People here love to search exceptions and twist them in all manners... No that's what you are doing right now. Because in YOUR collection it's little than 0.5%, that doesn't mean it's also the same for other contributor's collections. For instance, in my collection it's the other way around. In Holland the DVD titles are most of the time directly taken from the movie credits and not translated into the local language like the French, German etc. do. So I don't twist the rules, I just mention the facts, and that are the rules whether you like it or not. | | | Cor |

I agree... whether people like it or don't there is 2 separate rules for using the field for 2 separate occasions. Neither one more important then the other. | | | Pete |

Original title field is not the theatrical title. It is the title in the country of origin. Wouldn't the 'original title' be the theatrical title? I mean, when a film is released, that is the first title it is shown under. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

You are quite always in the case "dvd title = original theatrical title" and quite never in the case of modified title rule that you quoted.

Bangarang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![](/images/emoticons/devilish.gif) I can easily guess what is the original title of : 2001 : A Space Odyssey Alien Aliens Alien 3 Alien Ressurrection American Beauty Blade Blue Velvet Bonnie and Clyde ... and several hundreds other title of the same kind... ![](/images/emoticons/wiseguy.gif) | | | Images from movies |

That's why we need a new field for DVD Title (as well as Original Title and Film Credits Title). I agree with that suggestion. For example, a hypothetical situation: the German DVD is called "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod", however it contains a print which has the title in english "Once Upon a Time in the West", but the film's original title in it's CoO is "C'era una volta il West" - which one do we put in Original Title as the rules call for both titles? |
