^ "It's 'Hunger' because it's the fight for survival and the contestants need to get food for themselves and hunt and if they don't they go hungry. It could also be interpreted as the contestants being 'hungry' for victory, hungry to win." (Yahoo! Answers)

This is not the end of the story or the last Friday the 13th movie. Not even close.

Winter's Bone

What it was: A western-style film noir about a teenage girl who searches for her missing father before custody of her younger siblings is handed over to law enforcement.

What I thought it was about:
A movie set in the future where the winter season rarely occurs.

Cinderella Man

That title makes it sound like it is about a male version of the fairy tale instead of the story of a boxer.
