A number of these are old Alan Tam or Kenny Bee romances, with links to VCD covers etc containing Chinese titles.<br><br>For the ones I added, there were some characters I could not read, either because of aristic writing or unknown characters.<br><br>Will the Taiwanese films be split off into a separate Db ?<br><br>

Thanks for the list

<br><br>So, does anybody have a good plan for finding out the Chinese titles of these films? I don't think I've even heard of any of them before. <br><br>The best I can think of is to find VCD covers for them or something, but many of them may never have been released on video.<br><br><br><br>

"So, does anybody have a good plan for finding out the Chinese titles of these films?"<br><br>Here are a few possible methods:<br><br>Search for the English title at yesasia.com or layoyo.com. If you find the title, switch the page to traditional Chinese.<br><br>Look through the old box office lists at the Movieworld site. For example, the 1973 list in English is at <br>http://movieworld.com.hk/zine/Office/hkyear/hk1973a-en.shtml<br>if you find the title, make a note of the number. The Big5 list for the same year is at<br>http://movieworld.com.hk/zine/Office/hkyear/hk1973a-b5.shtml<br>(just change the "en" in the address to "b5").<br><br>The Tai Seng master catalogue movies list is at <br>http://www.taisengentertainment.com/both_word.htm <br>and has several thousand titles in English and Chinese Big5<br>(warning: this is a huge file that takes a long time to load).<br><br>

I'm puzzled as to why movies 10430, 10431 and 10433 are on the delete list. These are films which have no ENGLISH titles. Dozens of films made in HK every year have no English titles. All we could do with these is to give it a literal English translation, or perhaps a loose general translation.<br><br>Also, we've managed to add quite a few Chinese titles to this list.<br><br>There are some more which I can get, but I need more time. The source where I can get them is difficult to deal with. Extend the time period and I'll see what I can do.<br><br>
