| Good morning everybody.
I�m preparing a game for my english lessons and I need your help with names of tales�characters such as Cinderella or Snow White. Do you remember other names, please?
I also need the titles in English of important or well-known films such as Gone with the Wind or Dancing with Wolves or so on. I need titles which are different in different languages. For instance, Titanic or Pretty Woman wouldn�t be of help to me.
By the way, does any of you know how these office terms are called in Spanish?
Water-cooler, desk tidy and erasure.
Oh, and to finish, how is this term called in English? Planchas para (alisar) el pelo?
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the questions. | |

I �m not sure this is what you want but other heroines from fairy tales are
sleeping Beauty or Aurora, Beauty (from Beauty and the Beast), Gretel, Rapunzel,
Little Red Riding Hood.
And Heroes would be Prince Charming
These are from fairy tales. If you want more from the Disney films that �s different.
Some classic films are The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, MAry Poppins
and some a bit more recent: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Raising Arizona, The Silence of the Lambs, V is for Vendetta |

- Doc
- Happy

Water-cooler - es el dispensador de agua, or esa botella grande que encuentras en las oficinas que tiene agua fr�a.
Planchas para alisar el pelo son "Hair irons" or Straightening irons"
"The Sound of Music"!!! Very different title in Spanish!

Zora - love your Spanish for water-cooler! That �s probably what I would say!
The Sound of Music is Sonrisas y lagrimas in Spanish if I remember correctly!

@Ishorton... I actually looked it up and I was like "Nobody calls it a refrigador de agua!" - Or at least my colleagues didn �t when we had one... but truthfully, I can �t remember what we did call it. Probably just "la botella de agua."

I think the Spanish for The Sound of Music is different in different countries. I learned it as "La Novicia Rebelde" (I hope I �ve spelled that correctly).
