Long time back, i had read an article with a title "Why hindi doesn't rock" (for which I am not able to re-locate the URL). I always wanted to make this point. Whenever we translate any game's name or hollywood movie name to hindi, why does it sound so hilarious !!! Here is a list of few most popular hollwood movies with their names' Hindi version !!! I had to take some help from here and there before compiling this list. You are free to correct me or to add some more in the list. Enjoy !
