The '98 action flick Reindeer Games (Starring Ben Affleck, Charlie Thezron & Gary Sinse) was retitled to a British audience as Deception.

More recently the fist big screen adaption of Harry Potter was titled to the British audience as 'Harry Potter & The Philosophers Stone' while in America it was titled as 'Harry Potter & The Socerers (sp) Stone'.

wicker_man>More recently the fist big screen adaption of Harry Potter was titled to the British audience as 'Harry Potter & The Philosophers Stone' while in America it was titled as 'Harry Potter & The Sorcerers (sp) Stone'.

the original book (which is english) is called '...& the Philosophers Stone' and so this is what the film was called.
however there were fears that American audiences wouldnt know what a Philosopher was so in america it was re-titled '...& the Sorcerers Stone'.

'Animal attraction' in britain is known as 'someone like you' in America

'The Madness Of King George III' was renamed 'The Madness Of King George' in the usa incase american thought it was a second sequel.

American Pie - First time (A primeira vez)
American Pie 2 - The second time (A segunda vez) - Not totally sure about this one.
Love actually - Love happens (O amor acontece)
The x files - Secrete files (Ficheiros secretos)
Playing by heart - Between strangers and lovers (Entre estranhos e amantes)
Face/Off -The other face ( A outra face)

This happens a lot here. Most of the time the tittles have nothing to do with the original version.
I'll say more latter.

The Green Mile - Unexpected Miracles (Milagros Inesperados)
The Sound of Music - The Rebellious Novice (La Novicia Rebelde)
