Grant only briefly mentioned finding favorite films on IMDb under their foreign titles, but there's a certain logic in using the original language in this case. A few years ago I ran across a list of "100 films everyone should see" (or words to that effect) and had to point out to someone else that they had actually seen more than half a dozen of them; for instance, they didn't recognize Il buono, il brutto e il cattivo until I showed them the English translation. They were similarly thrown off by Wo hu cang long.
One that's continued to puzzle me from the moment I first heard about it is that the British film The Boat That Rocked was retitled for the US as Pirate Radio.
