Given the alternative titles for these films, please name the more commonly known title.

These titles will all be in English and can be almost anything, e.g. working titles, english translations of foreign titles, titles of films that were released under many different names. I'm just interested in finding some fun alternative titles and seeing what you make of them.

For the time being I'm going to leave the year off, because that might make it almost too easy.

Hmm... just a wild guess, but would "Jesus Christ: Lust for Glory" be "The Last Temptation of Christ"?

Cool idea for a list, dgeiser13. But I think that "Scary Movie" is the more commonly-known title of "Scary Movie."

I just cheated and looked it up. Wow, I was way off.

I might have to clone this list, dgeiser13, just as I have stolen many of your other games. :-)

Are you sure you meant, Scary Movie?

Man, I have no idea. #6 sounds vaguely like the title of an Elmore Leonard book, but I can't take it any further than that.

jgandcag06/06/2003

Jesus Christ is Monty Python's Life of Brian. I am old enough to remeber this when it first came out...

Jim you are right on with the Elmore Leonard book. I think that is what Tarantino used as the source for Jackie Brown

dgeiser1306/06/2003

Yes.

2 - Halloween
6 - Jackie Brown (but I just now noticed I was beaten to this)
7 - Scream
8 - North by Northwest (I'm guessing here...)

Shalom, y'all!
