"Always entranced by cinema."

Hi

I'd like to do an accolade which features movies that are known by the same [English-release] title but are NOT remakes and have nothing to do with each other. I'd prefer to restrict this to films which have already been released as opposed to any still in production.

I'm thinking of films like: Them! 1954 and Them 2006

Crash 1996 and
Crash 2004

Kicking and Screaming 1995 and
Kicking and Screaming 2005

The Naked Witch 1964 and
The Naked Witch 1964

Sonia 1986 and
Sonia 2007

Love and War 2006 and
Love and War 1899

Many thanks for other suggestions.

If these are allowed, how different are the titles allowed to be?

Gosh ... didn't know about your lovely acc, Sal! I'll have to get round to achieving that some day Shall we call yours and mine complementary?!!!

To answer your question: I'm not counting punctuation ... for example the Will Ferrell version of Kicking and Screaming had an alternate release title Kicking & Screaming ... which is how it appears on the FWFR database.

Oh, yeah -- and, as per most of my accolades I'm trying to steer away from short films [especially those with no traceable plot info], and I don't really want to include made for TV or Vids either. I'll just stretch it to documentaries - like Sonia ... but I prefer mostly features.

Joan Crawford starred in two unrelated films called Possessed, in '31 and '47.

Million Dollar Legs ('32 & '39) & Million Dollar Baby ('41 & '04).

Harold Lloyd's The Milky Way and Luis Bunuel's.

There are three called Lola--Fassbinder, Demy & Donner (sounds like a law firm).

By the way, you will need to be quite picky over this one. Put any likely single word into the I.M.D.B. and you often get multiple result. (I tried Danger as a test and got three.)

Yeah ... this one may have to grow by the degrees of time I can devote to it!

But BIG THANX for your help!
