	Thank you for putting the best director of all time on here, Ingmar Bergman.

	this quiz is painfully vague

	Not that I had even saw him before giving up, but thank you for including Jeunet.

	Surprisingly entertaining; and unsurprisingly difficult.

	This one just didn't work for me at all--it's not like Billy Wilder is famous for making "Stalag 17" right after making "Ace in the Hole", so it's really kind of a lot of "guess films by this director until, if you're lucky, you hit the right one".

	definitely need to add the word immediately, b/c when i saw 'back to the future 2', i was thinking at least theres one gimme, but nope.

	Really fantastic and difficult quiz. Would love to see it repeated with other directors or changed into an "immediately after" quiz next.

	I think it would help to have a year somewhere on this quiz - either for the given movie, or a year of the previous movie.

	Jeez, this was HARD. RoloTomasi's comment sums it up perfectly. Though I do rather agree with Tahnan, I think there's still some amount of skill in thinking about when a movie was made and what other films were made by that director in the same time period. Completely unrelated, "The Prestige" is a stellar, underrated film.

	Very tough and very enjoyable.

	I thought this was great. Difficult, for sure, but if you can remember release dates, it's a good challenge.

	alanlit96:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 17:01 GMT	2 points
	A few of the selections were sort of odd or random, but the mix of directors was very cool and the quiz did what it was intended--tested your ability to remember key films and release dates.

	lemur:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 18:06 GMT	-1 points
	I love this idea, but I think a more careful selection of directors and/or films would have led to something a little more accessible.

	Sporcle publishes plenty of movie quizzes where the answers always include things like Fight Club, Se7en, Ghostbusters, It's a Wonderful Life, A Clockwork Orange, etc. I wanted to make a movie quiz that tilted more to the film buffs. Not every quiz has to be extremely easy where you score in the high 90%. Plus, film buffs get shafted more in movie quiz difficulty, because everyone likes movies, but many expect answers they already know. It doesn't have to be that way!

	Good quiz for people who like movies. I'm not good at this at all. I managed to get one.

	Stunk at it for the most part, and LOVED the challenge!

	juviejay:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 04:48 GMT	-2 points
	I wish you'd have included James Cameron in the quiz, but I suppose that would have been too easy.

	Great quiz, don't change a thing.
