	Wow I was getting a lot of bonuses too.

	Holy Bonuses, Batman!

	i must say, i greatly prefer the adjusted list to the other, which is more than alf made of sequels and things with colons in the title

	thedpr:	May 26th, 2010 at 04:44 GMT	25 points
	There is no "Indiana Jones and the" for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

	I thought I was doing great until I scrolled down and saw I was getting more bonuses than actual answers... I strangely liked the false ego boost.

	I thought I was doing really well getting answer after answer and then I scrolled down...whoops.

	Crap, I forgot the HP movies. Since it accepts Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 for POTC:DMC and POTC:AWE, it should accept Pirates of the Caribbean for POTC:CotBP.

	evil_fruit_girl:	May 26th, 2010 at 05:56 GMT	3 points
	Is anyone else surprised Citizen Kane, Schindler's List, and Psycho didn't make it? Ah, great under-appreciated movies. The adjusted are better overall than the current.

	Over 30 bonus answers. Oops.

	A great quiz, but there's a lot of inconsistency in how series are treated. For example you can do Harry Potter 2, 3, 4 etc, but you can't get number one. Same with LOTR, for example. I was really wondering why so many huge name series had such crappy starts, until I got to the end and realised it was that the first movie required me to give the full name, while the rest would take the series title and a number.

	@evil fruit girl Definitely! I tried all three of them...and deerhunter, twelve angry men and others that I suppose have entered canon as being good films but weren't box office hits...

	jiminymatthew:	May 26th, 2010 at 11:27 GMT	10 points
	It felt pretty awesome to see Pinocchio on a highest grossing list.

	alkeiper:	May 26th, 2010 at 11:47 GMT	5 points
	@evil_fruit_girl. The absence of Citizen Kane isn't a surprise given that Hearst tried to kill the movie upon release. RKO struggled just to find locations to screen it.

	GaiusMarius:	May 26th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	13 points
	@tjvhammer "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" was originally released as "Star Wars."

	piford:	May 26th, 2010 at 12:11 GMT	1 point
	i only got 11 but i got like 100 bonuses

	DoctorNick14:	May 26th, 2010 at 12:17 GMT	13 points
	If you're saying US box office movies, it should be "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" that was the US release

	mrgenova:	May 26th, 2010 at 13:09 GMT	17 points
	Awful to see "Revenge of the Fallen" in the top 40. To quote The Critic, "If you stop GOING to bad movies, they'll stop MAKING bad movies."

	Khazar49:	May 26th, 2010 at 13:22 GMT	3 points
	Forgot every Harry Potter, every LotR, every Indiana Jones. And got about 40 bonuses. Epic fail.

	kane2742:	May 26th, 2010 at 13:50 GMT	6 points
	Minor nitpick: "Spider-Man" should be hyphenated.

	tomstar86:	May 26th, 2010 at 14:00 GMT	4 points
	Got sooo many bonuses haha! Surely if the quiz accepts "Star Wars" for episode IV, it should accept Star Wars Episode I, Star Wars Episode V etc ?! A bit picky as it accepts "Lord of the Rings 2"! Still, good quiz!

	I missed a bunch of obvious ones because I got frustrated: every time I put in an answer, it got accepted as a bonus answer. You don't need to include all those bonus answers, unless they're on both lists!

	cjmulrain:	May 26th, 2010 at 15:04 GMT	6 points
	Inflation is a bitch - Avatar's adjusted gross is ALREADY 13 million dollars more than its real gross. Also, Gone With the Wind made an adjusted $1.6 Billion, more than double Avatar. Nothing will ever sell as many tickets as GWtW did.

	ClintT13:	May 26th, 2010 at 15:08 GMT	4 points
	It would be a lot easier if it accept "Star Wars: Episode I", Episode II, etc. I don't have the subtitles memorized for all of them, but i knew they were on the list. Also, it should accept "Raiders of the Lost Ark", since that's the name of the movie. "Indiana Jones and the ..." was only added to the titles of the subsequent films in the series.

	cmkeller:	May 26th, 2010 at 15:09 GMT	4 points
	@cjmulrain: Of course not, since home video has killed the market for theatrical re-release. GWTW's take includes many runs in the theater. Shocked that Wizard of Oz isn't up there at all. Also surprised to see Thunderball as the (adjusted) top-grossing Bond film. It's not bad, but I don't know that anyone considers it the best or iconic.

	grita6689:	May 26th, 2010 at 16:18 GMT	-1 points
	BAHH, how could I have forgotten the Star Wars movies!?!?!?!

	ratface:	May 26th, 2010 at 16:38 GMT	2 points
	Kudos on including so many bonus clues. I would have been typing away thinking I had misspelled something, or needed the "subtitle". But the bonus made it clear - it knows what movie you mean, but it ain't on the list! Seems the next 40 were a lot easier to guess than the top 40...

	ratface:	May 26th, 2010 at 16:39 GMT	4 points
	Somehow I go "raiders of the lost ark" bonus #62 on the left, but it didn't trigger as #17 on the left.

	drn211:	May 26th, 2010 at 18:33 GMT	7 points
	I think this quiz might set a record for bonuses on quiz with 120 (#41 to #100 on each list)

	atoratzy:	May 26th, 2010 at 21:10 GMT	5 points
	pretty sure that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone was not a huge success in the US box office, since it was called the Sorceror's Stone here in this country.
