	Holden should be under soldier. Yes, he was a POW, but not a criminal like the others.

	Why does this quiz accept the movie for some (I typed "Patton" instead of "Scott" without thinking and it accepted it), but not for others (I couldn't remember the name of the actor for Yankee Doodle Dandy but it wouldn't take the name of the movie)?

	The bad part of having the last names accepted box checked is that people can type the last word of the movie title, which in some cases is the whole movie title (e.g. Gladiator, Patton)

	1) Woo freakin hoo!!!!! Published 2) Looking back on it, I wished I could have edited it before it was published 3) @cocky- I needed one more prisoner and he fit the bill.

	Cleaned up on the Royalty...Not so much with the Soldiers. I didn't think of Otto so much as a criminal (though he did commit crimes) as just a whacko.

	Great to see the usual suspects represented on the quiz. Easily one of my favourite movies. Nice quiz overall

	Nice quiz. Hepburn spelled her name Katharine, btw.

	What about Brando/deniro for criminal? (Godfather/gpii)

	"What about the Untouchables?" "I don't rate that at all."

	EVERY time Jimmy Markum is in a quiz, I start guessing names from The Departed. I cannot get it through my head that there is more than one movie about the Boston mob. I'm from Boston, so that's not too impressive.

	The question is poorly worded. "the profession their character portrayed" makes no sense. You either mean, "the profession of their character" or "the profession of the character they portrayed."

	JuliannasGaGa:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 03:52 GMT	4 points
	@drewcypher...do you understand that the actor has to have won an Oscar for the role? It's not just anyone who played the character.

	maaxwell:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 08:39 GMT	-2 points
	@anythingthrice: Who's going to be able to do that though? Sure someone might get lucky with a couple of answers but I doubt many people know every Oscar winner

	pator:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 10:07 GMT	-1 points
	It's arguable whether Jimmy Markum qualifies as a 'criminal'. He was certainly a former criminal, but within the events of the film, he was just a husband/father (who admittedly performed a criminal act at the end of the film). Good quiz though.

	Nice mix of actors and eras here. I'm very glad to see Susan Hayward mentioned; you rarely see her name anymore.

	mellybmel:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 23:07 GMT	2 points
	LOVED (though couldn't remember) seeing Harold Russell. That's what trivia questions are for! And "Best Years of Our Lives" is terrific.
