| Here's another one pertaining to character names. This is a relatively common occurrence when film-makers are trying to be edgy, so there should be lots of films to add here. |

What about a Natalie Portman pair. Certainly L�on is the best she did as a child, and I'd go with Goya's Ghosts for her adult film.
What about Judy Garland with The Wizard of Oz and then A Star Is Born.
Then you might also want to think about Liza Minnelli - she was uncredited as a baby in In the Good Old Summertime and certainly Caberet would be her best adult role. |

They're twins, but Dead Ringers is a good idea. |

Lives of Others for German.
Fanny och Alexander for Swedish.
(But you've got the Hebrew one spot on!)

I didn't know that Portman had been a child actress. I have never seen L�on but am happy to take that on trust.
Garland was too old by The Wizard of Oz, basically an adult.
I'll leave Minnelli out too -- I want to stick with people who were quite prominent in both age groups (and not just because of who they were related to!).
I had The Lives of Others in there originally -- till I remembered Run Lola Run, which I think is just amazing.
I'll add Fanny och Alexander to my list to watch.
Thanks. |

Here are two more for which I'd be grateful for suggestions.
The first is about fictional countries. They should be countries on the generally real Earth (rather than political units in space or fantasy lands) and ideally (but perhaps not essentially) should be seen in the film. They should be fictional places (even if they are very similar to specific real ones) rather than real places which are fictionally countries (e.g. Passport to Pimlico). (I'll be taking some from these lists but please let me know if any are especially apt: 1 2 3 4 5)
The second is about fictional languages. These can for now be from Earth, fantasy or space, but if there are too many fantasy/space ones I may change that or pick and choose. It doesn't matter if the actual words being spoken come from a real language; indeed, it's even provisionally all right if it's real words being used in a gobbledygook way to represent a different real language so long as the character thinks that (s)he is speaking the latter. However, they shouldn't be fictional dialects of real languages, real languages being used meaningfully to represent other ones or characters pretending to speak certain languages.
In both cases, I'm provisionally going to stick to one film from a series, although if different films feature different fictional languages (e.g. Star Trek? -- or for that matter countries), then I may include both/all. |

Million Dollar Legs--Klopstokia.
I suppose any version of The Prisoner of Zenda would qualify. |

Mike Tyson in Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles
Spielberg, Cruise, De Vito, etc... in Austin Powers In Goldmember
Cher in Stuck On You
Mind, I think this accolade could potentially run and run if you start considering spoof comedies like Naked Gun, Scary Movie, Hot Shots.
Here's more, too...
