Takes a little basic knowledge of films and not DVD's

I do not care about DVDs (as covers+ discs), and have a collection of movies. I do not know what is original title for you. For me and for most of people, it is the title used in the CoO when the movie was released. Your English titles, in the examples you gave, are just alternate titles for foreign (outside CoO) countries.

Interesting argumentation. But it would be better to explain what is, for you, an original title, and why my definition makes you laugh so loudly...

It's avery simple. ateo357 is American. Therefore everything that can be somehow attributed to America is American. So if there's a movie where people speak English, it must be American.

Remember when Checkov on the original Enterprise attributed everything in history to be of Russian origin? Well, Americans aren't that different from Checkov.

Hi,

To be brutally frank here, this film is called EDGE OF TOMORROW.

Minor correction:
To be brutally frank here, this film was called ...

According to IMDb and several   others the feature got renamed.

The reason for this is of no interest to us.
So please (with a lot of sugar) ... STOP MIXING UP DVD AND ORIGINAL TITLE and use sort and original title if you can't live with the studio's decision.
(screaming is intended, since obviously silence doesn't get through)

After all, as you so kindly pointed out, "this isn't rocket science", for the online profile stick to the rules and do whatever changes you like locally only.


EDIT:
Oh and obviously even the spine shows LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. as (at least) part of the title, something I never heard of a tagline to happen to.



Strange enough this doesn't seem to be the first title change to happen to this feature.

It isn't based on Production company, CoO, where it was released first or anything but what the original title is.


Original title: the name given to a film in its country of origin upon release, thus the term "original title".

a few examples -

original title: Per un pugno di dollari (released in Italy in 1964)
- released (English dubbed version) in the US in 1967 as A Fistful of Dollars ( a literal translation of the original title)
- released in Japan in 1965 as Koya no yojimbo ( a reference to its source material, Kurosawa's Yojimbo)

original title: Young and Innocent (released in the UK in 1937)
- released in the US in 1938 as The Girl Was Young

original title: The Dark Eyes of London (released in the UK in 1939)
- released in the US in 1940 as The Human Monster)

original title: Le fatiche di Ercole (released in Italy in 1958)
- released in the US in 1959 as Hercules

original title: Tell Your Children (released in the US in 1936)
- re-released in the US at a later date as Reefer Madness)

Yes, the film is. The DVD apparently is not.

The beauty of DVDP is the option to enter data as "you" see fit....for me, always original titles, never what is actually written on a DVD cover (these I cross reference)

Thank goodness I have no intention of getting this title!

Same here.
I suppose I prefer to watch the original (Groundhog Day)
