	"Sweeney Todd" should be enough.

	Just one thing: "The Philospher's Stone" needs to be accepted. Otherwise, great quiz, and helluva great actor.

	@Kate: I sincerely doubt that you would be flooded with a huge outpouring of thanks or cash prizes for your creation of the vaunted "Alan Rickman Movies" quiz on Sporcle. I've had the same thing happen to me on quizzes, and what you should do is just feel the personal satisfaction and pride in knowing that you entertained thousands of your peers on this very community-intensive website.

	By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings.

	I don't think it's quite fair that "Harry Potter 1" etc work, but you have to type in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". But good quiz. My favorite would have to be Galaxy Quest, though I feel maybe that should be listed here as "Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus," but that's just me.

	Finally, a sporcle to commemorate the greatest actor to ever li8ve. Well done!

	ANNA1981:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 09:09 GMT	8 points
	Alan Rickman is a great actor! Especially as Snape. I was confused however that "Something the lord made" was not on the list, as Rickman plays the main character. I have it on DVD and was the first thing I tried to type. But may be it was a TV film or something...

	DerKomissar:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 09:21 GMT	12 points
	Am I the only one who tried "Florida Gators: The Movie" for Steven Spurrier?

	Kate:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 09:23 GMT	8 points
	@John JF - Not looking for cash prizes or anything. Just a little surprised that I didn't receive credit, since I have received credit for two other quizzes that I contributed. And those quizzes ran within days of my submitting them. :) @ANNA1981: STLM was a TV movie. But it would have been nice if the rules had made it clear that the quiz was for his theatrical releases only.

	@DerKossimar-I thought that way too, although I thought maybe he played Steve in The Express.

	Guinevere:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 09:51 GMT	3 points
	Hmm, I never thought my knowledge of Eammon de Valera would come in handy on Sporcle (I've never seen the movie but was able to figure it out based on the character he played).

	Josh:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 10:09 GMT	20 points
	I agree with JoeFish. The first Harry Potter movie was called 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' only in USA and India. For the rest of the world it's 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and therefore both versions should be accepted.

	This is the one quiz I've been waiting for. All those years of being obsessed with this man will FINALLY pay off.

	shmoses:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 15:10 GMT	4 points
	I agree with JoeFish, I must have gone through about 8 different spellings of "philosopher" in the process of this quiz...

	Dummo:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 15:30 GMT	4 points
	I'm surprised his feature film debut was 'Die Hard'. For such a talented actor it's surprising he didn't make his feature film debut until he was 42.

	Starpossum:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 16:10 GMT	4 points
	Glad to see Galaxy Quest up around the middle, I thought it'd be lower. Also, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" should be accepted.

	Nemesissy:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 16:24 GMT	3 points
	Why the hell doesn't it accept Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? It's the proper title as well.....

	rockgolf:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 16:47 GMT	3 points
	Good news, everybody! Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone is now acceptable @Kate: Bravo for the suggestion, and I assume, the research!

	Funguy2:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 16:51 GMT	2 points
	he was also in an animated movie called Help! I'm a Fish, his character was named Joe the Fish

	I love Alan Rickman!!

	Dorak:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:15 GMT	5 points
	Quigley is a very underrated action-Western. Die Hard With a Vengeance should be a bonus answer, since he appears in a quick flashback.

	joeblow:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:15 GMT	-4 points
	am i the only one that just new Die Hard? side note he was also featured in a quick flashback in Die Hard: With a Vengeance

	Fitz:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:37 GMT	6 points
	Bruce Willis should send a thank you card to Alan Rickman every year. Without Hans Gruber as a foil, John Mclane just wouldn't be the man he is today: "I wanted this to be professional, efficient, adult, cooperative. Not a lot to ask. Alas, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way... so he won't be joining us for the rest of his life."

	zalagreensbury:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT	4 points
	I wonder if Alan Rickman is aware of how many tween girls think he's God's gift of sex appeal...those HP fans are strange lol.

	Dodge:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	23 points
	Snape... Snape... Severus Snape...

	theGrit:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 18:57 GMT	2 points
	Ah, I love Alan Rickman. Nice quiz! Sadly, I didn't do as well as I hoped, mostly because I couldn't remember the names of half of the movies. Oh well.

	Kicking222:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	3 points
	"Dogma" is one of my favorite films ever, and "Die Hard" is pretty excellent. Aside from that, I've never seen a minute of a film he's in... and yet, I have great reverence for him, though I couldn't tell you why.

	GeordieGuitarist:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 20:30 GMT	10 points
	The greatest voice in the history of the world.

	djphob:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	1 point
	You see his naughty bits in Dark Harbor. I am so mad that I couldn't remember more. I am probably the only person in the world who owns a copy of Blow Dry and I still forgot about it.

	Jmisho:	Aug 16th, 2009 at 22:10 GMT	-2 points
	In the books, Snape is in his twenties or thirties, but Alan Rickman is 63. I wonder how that happened.

	@jmisho: awesomeness of great magnitudes can reverse the effects of aging

	Amazing actor, perfect at playing the 'bad guy'!

	chikka2:	Aug 17th, 2009 at 01:44 GMT	1 point
	Alan Rickman is an exceptional actor who overcame a lot to have the voice he has today. I have loved his work since the quirky "Ed" in January Man. Thanks for this quiz, Sporcle

	@ Anna1981: "Something the Lord Made" was an HBO film made for the cable network. It was not released in theaters. (Great film though.) I'm assuming that theatrical release was the criteria for the quiz.
