Abstract
The study focuses on an unfairly neglected area of research: the analysis of film title translations. A corpus of 606 titles was analyzed to identify the most commonly used translation strategy for translating film titles in Croatia and the reasons behind the strategies employed, with a special emphasis on the role of the film genre. Contrary to what was expected, free translation was found to be the most employed translation strategy, whereas the motivation for changing titles was attributed to linguistic and cultural differences, commercial interests and genre explication.
