Welshification explained
You may be wondering what this site is all about. In short, it's a folly. If the humourously modified film titles make any sense to you, or even makes you chuckle, then you're probably Welsh or at least know Wales. If you've never been to the beautiful country of Wales (or Cymru, as it's known in the native tongue) then why not? It's great. By the way, Welshification is not a real word, we don't think.
| Taffywood is a game my brother Al and I began playing one night out, years ago, in a Cardiff nightclub. "We were in Soda Bar, bored, and drinkin' like fools when we saw a guy who looked exactly like Tom Cruise," remembers Al. "So one of us said, 'Imagine if Tom starred in Welsh versions of all his films while he's here on holiday.' I did say we were bored..." And inebriated, clearly. Strangely, it turns out that Tom Cruise is actually Welsh. (Should have known really, given his height...) |

Please note: as far as we know, Tom Cruise never actually visited the long-since-closed Soda Bar on St Mary Street, let alone work there as barman. He may have preferred Charles Street.

So, if you enjoy wordplay and puns, then seeing how many film titles you can Welshify to comic effect becomes kind of addictive. If you like this site, please mention it to your mates. And please let us know if you have any good ones (films I mean, not friends - we have plenty of those, believe it or not). After all, that's why we made this. You'll find us at the bar (though you could use the Suggestion form) — Christian |

A-Z Fuzzy Logic
If the first letter of a film's title has been changed due to its Welshification it will remain under the letter with which the film originally began. So for example, Treforest Gump (one of our early and enduring favourites) is listed under F. In this way people can easily check if their suggestions have already been listed and what various permutations on any one film title have been thought up. Hey, it made sense at the time.
