In this paper we extend the well known results on the existence and regularity of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for Monge-Ampere equations in a strictly convex domain to an arbitrary smooth bounded domain in R' as well as in a general Riemannian manifold. We prove for the nondegenerate case that a sufficient (and necessary) condition for the classical solvability is the existence of a subsolution. For the totally degenerate case we show that the solution is in C11(Q) if the given boundary data extends to a locally strictly convex c2 function ori Q. As an application we prove some existence results for spacelike hypersurfaces of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in Minkowski space spanning a prescribed boundary.
