Actually, there is no trick to finding movie titles, or foreign words, in Chinese. All you need to do is just search on 百度 using an English keyword. You will soon get the counterpart in Chinese.
Please be noted that there are often a few Chinese titles for a foreign movie. For example, Star Trek is usually called "星际旅行" in mainland, "星空奇遇记" in Honk Kong, and "星舰奇航记" in Taiwan.

Have a look:

Nice floppy disk! Surely, when the Large Hadron Collider was put into service, similiar scenes were to be observed :-)
