	Speaking of Der Untergang in current events, Dear Constantin - Get a life!

	markyb:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 04:32 GMT		28 points
	Not American-centric enough.

	Ibarez:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 04:53 GMT		0 points
	Wow, this is the very definition of a tough quiz. I had no chance on this one, since I'm sort of linguistically challenged.

	Also, this quiz was brilliant, you had some classics on there. Tho I am not too much of a fan of Soviet Montage, I am a huge fan of City of God and Bicycle thieves and a bunch of others on this list. There are some amazing foreign films out there. On a sequel, put the Apu trilogy on there.

	@Cheese_Ed, dear friend, great job, even if I didn't score so great.

	baronac:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 05:55 GMT		8 points
	Best collection of movies I've ever seen on a Sporcle quiz. And MovieDynamic: Really? I mean, Really?

	You have nearly all the popular foreign titles from IMDB, but I was surprised to not see "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain."

	@fabbii2444 - because more often than not, the negative comments are regarding the content and not the form of the quiz. I may not love all the films chosen, but the quiz is well-executed so I will rate it highly.

	psyne:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 06:28 GMT		3 points
	@list_smith - I was too, but I think they probably decided that was a bit TOO obvious. I mean, the entire English title is in the French name.

	RebeccaAMax:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 06:44 GMT		11 points
	Funny thing about Les quatre-cent coups, it's an idiom in French but the fools decided to translate it literally so the English title makes no sense.

	motherboyXXX:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 07:30 GMT		7 points
	I meant his first comment was good, my bad. Hopefully we'll see some Fellini films among others in the inevitable sequel to this quiz.

	City of God and Motorcycle Diaries are both incredible films. Go check them out!

	rudi:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 08:50 GMT		2 points
	loved it . . . no punches pulled! if one more minute were allotted, I would have gotten 28 instead of 26 (two more popped into mind two seconds before the clock ran out). But don't change a thing!

	I _knew_ most of those names - in my native tongue... -_-" A slight nitpick: some of the answers require spelling out "the", even though articles are generally ignored on Sporcle. This cost me a couple of answers, since I was trying direct translations and just figured that the English name was somehow modified (curiously, it didn't accept "Bicycle thief", but gave the right answer with "bicycle thieves" instead).

	OwenHerring:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 10:29 GMT		-4 points
	I've never seen the singular English title for Ladri di biciclette - I've always known it as 'Bicycle Thieves', the direct translation.

	I have just discovered the first commandment of Sporcle - "Thou shalt not agree with Movie Dynamic regardless of the relevance of his comment".

	Sparky:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 12:16 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz- probably a great list of films to watch too, the ones I've seen like Seventh Seal, Run Lola Run, Let the right one in, Seven Samurai, Pan's Labyrinth, Spirited Away etc. etc. - all excellent films. Seventh Seal is one of my all-time favourites.

	Kicking222:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 12:19 GMT		1 point
	As soon as I saw this quiz, I said to myself, "Oh my god, I hope I see 'Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi'!!" I know nothing about the Japanese language, but I do know that "Spirited Away" is one of the best films ever made. Totally unrelated, I have no idea how I did so well on this quiz. I've only seen six of the films listed, and I didn't even get two of those. But... I'm happy, I guess?

	@ Kicking Totally agree on 'Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi'

	gwynn1984:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 13:27 GMT		13 points
	I think the problem with including Fellini is that almost all of his better-known films are already known in English by their original title (8 1/2, Amarcord, La Dolce Vita, La Strada, etc.).

	Khazar49:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 14:52 GMT		-3 points
	Any cinephile worth his salt will find this quiz relatively easy. I certainly did. But it's a great quiz.

	mirror_noir:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 15:37 GMT		-4 points
	@Bismarck - you obviously don't, since these are their original names. Great quiz. So happy to see Pan's Labyrinth on a quiz, my favorite film of all time.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 16:09 GMT		1 point
	Can't believe Night Watch is on there. Having a film major for a brother does have its benefits.

	DWolf:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 16:09 GMT		4 points
	@mirror_noir: well, he could know these original names, but not know what the English versions are called. Or he just misspoke.
