* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Brandon. "I'm going to Memphis, Graceland and Tennessee."

* [[Broken Aesop]]: The movie's tagline talks about "having the courage to be yourself" when the film's protagonist is a compulsive liar<ref>about all kinds of little things, but NOT his gender - he is male, although not physically</ref>, and when he does "be himself", {{spoiler|he ends up getting raped and murdered}}.
