New game! Famous Film titles!

Question

Hi everybody!

I've just come up with a new game . It involves translating for yourself and for others (what a great combination!). Let's translate famous filmtitles into Spanish so that the next person has to uncover the original title and post a new title for the next person to uncover. For example:

If I were to talke about the film The Sound of Music I would translate that as El sonido de música. Films have often been renamed to different titles in Spanish but the starting point of this game is the original English title. It's all about the exercise of translating something familiar into Spanish and the fun of others to recognise the title. And of course, the fun of seeing how long a game can continue For the purpose of preventing confusion feel free to search the web for the Spanish title but that is not the main focus of this game.

I'll start with an easy one :

El Padrino

Anyone? Have fun!

Saludos, Chica

Answer 1

Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Beastmaster

The translation is a bit of a stretch on this one, so I'll give a clue: Maude Adams stars as the title character.

La milla verde - The Green Mile /

Bailando con Lobos??

Chica, this one is going to take off, great idea! - Yeser007, Feb 8, 2010

Thanks :) I tried some other challenges with varying succes. This idea just seemed fun! Wouldn't you erase your translation of Bailes con lobos for the next person to translate? - chicasabrosa, Feb 8, 2010

Yesero, you are not supposed to give the answer to your own movie - 00494d19, Feb 8, 2010

What was I thinking???? Forgive me I just woke up. - Yeser007, Feb 8, 2010

in argentina the movie was translated as Danza con Lobos. - juluque, Feb 9, 2010

Dances with wolves is one of my alltime favourite films :) - chicasabrosa, Feb 10, 2010

Answer 7

Por Quien Doblan Las Campanas = For Whom the Bell Tolls

Next movie: Cara Cicatriz

I think "Cara con cicatriz" could be a good translation. What do you think? - Benz, Feb 8, 2010

Isn´t it "Scarface" ? - ian-hill, Feb 8, 2010

Answer 8

Breaking the Ice / Happy Feet

This game is going to require some research. - Yeser007, Feb 8, 2010

Fidalgo, do not get into people's posts making corrections!!! - 00494d19, Feb 8, 2010

Answer 9

That is what we must do, translate the title, and then find on the web, if we don't know, the real title. Sometimes it is very different.

Martini, I corrected Maria¡s post. Next movie:

Casablanca

Answer 10

Nice thread, chica, one good idea is to make a translation, and then find the actual name by which the film was opened in the country, sometimes very different

El Padrino: The Godfather

Crepúsculo??

corrected;) - 00494d19, Feb 8, 2010
