I Often go to the German website "Cinema" (http://cinema.msn.de/cin) and use the Search ("Suche") feature to find pictures and caps from movies.

However, entering the American Title for a movie into "Suche" often produces no results because the German movie industry often does not simply translate the title literally into their language. German movie titles, literally translated back into English, are often totally differnt from the original movie titles.

For example: "White Man's Burden" becomes "Straße der Rache" in German which does not translate back into English as White Man's Burden. So "Suche" by original titles doesn't always find a hit even though that movie IS included on the "Cinema" website ... if you can find it!

That being established, does anyone know of a large, extensive, site that lists the German equivalents of all known American movie titles? It would have to be a man-made listing or database because translation won't work.

Thanks
