	I kinda hoped Annie Hall would be here. Also, I don't understand the actors choices. But nice quiz!

	The Fountain is under-appreciated? i thought it was over-rated. Good quiz though.

	"Darren Aronofsky's most underappreciated film" could also be read as "Darren Aronofsky's film that nobody liked," now couldn't it? To be fair, I'm basing this purely off critical responses, I haven't seen it, whereas I have seen the other 4 features he's made.

	You should have just made an entry for "Every Christopher Nolan movie besides The Dark Knight".

	I have seen Batman Begins multiple times but I've never really gotten the impression that it is non-chronological.

	@H0limkill - I added Annie Hall, which is a wonderful example of nonlinear narrative. @djkparry - You're in good company having not liked it. It got savaged by critics, bombed, and most people who see it dislike it. I love it, though, so naturally I think it's "underappreciated". @Fojin - The first half cuts between Bruce's youth and his exploits in Asia. The second (and inferior) half of the film is all chronological. I will concede that out of all the films listed, Batman Begins relies on its nonlinear structure the least.

	@chrisgaitan I also love The Fountain and agree with it being under appreciated, simply because I honestly do not know a single other person who has seen it (not counting people online-and even then it is a small number). I know people who have heard of it and have heard of it getting bad reviews but that's about it. I'm happy that you included it.

	Really surprised to see that Irreversible wasn't guessed more.

	Batman Begins may use a couple of flashbacks in the beginning, but so do a lot of films. I hardly think that it should be labelled non linear because of that, there are other films such as Run Lola Run or The Hours would which better suit this quiz.

	Perhaps Marisa Tomei, instead of Maria Tomei?
