There have been only a handful of movies I’ve seen that fit this description, but I love them every time. I’ll watch a movie expecting it to be one thing, but it turns out to be something entirely different disguised as the thing I was expecting. I always love that because you don’t go in with any accurate excitations and the movie completely surprises you.

The best example I can give of this is Vanilla Sky. I watched it on a whim as a kid because it was playing on TV and I couldn’t sleep. It presents itself as I’ll never forget that bewildered feeling I had when I realized that the movie was actually something entirely different than what I thought it was.

If anyone knows of similar movies, where it’s one genre disused as another, or where things suddenly become clear and it’s not at ask what it was presented as, please share. I need more.
