	Bring it on isn't about gymnastics. Its about cheerleading.

	say in the description that it's common themes, its kind of vague

	You've got to be broader in your acceptable answers - I entered racial tension, US President and Multiple characters for their appropriate films and got nothing.

	It's spelt "dwarves", not "dwarfs"

	strags11:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 07:57 GMT	1 point
	@Shayxin: both "dwarfs" and "dwarves" are correct. In fact, in some contexts (e.g. astronomy, mythology), only "dwarfs" is acceptable.

	themanintraining:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 08:26 GMT	14 points
	please accept 9/11

	bring it on isn't a gymnastics movie. I would suggest replacing it with "Fired Up!" or something that actually fits the answer

	kypzethdurron:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 11:02 GMT	2 points
	Was going to complain about acceptable phrases but decided to just complain about the quiz. "Dwarfs" decided it for me - that's a stupid 'link' for something like this. Factual inaccuracy and poor variation doesn't help. 24% getting 'multiple roles' is impressive. Great idea and variation is good (e.g. Drew and 1963) but really hard to work out that's what was meant.

	When people think of the Matrix, they think robots...

	baconstud01:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 13:57 GMT	8 points
	I actually do not think of robots when I think of the Matrix. I'd have to think a little more about it, but I'm not sure that anything in that movie (the first one) can be considered a robot. As others have said, you also need to at least accept 'dwarves' as an alternate answer. Finally, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and the Nutty Professor also have fat suits in common (Fat Bastard, Professor Klump). Why not just use International Man of Mystery, which has multiple roles but no fat suit?

	Neilios106:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 14:00 GMT	6 points
	The sentinels in the Matrix can definitely be considered robots, if nothing else

	Catherine_F:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 15:03 GMT	2 points
	I have seen the Great Escape and Sword in the Stone about fifteen times each and thought I'd end up kicking myself if I didn't get that answer, so I sat and thought about it for literally ten minutes. I probably needed ten more to come up with the fact they were made the same year.

	Ads:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 15:10 GMT	4 points
	Any quiz like this is going to have a LOT of a)multiple answer possibilities, all meaning the same thing, and b)people complaining that they didn't see the link, therefore it must be wrong/stupid/whatever. As dolfins said in his first (slightly petulant) comment... it's a work in progress. Props for having a go at a nice style of quiz..... but bring it on is not a gymnastics movie....

	BCSwede:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 15:24 GMT	3 points
	American Anthem is a good (okay, not really) gymnastics movie with Mitch Gaylord and Janet Jones (now Gretzky). Probably a better alternative than Bring It On.

	Paddlin:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 16:24 GMT	15 points
	I'm thinking you should accept "fat suits" for Austin Powers/The Nutty Professor.

	TubeChat:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 16:39 GMT	2 points
	The Shining and Parent Trap is a bit of a stretch. Parent Trap was about twins, Shining wasn't even though there were twins in it.

	nhorne:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 18:54 GMT	3 points
	Stick It and Bring It On were both written by Jessica Bendinger. It is the weakest question so you should probably just replace/change it, but at least accept that as an alternate if you're keeping it.

	Ethan Suplee is in Remember the Titans and American History X

	gymnastics are completely different than cheerleading, im sorry!

	dmills1108:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 23:01 GMT	7 points
	Or if you know cheerleading you would know that the stuff they do in tryouts is called tumbling. Not Gymnastics.

	javit27:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 23:07 GMT	2 points
	Or people might have seen both movies (Stick It and Bring It On), and know Bring it On is not about gymnastics. Then they would think the answer couldn't possibly be gymnastics.

	mapgar:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 23:34 GMT	1 point
	To pull this off you need to get really really divergent movie with something really specific connecting them there are all kinds of linkages you may not make that other people do. For instance both Snow White and Willy Wonka featured musical numbers.

	stumper93:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 00:19 GMT	4 points
	hmm...for Austin Powers/Nutty Professor....I would have assumed "Fat Bastards".....................

	nojsekilelcrops:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 02:29 GMT	1 point
	How about changing the stick it one to bring it on and fired up! and change the answer to cheerleading?

	legriff:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 02:35 GMT	1 point
	@stumper93 I was thinking 'guys punching waaaaay above their weight', but I don't think the analogy really works for the Nutty Professor.

	dummo:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 03:07 GMT	2 points
	@Dolfins: you're confusing the term gymnastics with flexability which is involved in both cheerleading and gymnastics. Gynmastics is a specific sport. Saying Bring it on is about gymnastics is like saying Fight Club is about boxing.

	You should accept prostitutes not just prostitution. Especially in Pretty Woman the movie isn't about her prostitution but the fact that she's a prostitute.

	Widen the clues to 60%. They are much bigger than the answers.

	alsanali:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 17:41 GMT	-1 points
	Hate to toot my own horn here but check out what I did for a really similar quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/alsanali/common_things_in_films/results. Three movies for each clue so its more apparent what you're looking for, plus details elaborating on the answers. But then again this quiz has been taken more times so what do I know?

	ebear444:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 19:49 GMT	0 points
	multiple roles? how about accepting several characters, many roles etc. jackass

	Chris968:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 20:35 GMT	2 points
	I did write that down. Why do you keep freaking out at people? You made a bad quiz, so fix it.
