Default Cryptic movie titles

Shakespeare: "What's in a name?"

skp: Pretty well everything.... as I doubt that the popular movies set out below would have done very well at the box office if they were titled as set out below.

...anyway, maybe you guys could figure out the actual names of the following cryptic movie titles:

1. Stony

2. To get a little additional dough

3. The first meal group

4. I don't want a cardiologist

5. The hue of lettuce

6. Precipitation dude

7. Hack

8. Audigit

9. Irate bovine

10. Serrated border

We have a winner!

The one you missed was "For a few dollars more" as one of the others pointed out.

By the way, Dr. No was mistranslated by the Japanese where the movie in fact was called "I don't want a doctor" when it first came out...hehe

speaking of translations: when Purdue's slogan "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken" was used in Mexico, it came out as "It takes a sexually aroused man to get a chicken amorous."
