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

	zalagreensbury:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT	16 points
	How come when I typed in just 'Star Wars' it went through but when I typed in 'Harry Potter' it wanted the exact one.

	juviejay:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT	22 points
	Would have been helpful if the year of the movie was given before you had to guess it.

	brianc:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 04:57 GMT	11 points
	@zala: because episode 4 is commonly known as just "star wars" but each harry potter movie has a different name, "harry potter and ..."

	zalagreensbury:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 05:05 GMT	-2 points
	Oh yeah, that triology and prequel nonsense confused me, when I saw Episode 4 I forgot that, that's actually the 'first' one.

	segacs:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 05:12 GMT	-2 points
	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...

	Jono_:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 05:57 GMT	3 points
	surprising how hard it is to figure all of them out, considering how i've seen almost all of them.

	Shades703:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 06:01 GMT	3 points
	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.

	jaspa:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 06:22 GMT	27 points
	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.

	AltarofKez:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 06:47 GMT	9 points
	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.

	SMauldin311:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 06:49 GMT	5 points
	it definitely helps to be able to type in 1, 2, or 3 instead of the full names.

	Osprey39:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 07:25 GMT	3 points
	Just keep guessing Spielberg movies.

	betared:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 07:48 GMT	1 point
	Got to question the logic of this quiz coming out this week, you are going to have to edit Zombieland in a few days.

	FliryVorru:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 07:52 GMT	4 points
	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.

	Rifsun:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 08:05 GMT	4 points
	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."

	richardiow:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 08:31 GMT	5 points
	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.

	joshow:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 08:48 GMT	10 points
	For anyone else that kept trying "Wall-E" to no avail - $223,808,164. Close but no cigar.

	Zalx:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 09:52 GMT	2 points
	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.

	JoeGrzzly:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 10:05 GMT	0 points
	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.

	chasmmi:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 10:54 GMT	-4 points
	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.)

	GeordieGordie:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 11:54 GMT	1 point
	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.

	ithkrall:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 12:19 GMT	0 points
	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.

Comment below threshold: show it

	SentioVenia:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 13:45 GMT	9 points
	How about a bonus for movies with numbers as titles? I believe the winner there would be "300".

	marpocky:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 14:17 GMT	1 point
	I'm sad that it wouldn't accept "X-Men 3" when I got the Harry Potter, LOTR, and Pirates films in that manner.

	marpocky:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 14:18 GMT	1 point
	OK, now it does accept it. I swear it didn't a minute ago.

	shawnoc:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 14:35 GMT	6 points
	This is a bit too specific. It wouldn't accept "Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest" without the colon.

	DaveC:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 15:06 GMT	4 points
	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).
