Like, a horror movie that instead of scare you makes you laugh more than a comedy.

Also, thanks to the people that answer the post, this is the easiest way to find new series and movies to watch 😁

A lot of people think Star Wars is science - fiction. But it is fantasy.

The Princess Bride. The title does not at all suggest that this is a comedy movie.

Stalker by Tarkovsky. The description made it sound like a really cool sci-fi/fantasy, bleak adventure movie. Instead it was just a bunch of melodramatic philosophy. Pretty much nothing even remotely sci-fi happens.
