scott Pilgrim vs. 7 people.

I don't know, should I? Should I be a smartarse dick? Oh sure-

The Breakfast Club refers to the fact that they are there in Saturday morning detention. And there is a group of them, hence 'club'.  The subtitle to Home Alone 2 is 'Lost In New York' which is what the actual story is. They just use Home Alone 2 because it's the second film.

I'm sorry, I am so so sorry
