We all know how the adult movie industry renames films (e.g. Shaving Ryan's Privates etc) but can anyone name any mainstream movies whose titles could be taken to be other than family entertainment.

The only one's I can think of off the top of my head are

Shaft
Free Willy
Fiddler on the roof

When I was a kid I loved Burt Reynolds movies. (Yeah, I know.) I always wanted to rent a film called THE BEST LITTLE WAREHOUSE IN TEXAS and could never understand why my dad wouldn't rent it for me from our local video store. I realised why only years later.
