It can be challenging to evaluate a film solely based on its original title, especially in today’s era where many films are released under a “hashtag” or traditional names. However, it is hard to believe that the original title of a film would be disregarded and changed for various reasons, primarily for better reception. For example, if “Back to the Future” had retained its original title “Spaceman from Pluto,” it is unlikely that many people would have been interested in watching it. Below is a list of 26 outstanding Hollywood films, including some classic Oscar-winning films, whose titles were dramatically altered:
