Vom Winde verweht (1939)=Gone With The Wind?

192211/15/2004

Absolutely correct! :)

grandpa_chum11/15/2004

i'm gonna guess the obvious and say Uhwerk Orange is Clockwork Orange.

also a complete guess... es war einmal en Amerika = Once upon a time in america... although i'm sure it doesn't translate very closely

RosieCotton11/15/2004

Uhrwerk Orange= Clockwork Orange?
Einer flog über Kuckucks Nest=One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
Das Imperium schlägt zurück=The Empire Strikes Back?
Dumm und dümmer=Dumb and Dumber!

AJDaGreat11/15/2004

This sounds like fun! I'll get some of the easier ones...

Uhrwerk Orange = A Clockwork Orange
Einer flog uber Kuckucks Nest = One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Dumm und dummer = Dumb and Dumber (hahaha)

AJDaGreat11/15/2004

Well shoot. Guess I won't get some of the easier ones.

192211/15/2004

You are all right. :-)

# Die Früchte des Zorns - Grapes of Wrath?
# Zwölf Uhr mittags - High Noon?
Die zwölf Geschworenen - 12 Angry Men
Wie ein wilder Stier - Raging Bull?

Maybe...
Die Reifeprüfung -- The Graduate?
Der Pate -- The Godfather?
Krieg der Sterne -- Star Wars?
Stirb langsam -- Die Hard?
Eine Frage der Ehre -- Few Good Men?
Die Verurteilten -- Shawnshank Redemption?

192202/24/2005

Absolutely great guesses?!

Penny02/23/2005

#19 (sigh. This is bound to be wrong.) Auf der Flucht - is it either The Great Escape or The Fugitive?

192202/24/2005

It's The Fugitive. :-)

Penny02/24/2005

Wunderbar! And now I'm probably going to blow it: #12 - Dark City?

192202/24/2005

Schade, schade. #12 is not Dark City.
Clue?: The English title is totally different.

Penny03/13/2005

Well, New York is the most neurotic city I can think of, so here's a three-way guess for #12: Manhattan, Annie Hall, or New York Stories?

192203/14/2005

Remarkable how well you found this. It is Annie Hall. Amazing guess.

jay_b03/02/2005

I guess #6 is To Kill a Mockingbird.
