	"To Kill a Mockingbird" is 1962.

	MovieDynamic:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 08:28 GMT	5 points
	And "It's a Wonderful Life" is 1946.

	papageno:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 08:36 GMT	3 points
	And The Third Man is 1949. Fact checking?

	MovieDynamic:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 08:37 GMT	3 points
	Well, that could go both ways... it actually came out in 1949 but didn't reach the U.S. until 1950.

	Courtroom Drama, early 60s, Spencer Tracy. Why isn't it accepting 'Inherit the Wind'? UGH!! I'm a year too early.

	jleezy:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 08:51 GMT	-2 points
	Bonnie and Clyde definately threw me off especially with the surrounding films I was thinking Bugsy but it was too early.

	smacaskill:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 09:47 GMT	2 points
	@chumley: I tried Inherit the Wind at first as well. Finally remembered the name of his other big courtroom drama of the time.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 10:12 GMT	2 points
	I always get Laura and Rebecca mixed up, and I tried the wrong one here. I also forgot Dennis Quaid was in the sports one. Good quiz.

	chikka2:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 11:08 GMT	1 point
	terrific quiz...National Velvet came out in 1944 and the star of the 1979 movie was arguably Dennis Christopher

	random_cloud:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 11:17 GMT	2 points
	was thrown by the al pacino 1974 movie - didn't think about sequels - esecially as his 1983 movie brought up 2 answers.

	Hal_10000:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 11:31 GMT	8 points
	The problem with this quiz is that the categories are very slippery and the rules seem to change on a whim. Is Field of Dreams fantasy or sports? Why are both parts of Godfather included by only one part of LOTR? A lot of arbitrariness here.

	the third man came out in 1949...

	madhatter22:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 12:35 GMT	1 point
	Kicking myself for missing Breaking Away - I love that movie. I kept thinking Dennis Quaid/Football. I got 50, but didn't get all 10 in any category. Very fun quiz. =)

	Jerry Maguire is NOT a Sports Movie. Can we all agree to drop that idea? Cool.

	newenglander:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 14:53 GMT	2 points
	Hal_10000: I think thats because AFI hasnt updated since the early 2000s

	YourMom:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 16:04 GMT	-2 points
	No Casino for Gangster Movies?

	Marcus13:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 17:49 GMT	4 points
	AFI sure has a hard-on for James Stewart.

	jennifer8:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 18:05 GMT	0 points
	Wow - lots to quibble with with regards to the AFI's choices, but fun quiz, Sporcle. No Braveheart or Last of the Mohicans under Epics? Instead, Reds?

	No Rudy for sports? greatest football movie ever

	bostnboy3:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 18:59 GMT	2 points
	Agreed. Jerry Maguire is NOT a sports movie. Where's Remember the Titans, or Rudy?

	bostnboy3:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	-4 points
	the AFI is way too obsessed with movies pre 1960...

	fasttrack:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	-4 points
	What? no days of thunder? no nascar 3-d?

	Fitz:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:24 GMT	6 points
	The whole genre debate is a bit limiting. The Godfather is a gangster film, but also has elements of family melodrama. Any great film is going to be more than one narrowly defined genre. 12 Angry Men spends about sixty seconds in an actual courtroom. Is it still a 'courtroom drama'? Who cares, it's a great film.

	ryanh221:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 19:34 GMT	2 points
	Much harder than I thought it would be. Classifications of movies is very subjective.

	lcg283:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 20:49 GMT	-2 points
	These movies a ridiculous just because a movie is old doesn't mean it' classic. How is their no Rudy in sports or Friday Night Lights both of these movies are better than any of the sports movies. How was the Sixth Sense not in mystery.

	Ben:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 21:56 GMT	1 point
	Field of Dreams. Rudy. Horrible list.

	Thatjuiceman:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 23:16 GMT	4 points
	No "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" or "The Natural"???

	Sneuticles:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	2 points
	Gee, was Alfred Hitchcock any good at directing? I forget.

	Baghdad is misspelled.

	silver1881:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 03:34 GMT	0 points
	Cannot imagine why Jerry Maguire is included in the sports movies but Slap Shot is not. (Not the fault of the quiz maker, obviously! But still troubling.)

	Miana90:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 05:25 GMT	3 points
	Very disappointing to see no jurassic park... lol.

	kingstony:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 06:09 GMT	0 points
	I didn't realize that Chinatown was a mystery

	Miss Twist:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 08:28 GMT	-1 points
	58 out of 60, go me! Lots of good films on these lists!
