	Great Quiz

	lisawc:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 16:34 GMT		4 points
	Needed two more seconds....

	fraac:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 17:31 GMT		8 points
	I gave up with 4 left then realised I had just enough information and time to guess the rest. Very neat quiz.

	For anyone who hasn't seen Peter Finch's performance in Network, I highly recommend checking it out. The movie is quite prophetic in predicting what has happened with television today. I think it's streaming on Netflix too... Great quiz!

	Is this not happening to anyone else? It won't take the Rain Man answer for me. I double checked every item in the answer and I am not typing anything wrong, but it just won't accept it. Weird.

	@fraac: Seconded. I can't imagine the amount of crosschecking Hej had to do to make sure nothing was duplicated in the first or last names category and still make a comprehensive list.

	Uhh... Shiny McShine?

	Hejman:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 18:29 GMT		1 point
	@BurmaShave- Just checked it and Rain Man worked fine for me. If others are having that same problem please leave a comment so it can be looked into. Thanks!

	Good idea for a quiz! The amount of times when I knew the actor and the film, but not the character...

	I think the quiz would have been better with fewer titular characters.

	Great quiz! Ironically, I just saw 'Network' last night (er, early this morning?) on TCM. Do more of these quizzes please. :-)

	pirate6711:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 22:39 GMT		4 points
	Tough quiz. I was able to put almost all of the actors with the correct movie, but getting both the first and last names of the characters was the tough part. Tough=good in sporcle land though!

	adjamemnon:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 22:43 GMT		6 points
	I feel like such a detective on these. I fill in what I know for sure, then the ones where I make educated guesses. Then I can stab at the ones remaining and when I get them all, I feel such a (probably overblown) sense of accomplishment. Thanks, great quiz!

	Hejman:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 23:08 GMT		1 point
	@TimeAndTide- There are several more version already done and contributed including Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress and three different versions of Best Director. You can find them all on my list of user contributed games. Glad you liked this one!

	Interesting challenge. I haven't seen all of these movies but could get through the ones I knew and relied on a lot of furious guessing toward the end. Well done.

	Yikes. Couldn't quite get there. With the size of the entry field, if you misspell something you're screwed because you can't see it. Oh well, pretty fun anyway.

	emdawg1100:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 07:01 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz, I quite enjoyed it. That being said having to type in 2 sets of first and last names + a movie title was a little monotonous. All the same, good job.

	@BurmaShave Is it possible that it's not working for you because you're trying the character first name Ray instead of Raymond? Technically he does go by Ray in the movie, but his full name is Raymond Babbitt and Ray is for Jamie Foxx's Ray Charles.

	Shouldn't the sample be Colin Firth Albert Windsor The King's Speech?

	Now, we just need one for the ladies.
