changed movie titles for American market?

[Fat Tone]

Can someone please help? I thought I saw a list on here but a search isn't helping!

I'm looking for a list of movies that have different titles in the UK and US releases.

Anyone?

TIA

Tony.

I don't know where you can get a list, since it's really quite common. But if you look up a movie on www.imdb.com, you can find all of its released titles.

Two that come to mind are Army of Darkness and Harry Potter.

Hi Rob

I already tried IMDB, but it wont give me a list - I'm sure I've seen one on here, or at least a link to one. Some of the all time classics are on it - 'Ice cold in Alex' for example.

BTW, do Americans know what a philosopher is?

Cheers

Tony.

Mr. Andrews,

You're probably looking for something like

Well thank you, Mr Julius, that list (below) is a start, but I know there's a longer one somewhere:

UK title----US title)
The woman on pier 13 ------- I married a Communist
The man I married ------------- I married a Nazi
The trials of Oscar Wilde ---------- The Man with the Green Carnation
Ice cold in Alex----------- Desert attack
Drake of England------------ Elizabeth of England
Went the Day Well---------------Forty Eight Hours
Monte Carlo or Bust---------Those daring young men in their Jaunty Jalopies
See you in hell darling---------An American Dream
I live in Grosvenor Square-------A Yank in London
What a Man----------Never give a sucker an even break
The Transvestite------Glen or Glenda


Any more ?

Was Drake's first name really Elizabeth? I thought it was Francis

"Drake of England------------ Elizabeth of England"

Very funny Ant. BTW wasn't he her very close "friend"?

You are thinking of Billy Connolley & Victoria
