Good quiz -- looking at your link, I think the answer for 'G' should actually be Ghostbusters, not what you have there.

Oh whoops, thanks a lot! Oh, and BTW, I know that "Z" isn't in the link, but I got a list of movies beginning with Z from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films:_X-Y-Z#Z), and then I checked those movies' total US gross, and got this source (http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2001/ZLNDR.php). Just in case anyone complains!

Yeah fun game, but with the Z answer you now have two different sources used - imdb and thenumbers.com. Could you just pull them all from thenumbers web site? or box office mojo perhaps? Great game though!

It's not taking the answer "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", despite that being the exact answer

Argh, unfortunately, I can't find a single site that has a single list that would go down as far as $45 million for the "Z" film.

Oh now this is a winner! But shrink the first column. You don't need to waste all that area on 1 letter. Accept "lord of the rings" and "pirates of the caribbean" without the subtitles, and fix the spelling on your link - it's IM
DB
, not IM
BD
. Also, why doesn't Titanic get a year?

Thanks, fixed the IMDB (oops), shrank the first column, and added Titanic's year. Well, as for the "L" and "P" movies, both of them were the 3rd part of a trilogy, so I accepted "Lord of the Rings 3". Hope that makes sense.

Actually, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was the second part of the trilogy, not the third. The third was "Pirates of the Caribbean :At World's End".

Surprised that only 19% of people guessed Harry Potter. Enjoyed this quiz though :)

How come when I typed in just 'Star Wars' it went through but when I typed in 'Harry Potter' it wanted the exact one.

Would have been helpful if the year of the movie was given before you had to guess it.

@zala: because episode 4 is commonly known as just "star wars" but each harry potter movie has a different name, "harry potter and ..."

Oh yeah, that triology and prequel nonsense confused me, when I saw Episode 4 I forgot that, that's actually the 'first' one.

This is VERY difficult in that it requires the specific episode. I think it would be a much more doable quiz if it accepted "Star Wars", "X-Men", "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", etc. Okay, I get that it's not as accurate since there are several of them, but come on! I think I tried three different X-Men iterations but still didn't get it. Extremely difficult quiz.

Guessing the biggest movie franchises was good strategy... although there was no way I was going to get Quantum of Solace...

surprising how hard it is to figure all of them out, considering how i've seen almost all of them.

I think that if you have a sequel, fine, require the sequel's name. But for "Star Wars," it was the first one made. Harry Potter should be an acceptable answer since it is the first one in the series.

Nothing causes more panic than remembering "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" with only ten seconds left on the clock.

I got Harry Potter by typing in "Harry Potter 1." I would never remember any of those names in their entirety. Zombieland will soon require an update to this quiz.

it definitely helps to be able to type in 1, 2, or 3 instead of the full names.

Got to question the logic of this quiz coming out this week, you are going to have to edit Zombieland in a few days.

This is a great quiz, I'd just like to see a little bit more flexibility on the answers. Like AlterofKez stated very eloquently, it shouldn't take more than 10 seconds for anyone to type and answer but a few of them make you spell it out entirely. Very good quiz, otherwise. Great concept.

It makes perfect sense to accept "Star Wars" since that's what it was called when it was in theaters. They didn't add "Episode IV: A New Hope" until Lucas wanted to call the next one "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back."

Couldn't understand why 'Raiders of the Lost Arc' wasn't working. I think that's a whole new movie about missing mathematics, probably not a box office smash though! Stupid me.

For anyone else that kept trying "Wall-E" to no avail - $223,808,164. Close but no cigar.

I don't think that the amount made is a helpful enough clue. There is no way I could guess from them, which made this a game of just listing massive films for each letter. I'd rather see a year made line as the hint.

Makes you wonder how Star Wars after all this time, not including inflation, has still made so much money than all the othe movies that started with S.

This quiz is extremely difficult if you are not from the USA as we are used to looking at films based on worldwide gross not just US. Therefore I was furiously typing Independence Day and Kung Fu Panda to name but a few as in worldwide gross they are the correct answers. Was also slightly irritated that Raiders doesn't have the Indiana prefix like all the other films (and all other franchises with the respective prefixes come to think of it.)

I don't think not being from USA made it more difficult. I got 15 but forgot obvious stuff like Jurassic Park and I'm from the UK. We desperately need a good film starting with a V though-Van Helsing the highest grosser? No hope for the world.

Just a note, harry Potter 1 was released as Harry Potter and the philosophers stone across the rest of the world, but i guess this is for US movie rankings so Sorcerers stone makes sense.

X-men took me so long to get, even though I got the other specific titles...this was actually kind of hard.

How about a bonus for movies with numbers as titles? I believe the winner there would be "300".

I'm sad that it wouldn't accept "X-Men 3" when I got the Harry Potter, LOTR, and Pirates films in that manner.

This is a bit too specific. It wouldn't accept "Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest" without the colon.

I think Star Wars (and E.T.) have each been re-released in theaters in several times, which is why they have such high grosses (although, they also made a lot to begin with).
