English movies for dumb charades: 120+ Hollywood names
Mixed crowd, international school or the office team from five states? English movies for dumb charades are the common ground. Here are 120+ Hollywood movie names that Indian audiences know well, from Titanic and Jurassic Park to Avengers and Oppenheimer, sorted from easy to hard.

How to act English movie names
- Show "English". A handshake or a "hi" wave is the common house sign.
- Skip "the", "of", "a". Small-word sign (thumb and finger close), then move to the next word.
- Use "sounds like" for names. Shrek: sounds like "shriek", so scream silently. Rocky: point at a rock.
- Superheroes are poses. Spider-Man’s web shooter, Iron Man’s hand blast, Thor’s hammer. Done in two seconds.
- Long titles: act the nouns. The Pursuit of Happyness: run after something, then a huge smile.
- Act the scene. Titanic: arms wide at the front of the ship. Jaws: a shark fin on your head and the slow approach.
