Fun Trivia : Quizzes : In Other Words : In Other Words, They're Wrong II

Introduction:
"The verbose mastermind is back! He rephrased the titles of shows, books, and films; worse, he made mistakes. For each word with two meanings, he chose the wrong one to rephrase: ?Star Wars? became ?Celebrity Battles.? Can you recover the original titles?"


1. The first movie looks like a rather sweet-spirited documentary. "Month Following February of the Flightless Southern Birds," the cover proclaims. How should that longwinded title read? Type the correct English title, without using quotation marks.
    Answer: (Four Words)


2. This title -- of a novel and of a film adaptation -- is a bit more mysterious (and ungrammatical) than the others: "Homicide on the Determine One's Bearings Traveling at High Speed." It makes much more sense in what original form?
    Answer: (5 Words)


3. This movie looks like an action thriller, but something about the title is a bit off. It reads "The Ritual Abstention from Food and the Angry." By what title is the movie better known?
    Answer: (5 Words)


4. The cover of this period drama shows stunning views and exciting scenes, but the title is significantly less exciting. "The Shoemaking Form of the New York Algonquian People" isn't going to inspire anybody! What is the correct title of this movie and classic novel?
    Answer: (5 Words)


5. An exciting-looking science-fiction movie, one of a series, carries the subtitle "The Imperium Refuses En Masse to Work in Return." That can't be right! What should it be? (Don't include the name of the series, or the number of the sequel.)
    Answer: (Four Words)


6. This action-packed movie and novel, based on a simple biological science fiction premise, achieved huge popularity in the 1990s -- but it wasn't with the name "Era After the Triassic Place a Vehicle in a Temporary Space!" What is the true title of this thriller?
    Answer: (Two Words)


7. Here's an epic fantasy film and novel, third in a trilogy, and (according to the back) a big winner at the Oscars and in people's hearts. "The Tax Filing of the Male Monarch" doesn't sound particularly epic, though! By what name did this work win all those awards? (Don't include the name of the series.)
    Answer: (5 Words)


8. Here's a rather strangely titled musical: "Festival Market Dame Belonging to Me." What could the real title possibly be?
    Answer: (Three Words)


9. Another action movie is next on the list. The back of the box proclaims how famous it is, but you've never heard of "Spinning Toy Firearm." By what name is this film better known?
    Answer: (Two Words)


10. We'll wrap up with something a little different: a poem that famously describes an ill-fated nineteenth-century military maneuver. The title, however, sounds altogether metaphysical: "The Attack of the Illumination Military Unit." Under what more sensible name can readers find this verse?
    Answer: (6 Words)
