Lol, Vietnam.
I'm stealing this off a guy on rpg.net because it amuses me and I want to see which ones get guessed.
When foreign films are brought to Vietnam, the title is rarely translated into Vietnamese. The movies are given a Vietnamese title that is sometimes more descriptive or more vague than the original title. See if you can guess the original titles of the following movies that are now showing in Vietnam (so they are probably in the cheap theaters in Western countries by now). I've translated them back into English for your convenience:
Mouse Knight
Book Page of Extraordinary Power
Tales Told at Midnight
Extraordinary Man Benjamin -- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (to alanahikaruchan)
Carried Off by Force
To Thirst for Love
