In Germany what does OF mean in movie titles?

"OF" in German movie titles doesn't have a specific, standardized meaning. It's simply the English preposition "of," used in the title as part of a phrase or sentence.

Here's why it might appear:

* Direct Translation: The title might be a direct translation of a foreign film title, particularly from English.

* English Phrases: Some titles use English phrases for impact or a specific artistic effect.

* Descriptive Purpose: The "of" can be used descriptively, like "The City of Angels" or "The Day of the Dead."

Examples:

* "The Lord of the Rings" (Der Herr der Ringe)

* "The Silence of the Lambs" (Das Schweigen der Lämmer)

* "The Day After Tomorrow" (The Day After Tomorrow)

Important Note: "OF" in German titles is not related to any content rating or age restriction. The German rating system uses different labels like "FSK 6" or "FSK 16."
