25 Most Inventive Movie Taglines

Movie taglines can be an awesome and sometimes memorable marketing tool when used correctly of course. They are a great way to promote a film as well as give potential audiences an idea as to what the tone of the film will be like.

Usually the funnier the tagline the more likely you will get a bigger audience. (which sadly does sometimes lure an unsuspecting audience in to a really bad movie – grrrr)
