The study focuses on the process of Turkification of foreign film titles released in Turkey. For this purpose, about 500 films included in Atillâ Dorsay's book titled Films that Changed Our Lives 2005-2015 were included in the analysis. An attempt was made to determine the strategy of renaming by examining how foreign film titles are translated into Turkish. The relationship between the name under which they were published in Turkish and the exact equivalent of their original names was examined, and an attempt was made to show the results of the renaming through differences.
