Title Changes = Why, Oh Why?

Why does Hollywood often find it necessary to take great original movie names and change them to stale, cliched generalities?

Most recent case in point? Writers is now called Stuck in Love. I can't wait to see this flick, but the name change isn't doing anyone any favors.



Do any of you remember Playing By Heart? I highly recommend it, despite the fact that it's called Playing By Heart.



The original title, which makes more sense if you've seen this tender-yet-tough movie, is Dancing About Architecture.



Maybe the one that breaks my heart most is Jude Law's U.S. titled Immortality.



The U.S. passed on the creative, hauntingly original European title, The Wisdom of Crocodiles.



Here are trailers for the movies:
